Abstract

This paper presents the underlying technology of OncoTheraper, a Clinical Decision Support System for oncology therapy planning. The paper is focused on the representation of oncology treatment protocols by a temporally extended, Hierarchical Task Networks (HTN) based knowledge representation as well as their interpretation by a temporal HTN planning process. The planning process allows to obtain temporally annotated therapy plans that support decisions of oncologists in the area of paediatrics oncology. A proof on concept aimed to validate this technology is also described. In addition, a service oriented architecture that supports the decision services of the system is proposed.
