Why Did That Happen? A Brief Explanation for the Proliferation of Barely Usable Software in Healthcare Systems
Clinicians and support staff are faced with increasingly complex computer applications. This complexity stems, in part, from the integration of heterogeneous systems ranging from computerized patient records to theatre management and dosage planning applications. Complexity also stems from the increased functionality offered by this new generation of IT systems. Many members of clinical staff a...
متن کاملWhy did the accident happen? A norm-based reasoning approach
To understand well a text written in natural language (NL), we need our knowledge about the norms of its domain. By the word “norm”, we mean here the normal and expected course of events in the absence of exceptions [6]. This type of knowledge enables us to infer richer conclusions than those given by means of truthpreserving entailments, for example, from the text: “Mon véhicule se trouvait ar...
متن کامل"Why did that happen?" - Building appropriate mental models on groupware functions
Mental models are cognitive structures, which are built to understand certain aspects of the real world. Planning and control of human activity are based on them (cf. Johnson-Laird 1980; Dutke 1994). Learning a computer application goes along with the development of appropriate mental models (Norman 1983; Dutke 1994). To support users in building up mental models, computer applications and thei...
متن کاملA World Full of Computers: How Did That Happen?
This paper argues in favor of more national and global histories of computing, describes the author’s current research, and presents preliminary findings about the global diffusion of IT with particular emphasis on developments in the pan-Atlantic community of North America and Europe from to 1940s to 2000. The author introduces a new model for dating events in the diffusion of computing.
متن کاملWhen Did that Happen? - Linking Events and Relations to Timestamps
We present work on linking events and fluents (i.e., relations that hold for certain periods of time) to temporal information in text, which is an important enabler for many applications such as timelines and reasoning. Previous research has mainly focused on temporal links for events, and we extend that work to include fluents as well, presenting a common methodology for linking both events an...
