Human Ways in Diagnostic and Control Procedures

Applying heuristics is a feasible way of constructing effective expert systems for supervision. Fundamental and important parts of such an expert system are the ones for diagnosis of the system concerned and for reasoning for finding an approapriate control procedure required for recovery. Just because they usually give only suboptimal solutions, human skill and heuristics are likely not to be utilized in the real world. But incorporation of human ways is really effective in order not only to obtain feasible procedures but also to make communication smooth and valid at a man-computer interface, and here a consideration is made on this aspect.
