130688 -
130689 -     Automating collaborative tasks
130690 -
130691 -     The collaboration subsystem uses the automation subsystem,
130692 -     together with Bayesian techniques for analysis and knowledge-based
130693 -     techniques for process management, to act as a coordinator and
130694 -     mediate interactions among members of a collaborative team.  It
130695 -     knows the interests, organizational roles, and skills of all team
130696 -     members, and it understands the application domain within which
130697 -     the team functions.  For example, it tracks action items within
130698 -     the group and dependencies with other groups, retrieving relevant
130699 -     information and bringing it to the attention of the most
130700 -     appropriate individuals.  The collaboration system plays the role
130701 -     of an active participant, noticing tasks that need to be
130702 -     undertaken, noticing when information required for those tasks has
130703 -     been developed, and making conclusions when appropriate.

130794 -
130795 -     Thanks for the diagram showing a cognition cycle in your letter
130796 -     last night. ref SDS 0 SY4F
130797 -
130798 -     I agree with the cycle of cognition that produces "knowledge"
130799 -     dynamically, shown as a diagram of plan, decide, act, learn and
130800 -     observe.  Deming described "plan, do, study, act."  I boil it down
130801 -     to plan, perform report. ref SDS 0 GZ6F
130802 -
130803 - Note that.....
130804 -
130805 -     Implementing good practice of plan, perform, report is difficult
130806 -     to accomplish consistently in the real world, which is why
130807 -     technology can help.
130808 -
130809 -     The MIT project referenced yesterday pointed out that
130810 -     collaboration, which is a cognitive function within the meaning of
130811 -     the diagram you submit today, requires determining action items,
130812 -     making assignments by using Bayesian techniques for analysis and
130813 -     knowledge-based techniques for process management, and to act as a
130814 -     coordinator and mediate interactions among members of a team. Last
130815 -     night we asked one of the contributors for progress at MIT on
130816 -     accomplishing their important objectives. ref SDS 0 R19L
130817 -
130818 -     After we get the report from MIT and see work product, we can
130819 -     assess whether there is another way to support the cognitive
130820 -     cycle.
130821 -
130822 -     In the meantime, how does the Cognitive Radio support the
130823 -     cognitive cycle?  Does it provide the "sensory interface" in the
130824 -     listing for a "Hierarchy of Reinforced Sequences" shown in the
130825 -     diagram for "Dynamic Knowledge"?  How does that role up to an
130826 -     action item, or a report on work perofrmed that feeds the planning
130827 -     process for coordinating and mediating interaction among team
130828 -     members, etc? Mediation, for example, is a real "bucket of snakes"
130829 -     when it comes to resolving human conflicts, which is cited by
130830 -     MIT's Oxygen project. ref SDS 0 R19L

180648 -     LLNL and briefly at Stanford by Neil Scott, as a speech
180649 -     recognition collaborator, was terminated due to UC
180650 -     Regents/Stanford and their attorneys' concerns over IP rights.
180651 -     However, the original inventor (Tom McEwan, Founder of
180652 -     GetRadar.com) is now independent and I'm sure he could easily
180653 -     invent a new evolution of it for the purposes of capturing for the
180654 -     record collaborative discussions.

180663 -     Sounds like in your other letter, that Neil Scott no longer has
180664 -     the speech recognition capability available.  Is this a correct
180665 -     understanding? You seemed to indicate that the original inventor
180666 -     could create the technology again, but isn't there some of it
180667 -     still around that we could investigate?  This would be very
180668 -     helpful to have.
