Harmon, Paul; Pipe, Peter – Performance and Instruction, 1986
Describes design and presents examples of industrial use of small expert systems and guidelines for choosing problems which lend themselves to small tool solutions. Use of microcomputer facilitated decision tables to diagnose and categorize people, things, and issues is suggested, and development of three decision table formats is described. (MBR)

Peer reviewedHipel, Keith W.; And Others – International Studies Quarterly, 1988
Presents a comprehensive framework for modeling a hypergame: a game in which one or more players have misperceptions about the true nature of a dispute. A new hypergame analysis algorithm is devised for executing stability analyses and the efficacy of this new approach is demonstrated in a discussion of the Falkland--Malvinas conflict of 1982.…

Romiszowski, Alexander J. – Educational Technology, 1987
Describes the current status and limitations of expert systems, and explores the possible applications of such systems in education and training. The use of expert systems as tutors, as job aids, and as a vehicle for students to develop their own expert systems on specific topics are discussed. (40 references) (CLB)

Jonassen, David H.; Hannum, Wallace H. – Journal of Instructional Development, 1986
Describes functions comprising task analysis process--inventory, description, selection, sequencing, and analysis--and reviews distinctions between the micro/macro level, top-down/bottom-up, and job/learning task analysis processes. These functions and distinctions are combined into a quasi-algorithm suggesting which of 30 task analysis procedures…

Peer reviewedPeled, Zimra; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Proposes a taxonomy to aid decision makers in selecting computer software consistent with their educational values regarding the nature of instruction and the use of information technology, based on beliefs about human development and learning. Characteristics of instruction, properties of software, and the congruence between them are discussed.…

Peer reviewedDas-Gupta, Padmini – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1987
Presents an algorithm for use in natural language document retrieval systems which automatically determines if the conjunction "and" in a statement representing an information need should be translated into a Boolean "and" or "or." The results of an experiment that used the algorithm are reported, and further research is suggested. (CLB)
