  abstract =     "Describes the role of the novel technique of causal
                 probabilistic network (CPN) modeling as an approach to
                 tackling control system problems typified by that of
                 the administration of treatment to the patient
                 suffering from a chronic disease such as diabetes.
                 Three roles of a CPN are discussed. First, since
                 diabetes arises as a consequence of impaired control of
                 carbohydrate metabolism, the ability of a CPN to
                 represent the uncertainty of a physiologically-based
                 model is described. Second, its ability to make robust
                 estimates of the parameters of the metabolic model is
                 presented, and finally, in conjunction with decision
                 theory approaches, its ability to compare alternative
                 therapies and advise on insulin therapy for patients
                 with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is
                 illustrated.",
