Abstract

The full benefit of computers as tools of thought can come only when we learn to divide intelligence into a portion which is best suited to the human being and a portion which is best suited to the computer and then find a way to combine the process. The limiting resource in future human-computer systems will be the human (with respect to time, attention, complexity management) and not the computer. There is a need for symbiotic, knowledge-based computer support systems which will make communication with computers easier, more rewarding and turn the computer into a convivial tool. Theories, methodologies and tools are neded to make systems of this sort broadly available. In our research project INFORM we are designing, implementing and evaluating a knowledge-based information manipulation system (IMS) as a prototypical development.
