Burger, Michael L. and DeSoi, John F. (1992): The Cognitive Apprenticeship Analogue: A Strategy for Using ITS Technology for the Delivery of Instruction and as a Research Tool for the Study of Teaching and Learning. In International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 36 (6) pp. 775-795

“In this paper, a general overview of the components which have characterized the development of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) over the past fifteen years is provided. Accompanying the overview of each component is a discussion of limitations which, we feel, restrict the extent to which ITS technology can be useful as an instructional delivery vehicle and as a tool which can be used to learn about the processes which underlie teaching and learning. These limitations, however, can be compensated for by altering how and for what purposes ITSs are developed and implemented. Our goal in writing this paper, in addition to discussing the problems associated with present ITS approaches, is to present a set of suggestions which we feel can guide the development and implementations of ITSs such that their potential for useful instructional tools can be enhanced and extended. We argue for the development of ITSs which: (i) progressively and as such as possible reduce the a priori restrictions that are placed on learners as they learn new content. Technology should empower the learner as a learner, enabling him/her to uncover the "mysteries" of new knowledge. Technology should not rob learners of the joy of discovery the "aha!" experience. It should, however, facilitate the integration of new findings into existing cognitive frameworks, and provide opportunities for learners to examine and expose misunderstandings and misconception about how the "universe" operates; (ii) enable educators to reliably determine and report what is being learned and mastered against some set of standards which exist independent of the learning environment; and (iii) provide opportunities for educators to learn about how learning is occurring and intercede (real-time if necessary) in ways that can alter and improve (either temporarily or permanently) the environment within which student interactions are occurring.”

DeSoi, John F., Lively, William M. and Sheppard, Sallie V. (1989): Graphical Specification of User Interfaces with Behavior Abstraction. In: Bice, Ken and Lewis, Clayton H. (eds.) Proceedings of the ACM CHI 89 Human Factors in Computing Systems Conference April 30 - June 4, 1989, Austin, Texas. pp. 139-144.

“The Application Display Generator (ADG) is a graphical environment for the design and implementation of embedded system user interfaces. It is a major component of the Graphical Specification Subsystem (GSS) in Lockheed's Express knowledge-based software development environment. ADG gives non-programmers simple and flexible methods for graphically specifying the presentation and behavior of embedded system user interfaces. In the ADG methodology arbitrary presentations are attached to abstract object behaviors. This approach makes it possible to provide unconstrained presentations, intelligent user support, rapid prototyping, and flexible facilities for composing complex objects.”

“ Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context. ”
