SummuryIncreasingly diverse and complex computer-based support underlies critical human processes, such as education, commerce, medicine, science, defense, and government. These systems are fed massive amounts of data and due to the complexity and size of these systems, they are integrating and interfacing with each other with less human oversight. Soon, they will need to build, refine, and elaborate their own models and processes, making more decisions about what information to use in what manner and how to approach problems or goals. Hence, these systems must be able to reason about and report out to us their modeling and processing choices in order to help us monitor and control their operations and interactions. In this paper, we discuss our work on creating reflective systems, and how reflection coupled with “generative processes” and “cognitive instrumentation” will help enable organic computing systems. We then briefly describe our testbed for studying self-conscious modeling.

Many complex, computer-based systems are characterized as requiring successful team rather than individual performance. In systems such as combat information centers, air traffic control centers, and aircrew cockpits, the various individuals must coordinate their performance with other individuals in a relatively rigid task and communication structure in order to complete their mission successfully. Given the widespread existence of requirements for team functioning, it is surprising that the research literature dealing with team performance is so limited.

Skills such as flying holding patterns are taught in planes or simulators. An alternative method is to use computer-assisted instruction (CAI) which emphasizes training requirements rather than physical fidelity. Such a program was written and evaluated. Traditional ground school methods were compared with the CAI method. All subjects completed a training sequence in a ground trainer. Those taught by computer performed better and attained criterion quicker with significantly fewer critical errors. Results indicate that CAI offers an effective alternate to the costly trainers currently in use.

The Ideal

AbstractThe automatic assessment of students’ free-text answers has recently received much attention, due to the necessity of exploring and taking advantage of new and more complex computer-based assessment methods. In this paper, a review of the state-of-art of the field is presented, focusing on the techniques that underpin these systems and their evaluation metrics. Although there is still a long way to go so as to reach the ideal system, the fact that the existing systems are already being used commercially and as a second opinion in exams such as GMAT proves the uptake of this field.

A computer-based salesman reporting system can be a powerful tool in helping managers select and implement management strategies. This article describes how the Pillsbury Company developed an improved salesman reporting system using a complex computer system. The system provides a detailed, common data base shared by managers and salesmen in improving selling performance.

Although much has been written about the use of information technologies for the management of archaeological resources at a national level, there has been little published discussion of the problems and opportunities that are apparent at the supra-national scale. In this paper, we consider the historical development and current state of database management systems and, more recently, geographic information systems in the management of archaeological information at a European scale. We review the development of archaeological inventories, from paper-based records to complex computer-based systems, and then consider the situation throughout Europe, taking account of archaeological needs as well as the administrative, social and political context. Our study reveals that, despite widespread acknowledgement of the advantages of such technologies, GIS has not been rapidly or consistently deployed. A very wide variety of systems and standards currently exists throughout the community, a situation which is explained through reference to the separate historical development of archaeological management structures in the different countries. We identify a number of common issues that recur wherever GIS has been applied to the management of archaeological inventories. Particular attention is drawn to historical and logistical issues, the availability of technological skills, geo-referencing, the spatial definition of the archaeological evidence and the definition of analytical concepts within archaeological management.
