This volume's goal is to begin to document the dialogue processes in naturally-occurring human tutoring, in the context of informing the design of intelligent tutoring systems, and of interactive systems in general.
The contributors to this important volume begin with a simple premise: Computer system development is difficult, not primarily because of the complexity of technical problems, but because of the social interaction involved when users and designers learn to create programs and express ideas together.
This text discusses the emerging trend in product development and research that focuses on the increasingly important relationship between computer systems and social systems.
As more employees work non-routine hours, often in critical safety and security positions, recognizing and reducing stress and the human error it causes is more important than ever.
Even to the casual observer of the automotive industry, it is clear that driving in the 21st century will be radically different from driving as we know it today.
