On An Experience For Human-computer Interaction: A Relational Environment

The state-of-the-art in the field of Expert Systems (ES) focuses up till now two outlooks. On the one hand, a great deal of applications have been put into practice in recent years but they sometimes lackboth effective- ness and/or efficiency. However, they are quite promi- sing Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs. On the other hand, several attempts have begun to look for conventio nal conceptual modellings to set up appropriate forma lisms for ES. They are assumed to be deduced from a better comprenhention of ES intrinsic knowledge. This paper deals with some of the features that tipify an ES application to help chemistry research in a laboratory. In fact, the human-machine communication is emphasized, instead of paying attention to the overall ES structure. Interactivity is its most outstanding characteristic. Also, it is noticed the need of psychological support to solve some topics while implementing such interaction process.
