An Interactive Decision System (AIDS) is described as a computer-based technique to rationalize the judgment process. This technique is intended to allow a typical manager to make decisions with more complete use of information available and fewer loose ends than is usually the case. (Author)

A programed investment decision system was developed with the aid of generalized perceptron-type pattern recognition techniques. It was implemented in form of a man-machine (MM) system: The human analyst performs (1) some unstructured (heuristic) decision functions, (2) parts of identification of the decision situation, and (3) numerical encoding…

Requirements for a desirable authoring system are reviewed and a proposal for an interrogative authoring system presented. (Author)

Paper describes a method of analysing information based on theories about the way in which human beings tackle this problem. (Author)

Describes a project to unite visual and audio compositions for simultaneous presentation in multi-media performances. Using a high-level graphics programing language, an applications program was written to the specifications of the composer. Description of the design system and graphics program include discussion of some of the difficulties…

The performance capabilities of the best computer chess programs are compared with their human counterparts with emphasis being placed on machine behavior limits. (Author)

Describes the User Template Mode, a system in which a user, by means of a simple catechism, can initially select all the desired parameters and options from a set of generalized building blocks. Thereafter, he need only invoke the template to obtain his customized interactive display automatically. (Author/VT)

An investigation which develops a method for the automatic collection of meaningful statistical information about the causes of program resubmittal in a batch-processing environment. (Author)

The essential components of an ideal facility for computer-assisted musical composition and research are briefly described. More detailed consideration is given to the central role of a graphical display unit in such a system. (Author)

A proposed student model consisting of a set of programs to represent the student's knowledge state. Teaching proceeds after a comparative evaluation of student and teacher programs, and learning is represented by direct modification of the student model. The advantages of an explicit procedural model are illustrated by considering a program which…

Paper analyses experience in the design of effective interactive communication procedures for computer systems in the light of established research on human verbal skills. (Author)
