A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation (1993)
Journal Article
Clarke, A. A., & Smyth, M. (1993). A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation. International journal of man-machine studies, 38(1), 3-22. https://doi.org/10.1006/imms.1993.1002

Co-operation is presented as a technique for radically improving human-computer interaction with complex knowledge bases during problem-identifying and problem-solving tasks. A study of human-human co-operation literature indicated the importance of... Read More about A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation.
