The system uses a case-based problem solving methodology. The approach is based on the observation that experienced designers make new designs using knowledge of similar past cases. The design process is an iteration of decision using various kinds of knowledge such as design processes, technical decisions, and acceptability decisions. These decisions are ill-structured, and this feature makes it difficult to solve the design problem automatically. The structure of a human-computer cooperative design system is outlined.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":72691,"journal":{"name":"Conference proceedings.

Due to insufficient knowledge, it may not be possible to isolate an unreliable or poor source of information. However, if a set of sources provides information to a decision algorithm, the effect of these sources as a group could be analyzed in terms of the relative coherence of the sources within it. A group whose sources are in agreement regarding the same decision is more reliable than one in which the individual sources supported different decisions. A measure of the unreliability of a group is its 'disparity', which could compensate for disagreement within a group. Theory and results to support this group unreliability are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":72691,"journal":{"name":"Conference proceedings.

The perspective is centered around the concept of a team mind with three aspects that can be studied: behavior, consciousness, and subconsciousness. These aspects are described, along with methods for studying each. The operation of the team mind is illustrated by the functioning of an airline flight crew. It is believed that the team mind concept will be helpful for introducing phenomena from cognitive psychology, e.g. limited attentional resources, the effects of emotions, workload variables, automaticity, and characteristics of working memory.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":72691,"journal":{"name":"Conference proceedings.

A novel feature of this research was the development of a hybrid system of Bayesian regulated belief functions and symbolic endorsements for the resolution of uncertainty in the clinical observations. This hybrid system provided quantitative estimates of the nerve pathologies. while simultaneously providing the physician with qualitative information regarding the interrelations of the clinical findings and the diagnosis.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":72691,"journal":{"name":"Conference proceedings.

The team is hierarchical, with a primary decision-maker (DM0) and two subordinate DMs (DM1 and DM2). Given a set of measurements, the team has to decide whether a contact is a threat or a neutral. The subordinates are experts, one at detecting threats and the other at detecting neutrals. The team has access to noisy measurements from three sensors; one global, shared by all three DMs, and two local, dedicated to each of the two subordinates. The primary DM makes the final team decision based on the reports of the subordinates and the global measurement, and attaches a confidence level to the decision. A normative model for the distributed detection process is developed. The normative predictions are compared with the experimental data to identify cognitive biases of human DMs. A normative-descriptive model that accounts for these biases is developed, and is shown to provide an excellent match with the experimental data.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":72691,"journal":{"name":"Conference proceedings.
