Current developments focus on simulation inter-operability.
The simulation and debriefing is intended to develop strategic and contingency planning skills. A prototype was implemented for UNIX-mail with active and passive help components, the former requiring system interventions, the latter explanations in response to users' questions. A general conclusion was that since the Help-giving Systems require detailed knowledge of the IPS, such Help Systems should be an integral part of the IPS itself. How such designs should be represented and formalised, and what advantages this brings to help-giving, are the principal aims of this research. This project, supported by the Regional Health Authority, has taken the context of post-operative medical care following major surgery, and is a collaboration with teams of surgeons from St James's University Hospital.
