Interview: The Systems View from Barry G. Silverman: A Systems Scientist

Research Workshop on Expert Judgment, Human Error, and Intelligent Systems

should we model error processes? What are the most promising routes to error detection and mitigation? What should be the role of knowledge-based systems? The workshop brought together 20 participants from 8 European countries and the United States in the fields of psychology, judgment, and decision making, human-computer interaction (HCI), and AI to discuss the issues based on their own resear...

Behavioral Considerations in Developing Web Information Systems: User-centered Design Agenda

The current paper explores designing a web information retrieval system regarding the searching behavior of users in real and everyday life. Designing an information system that is closely linked to human behavior is equally important for providers and the end users.  From an Information Science point of view, four approaches in designing information retrieval systems were identified as system-...

Do What I Mean: Online Shopping with a Natural Language Search Agent

Ineffective search engines on e-catalog sites are driving away potential customers. Natural-language querying improves precision and parsing capability, and with advances in the technology, it can also meet these shopping sites' performance demands. Comments Copyright 2001 IEEE.

Evaluation of Two Laying Systems (Floor vs. Cage) on Egg Production, Quality and Safety

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of two laying systems (floor versus cage) on egg production, egg quality, and microbial safety. One hundred and eighty 42 wk old laying hens were separated into two groups of 90 hens each, and housed in laying cages and a floor laying system. Eggs from the hens were collected for 2 weeks, and hen-day egg production, egg quality (whole egg, albumen, ...
