Elements Of Human Decision-Making, Jens G. Pohl
Elements Of Human Decision-Making, Jens G. Pohl
Collaborative Agent Design (CAD) Research Center
The purpose of this paper is to present some understandings of the human problem-solving activity that we have gained in the Collaborative Agent Design Research Center (CADRC) over the past two decades. Since we feel strongly that the human decision-maker should be an integral component of any computer-based decision-support system, it follows that we would have endeavored to incorporate many of the elements that appear to be important to the user in the design of these systems. The complexity of the human cognitive system is evidenced by the large body of literature that describes problem-solving behavior and the relatively fewer …

Design Synthesis From Interaction And State-Based Specifications, Jun Sun, Jin Song Dong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Interaction-based and state-based modeling are two complementary approaches of behavior modeling. The former focuses on global interactions between system components. The latter concentrates on the internal states of individual components. Both approaches have been proven useful in practice. One challenging and important research objective is to combine the modeling power of both effectively and then use the combination as the basis for automatic design synthesis. We present a combination of interaction-based and state-based modeling, namely, Live Sequence Charts and Z, for system specification. We then propose a way of generating distributed design from the combinations. Our approach handles systems with …
