Abstract

Attempts to use Arden Syntax for complex guidelines, such as that of Sailors et al.1 ­discussed earlier, revealed the poor fit of the Arden model for a problem that it was not originally intended to address, as indicated by the numerous workarounds necessary to create an operational implementation. This and other similar experiences have motivated several research efforts which intend to address these limitations.
