Abstract :
A cooperative system architecture is proposed for systemization of scheduling work, taking account of the desirable relationship between an expert and a computer. The architecture emphasizes the significance of a system structure in which decision-making and trial operation can be easily performed by the expert and the system can simulate the expert´s intentions. Since an expert expresses his intentions mainly by mouse operations, using only a narrow bandwidth of communication from a human to a computer, the authors propose that domain knowledge should be used to grasp the expert´s intentions. The load-balancing problem is analyzed and an example is given that shows such a problem is cooperatively solved by the InterBALANCE system
