Computer Aided Problem Solving

The integration of computers into human problem-solving processes offers significant enhancements through various tools and methodologies. Concept mapping and mind mapping software like Inspiration, FreeMind, and MindManager provide structured ways to visualize and organize thoughts, which can streamline the problem-solving process.

General remarks on problem solving

Basic questions
What is the role of domain-specific knowledge...

... as opposed to more general heuristic knowledge?

What software is best suited to help in problem solving?
Which tools can help to overcome these difficulties in problem solving?
What are the differences between several problem solving styles?
What are the most relevant difficulties in problem solving...

... with respect toproblem solving in groups?

... with respect tothe individual?

Miscellaneous ideas

some science fiction (sorry)
electric stimulation of brain processes
neurochemistry

influencing levels

monitoring levels of different neurochemicals

basic idea

use cybernetic mechanisms to influence these parameters

measure parameters relevant to problem solving brain activity

electric mechanisms

chemical mechanisms

avatars
as counsellors
problem solving dialogue with avatars

cf. Weizenbaums classic "Eliza" approach

suggesting help
the idea of a "canvas"
some ideas

layout of the canvas

use a canvas tiled in several smaller boxes

use classic mind map structure

number of canvases

use several canvases...

one for each collaborator

arguably, one collaborative canvas is better

one for each major approach to a problem

one for your work on the problem

one for problem solving tools

size of the canvas

unlimited size

What is the basic idea?

imagine a large sheet of paper - or its electronic equivalents

a canvas is your work area for problem solving

Basic ideas

Use problem solving tools
How to present toolsfor problem solving?

in your working map

via menu entries

using icons

visual representations for common problem solving difficulties

in a pop-up window

as "pop-up branches"

on paper

on a separate screen

use laptop screen + extra monitor

in a separate "tool map"

"Mentor Mapping"

How to use problem solving tools?

Basic question:In which situation helps which tool?

connect situations and tools

how?

in a conventional list

using a database

in a tool map

Finding suitable tools

Finding suitable set of situations

e.g.

set 2: problem solving difficulties

not knowing how to decide

not knowing what to do with an obstacle

not knowing how to start

set 1: problem solving stages

control

action

planning

orientation

What are problem solving tools?

examples

+ many more

mycoted.com

common sense

talk to an expert

take a break

sleep over it

analysis tools

use diagrams for analysis

asking questions

creativity tools

analogy techniques

synectics

force fit

brainstorming

heuristic procedures

ABCDE model

E = evaluate

D = do it

C = consequences - what happens if we take this action?

B = brainstorming for solutions

A = assessment (of the problem)

IDEAL model

L = look back and learn

A = assess and act

E = explore strategies

D = define goals

I = identify problem

Pragmatic definition:Every procedure that may help in problem solving

How to represent ideas?
additional ideas

auditive representation

arguably much less powerful than visual representation

because...

it's more difficult to link ideas

it's more difficult to get an overview

it's slower

You can represent ideas using...

hybrid forms

e.g. combine things

tables containing maps

tables in maps

tables

linear notes

mapping

mind mapping

concept mapping
