Temporal control structures in expert critiquing systems

Critiquing in time critical and resource constrained domains requires special control structures that allow the expert critiquing system to compare user actions with that of its own. This is necessitated by the fact that the priorities of actions in such domains change over time and the system needs to be robust enough to reflect this in its critiques. This paper describes a model of expert critiquing where the use of blackboard architectures, temporal control structures and data manipulation and differential critiquing are effectively combined to tackle this issue. The proof-of-principal critiquing domain is novice experts training in the area of Ship Damage Control
