Discusses causes of error in real-world problem-solving tasks by considering errors as failures of reasoning and by focusing on human experts as a source of insight into the basis for reasoning errors. A theory of expertise for diagnostic tasks based on the hypothetico-deductive method of...

The aim of the project was to evaluate the novel use of portable expert systems for improved fault detection, diagnosis and maintenance of rolling mills. This report presents the full results of the project where they are available. Thus, completed systems are described for three main activity...

The project aimed at optimising sputtering conditions for the reliable GDOES in-depth composition profiling of poorly conductive coatings. Both DC and RF techniques could be employed, although the more classical DC excitation and subsequent analysis quantification based on the Bengtson algorithm...
