Preface

This book contains the extended version of the best papers of the Second Workshop on Knowledge Representation for Health Care (KR4HC 2010). This workshop was held in conjunction with the 19th European Conference in Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2010) at Lisbon, Portugal. As computerized health-care support systems are rapidly becoming more knowledge-intensive, the representation of medical knowledge in a form that enables reasoning is growing in relevance and taking a more central role in the area of medical informatics. In order to achieve a successful decision-support and knowledge management approach to medical knowledge representation, the scientific community has to provide efficient representations, technologies, and tools to integrate all the important elements that health care providers work with: electronic health records and health-care inf
