Toward a Methodology of Rational System Design
In this paper I defend the view that there are rational methodological criteria for preferring one system design1 over another and that they are substantially the same as those of the scientific method. The parallels between the notion of a rational system design and the notion of a rational scientific theory are not coincidental: they reflect a fundamental similarity between the invention of d...
متن کاملToward a Rational Reconstruction of Design Inferences
Detecting the deliberate operation of intelligent agents in the environment is an activity so natural and pervasive that we may not be inclined, prereflectively, to classify it as an inference at all. The analogy with visual perception is initially very attractive. Just as we spontaneously discriminate among physical objects without any overt sense of deliberation, so we find ourselves sorting ...
متن کاملDetermination of Thermo-physical Properties of Non-Newtonian Fluids Using a Coaxial Cylindrical Cell
In this study the thermal conductivity and the volumetric heat capacity of non-Newtonian fluids are investigated. These fluids find many applications in chemical, medical and food industries. They mostly have viscoelastic behavior and generally differ from Newtonian fluids. Two non-Newtonian fluids, solutions of xanthan and carboxy methyl cellulose in water with various concentrations have bee...
متن کاملToward Boundedly Rational Analysis
The Bayesian program in cognitive science has been subject to criticism, due in part to puzzles about the role of rationality and approximation. While somewhat sympathetic with these concerns, I propose that a thoroughgoing boundedly rational analysis strategy can answer to some of them. Through simulation results I illustrate the method by showing how one can retrodict recently reported result...
