Computer Integration within Problem Solving Process

Computer Integration within Problem Solving Process

In this paper we discuss a software technology that supports computer integration within the problem solving process, independent of problem domain. Due to space limitation we present here a short but comprehensive version of this research and encourage the reader to access the extended version at URL https://www.cs.uiowa.edu/ ̃rus.

A Cooperative Problem Solving Framework for Computer-Aided Process Planning

Computer-aided process planning is the link between design and manufacturing in a computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) environment. The process planning problem comes out as a rigid hierarchical structure of tasks where the lowest levels are well defined tasks, such as determination of machine and cutting parameters, while the top levels control, coordinate, and manage the entire system. Suc...

Computer Assisted Medical Problem Solving

These programs would be excellent additions to a medical school physiology course, either integrated into the curriculum or made available as an additional teaching aid to interested students. They use the full potential of computers as an educational tool and offer another important means of teaching crucial topics students often find difficult. One disk for the IBM PC/ XT/AT. No price.

The Cooperative Problem-solving Process

We present a model of cooperative problem solving that describes the process from its beginning, with some agent recognising the potential for cooperation with respect to one of its goals, through to team action. Our approach is to characterise the mental states of the agents that leads them to solicit, and take part in, cooperative action. The model is formalised by expressing it as a theory i...
