Abstract
The Rutgers Research Resource on Computers in Biomedicine1 was established about 3 years ago with the objective of bringing advances in computer science—particularly in artificial intelligence and in interactive data base systems—into problems of biomedical inquiry. The main thrust of the Resource is to develop ways of using the computer as an integral part of the inquiry process. Our thesis is that the computer can be made to play an important role in this process if its potential for symbol manipulation is used to provide ‘intelligent assistance’ in the organization of scientific knowledge and in its utilization for problem solving.
