Proposing a new paradigm for Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), this ground-breaking book presents a research agenda for developing and testing that paradigm. It constitutes the first attempt to outline a comprehensive model of collaboration that integrates the cognitive/conceptual and social dynamics of groups. br br The challenge faced by all groups engaged in intellectual work is, on the one hand, to divide the task so that efforts of i individual members /i may proceed in parallel and, on the other hand, to synthesize their separate contributions to form a coherent whole. Addressing this challenge, Smith examines the general form of a theory of computer-based collaboration that extends across different tasks and working situations. He uses the work of Newell, Simon, and Anderson as a base from which to consider a group as a form of distributed information processing system. Within groups, there are constructs analogous to human long-term and short-term memory, conceptual processes, and problem solving and knowledge-construction strategies. He discusses two metacognitive issues -- awareness and control -- as they occur in collaborative behavior. And he reviews a number of advanced computer systems that support collaboration, focusing on their impact on the thinking and behavior of groups. br br Smith's theoretical framework combines elements of Information Processing System theory -- and its detailed process models of cognitive behavior -- with the situated perspective of activity theory. The book suggests new and useful ways of conceiving problems and solutions to all those interested in the ways in which people interact with each other and with computers to achievegoals. br
The primary aim of this volume is to provide researchers and engineers from both academic and industry with up-to-date coverage of new results in the field of robotic welding, intelligent systems and automation. The book is mainly based on papers selected from the 2019 International Workshop on Intelligentized Welding Manufacturing (IWIWM'2019) in USA. The articles show that the intelligentized welding manufacturing (IWM) is becoming an inevitable trend with the intelligentized robotic welding as the key technology. The volume is divided into four logical parts: Intelligent Techniques for Robotic Welding, Sensing of Arc Welding Processing, Modeling and Intelligent Control of Welding Processing, as well as Intelligent Control and its Applications in Engineering.
This work presents a goal-based model of decision making in which
the relative priorities of goals drive the decision process -- a
psychological alternative to traditional decision analysis.
Building on the work of Schank and Abelson, the author uses goals
as the basis for a model of interpersonal relations which permits
decisions to incorporate personal and adopted goals in a uniform
manner. The theory is modelled on the VOTE computer program which
simulates Congressional roll-call voting decisions.
The result of the first Appalachian Conference on neurodynamics, this volume focuses on processing in biological neural networks. How do brain processes become organized during decision making? That is, what are the neural antecedents that determine which course of action is to be pursued? Half of the contributions deal with modelling synapto-dendritic and neural ultrastructural processes; the remainder, with laboratory research findings, often cast in terms of the models. The interchanges at the conference and the ensuing publication also provide a foundation for further meetings. These will address how processes in different brain systems, coactive with the neural residues of experience and with sensory input, determine decisions.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is presented as a solution to the greatest challenges of our time, from global pandemics and chronic diseases to cybersecurity threats and the climate crisis. But AI also contributes to the climate crisis by running on technology that depletes scarce resources and by relying on data centres that demand excessive energy use. Is AI Good for the Planet? brings the climate crisis to the centre of debates around AI, exposing its environmental costs and forcing us to reconsider our understanding of the technology. It reveals why we should no longer ignore the environmental problems generated by AI. Embracing a green agenda for AI that puts the climate crisis at centre stage is our urgent priority. Engaging and passionately written, this book is essential reading for scholars and students of AI, environmental studies, politics, and media studies and for anyone interested in the connections between technology and the environment.
Highlighting and illustrating several important and interesting
theoretical trends that have emerged in the continuing development
of instructional technology, this book's organizational framework
is based on the notion of two opposing camps. One evolves out of
the intelligent tutoring movement, which employs
artificial-intelligence technologies in the service of student
modeling and precision diagnosis, and the other emerges from a
constructivist/developmental perspective that promotes exploration
and social interaction, but tends to reject the methods and goals
of the student modelers. While the notion of opposing camps tends
to create an artificial rift between groups of researchers, it
represents a conceptual distinction that is inherently more
interesting and informative than the relatively meaningless divide
often drawn between "intelligent" and "unintelligent" instructional
systems.
Over the last decade research into design processes utilizing ideas
and models drawn from artificial intelligence has resulted in a
better understanding of design -- particularly routine design -- as
a process. Indeed, most of the current research activity directly
or indirectly deals only with routine design. Not surprisingly,
many practicing designers state that the level of understanding
represented by these models is only of mild interest because they
fail to embody any ideas about creativity.
This book aims to present a summary of recent work on the interface between Artificial Intelligence and Statistics. It does this through presenting a series of papers by different authors working in different areas of this interface. These papers are a selected and referenced subset of papers presented at the 3rd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics, Florida, January 1991.
Morality seems to be irrational. Moral agents spread co-operation - this is good for all, but even better for the amoral. If "the virtuous" finish last, one cannot defend morality as rational. "Artificial Morality" addresses and answers this objection, by showing how to build moral agents that succeed in competition with amoral agents. Professor Danielson's agents deviate from the received theory of rational choice. They are bound by moral principles and communicate their principles to others. The central thesis of the book is that these moral agents are more successful in crucial tests, and therefore rational. Why design agents? Human agents and the situations they create are too complex for an investigation of the most elementary aspects of rationality and morality. Danielson uses instead robots paired in abstract games that model social problems, such as environmental pollution, which reward co-operators but even more those that benefit from others' constraint. It is shown that virtuous, not vicious, robots do better in these virtual games. This book should be of interest to those working in the fields of philosophy, artificial intelligence and computer studies.

The design and functioning of an information system improve to the extent that the system can handle the questions people ask. Surprisingly, however, researchers in the cognitive, computer, and information sciences have not thoroughly examined the multitude of relationships between information systems and questions -- both question asking and answering. The purpose of this book is to explicitly examine these relationships. Chapter contributors believe that questions play a central role in the analysis, design, and use of different kinds of natural or artificial information systems such as human cognition, social interaction, communication networks, and intelligent tutoring systems. Their efforts show that data structures and representations need to be organized around the questioning mechanisms in order to achieve a quick retrieval of relevant useful information.

This unique volume focuses on computing systems that exhibit
intelligent behavior. As such, it discusses research aimed at
building a computer that has the same cognitive architecture as the
mind -- permitting evaluations of it as a model of the mind -- and
allowing for comparisons between computer performance and
experimental data on human performance. It also examines
architectures that permit large, complex computations to be
performed -- and questions whether the computer so structured can
handle these difficult tasks intelligently.

Artificial Intelligence is a seemingly neutral technology, but it is increasingly used to manage workforces and make decisions to hire and fire employees. Its proliferation in the workplace gives the impression of a fairer, more efficient system of management. A machine can't discriminate, after all. Augmented Exploitation explores the reality of the impact of AI on workers' lives. While the consensus is that AI is a completely new way of managing a workplace, the authors show that, on the contrary, AI is used as most technologies are used under capitalism: as a smokescreen that hides the deep exploitation of workers. Going beyond platform work and the gig economy, the authors explore emerging forms of algorithmic governance and AI-augmented apps that have been developed to utilise innovative ways to collect data about workers and consumers, as well as to keep wages and worker representation under control. They also show that workers are not taking this lying down, providing case studies of new and exciting form of resistance that are springing up across the globe.
A recent area of interest in the Artificial Intelligence community
has been the application of massively parallel algorithms to
enhance the choice mechanism in traditional AI problems. This
volume provides a detailed description of how marker-passing -- a
parallel, non-deductive, spreading activation algorithm -- is a
powerful approach to refining the choice mechanisms in an AI
problem-solving system.
