Biographical Information:
Edward H. Shortliffe received an
A.B. in Applied Mathematics from Harvard College in 1970, a Stanford Ph.D.
in Medical Information Sciences in 1975, and an M.D. at Stanford in 1976.
During the early 1970s, Dr. Shortliffe was principal developer of the medical
expert system known as MYCIN. After a pause for internal medicine
house-staff training at Harvard and Stanford between 1976 and 1979, he
joined the Stanford internal medicine faculty where he has since directed
an active research program in clinical information systems development.
His interests include the broad range of issues related to integrated decision-support
systems and their effective implementation. He has spearheaded the
formation of a Stanford degree program in medical informatics and continues
to divide his time between clinical medicine and medical-informatics research.
A member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences,
the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the Association of American
Physicians, and the American Clinical and Climatological Association, Dr.
Shortliffe also has been elected to fellowship in the American College
of Medical Informatics, the American Association for Artificial Intelligence,
and the American College of Physicians. He is a member of the Board
of Regents of the American College of Physicians and sits on the editorial
boards of several medical computing and artificial intelligence publications.
He has served on the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (National
Research Council), the Federal Networking Advisory Committee (National
Science Foundation),
the Biomedical Library Review Committee (National Library of Medicine),
and received a research career development award from the latter agency.
In addition, he received the Grace Murray Hopper Award of the Association for Computing Machinery in 1976 and has been a Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation Faculty Scholar in General Internal Medicine. He has authored over 150 articles and books in the fields of medical computing and artificial intelligence. Volumes include Computer-Based Medical Consultations: MYCIN (Elsevier/North Holland, 1976), Readings in Medical Artificial Intelligence: the First Decade (with W.J. Clancey; Addison-Wesley, 1984), Rule-Based Expert Systems: The MYCIN Experiments of the Stanford Heuristic Programming Project (with B. G. Buchanan; Addison-Wesley, 1984), and Medical Informatics: Computer Applications in Health Care (with L.E. Perreault, G. Wiederhold, and L.M. Fagan; Addison-Wesley, 1990).

Abstract:
"Authoring a Multimedia Technical Book: Design
and Implementation
Considerations" A
new set of book publishing and distribution technologies has recently
emerged. Among them are electronic books, paperless publishing systems,
the Web (both the Internet and intranets, CD-ROMs, and DVDs).
This talk uses a newly released book, "The Anatomy of a High-Performance
Microprocessor: A Systems Perspective," by Shriver and Smith, as a case
study, and discusses various issues that arise in authoring multimedia
books, particularly those intended for small, technical audiences. After
a brief demonstration of the electronic version of the book, the talk will
focus on content development (e.g., the hypertext version of the book itself,
video clips, audio clips, technical articles from professional society
periodicals and conferences, material from vendors and the trade press,
technical presentations, and simulators), mutli-purposing source material,
authoring tools, indexing and searching documents, time commitments, protection
mechanisms, and copyright issues. A set of recommendations will be
presented to those who are embarking on similar projects.
Biographical Information:
Bruce Shriver received his PhD
in Computer Science from SUNY/Buffalo. He has published and lectured extensively
on the design and implementation of computer hardware and software systems.
Dr. Shriver was made an IEEE Fellow in 1990 for his work in Computer Systems
Organization and Microprogramming. He was president of the IEEE Computer
Society in 1992, and has been editor-in-chief of IEEE Computer and of IEEE
Software. He also has served as the program or general chair of over
40 international conferences.

Research
Association), FOCUS (Federation on Computing in the United States)
and on the Science Advisory Committee of a number of departments and univesities.
