KNOWLEDGE-BASED PATTERN-SUPPORTED MAN-MACHINE INTERACTION

Knowledge base being a key issue in man-machine interfacing, is much more pattern-like in the human brain's representation than the logic of rule-based systems. Basic problems of pattern representation, quantification, metric and decision methods are discussed, having an experience on several problems, one of them a decade's work of a sophisticated human brain-oriented medical expertise. Some relevant hypotheses are formed, supporting the practical applicability of patterns combined with logic in complex man-machine systems.
