The Marital and Physician Privileges—A Reprint of a Letter to a Congressman

A design of computer systems, that effectively supports the user, is a major goal within human-computer interaction. To achieve this, we must understand and master several tasks. These tasks concern firstly what to develop and secondly how to develop the system. The design and implementation of effective and efficient user interfaces is a prerequisite for the successful introduction of computer support in the medical domain. We base our work on a fundamental understanding of cognitive aspects of human-computer interaction, as well as on detailed analysis of the specific needs and requirements of the end users, i.e., the medical professionals. This thesis presents several approaches for development of systems for computer-supported work in health care. The solutions described concern vital problem areas: (1) the focus on the work tasks to be performed, (2) the cost of software and the way competition works in a networked world. Solutions to these problems can lead to more usable systems from a user's perspective but may also change the nature of computer applications

The Forest and the Trees in Constitutional Law

The pride of selecting a good catchy title, before you haveactually sketched out the lecture, is a pride that goeth before afall. My earliest discovered difficulty - and I imagine you willagree that it is enough difficulty for one effort - has been thatwhile I can see how over-long, over-loving attention to the treesone-by-one might narrow and confine one\u27s view of the forest, Ihave been unable, after some considerable trial, to see how youcan look at the forest without looking at the trees. Some prettybig mistakes, in writing and talking about law, have come fromtrying to describe the forest without bothering too much aboutthe trees. Have we here to do with a tragic predicament, one ofthe innumerable facets of original sin? Maybe, but since we haveto go on living, despite original sin, I shall live as best I can withthis title; I have buttered my bread, now let me lie in it. I hopemy title may at least have some of the thing called heuristicvalue - that last refuge of inept titles as of inapt hypotheses

An Emergentist Account of Collective Cognition in Collaborative Problem Solving

As a first step toward an emergentist theory of collective cognition in collaborative problem solving, we present a proto-theoretical account of how one might conceive and model the intersubjective processes that organize collective cognition into one or another--convergent, divergent, or tensive--cognitive regime. To explore the sufficiency of our emergentist proposal we instantiate a minimalist model of intersubjective convergence and simulate the tuning of collective cognition using data from an empirical study of small-group, collaborative problem solving. Using the results of this empirical simulation, we test a number of preliminary hypotheses with regard to patterns of interaction, how those patterns affect a cognitive regime, and how that cognitive regime affects the efficacy of a problem-solving group
