Projects using Object Oriented typically fall into one of two categories: either they are run with traditional project management techniques, or they are run by technology experts who don't use any project management techniques. This panel will attempt to give out some hints as to how to be more successful managing OO projects.Questions to be addressed include:• How is Object Oriented Project Management different? Is a paradigm shift required for project management?• What aspects of Object Oriented project management should be stressed? What are some tips, tricks or gotchas experienced by the panel members?• Does a project manager need to be more technical to lead an Object Oriented project? Should he/she have had previous experience with Object Oriented development?• What are some alternate organizational structures which would better support Object Oriented projects?• What is the nature of an Object Oriented life cycle and how is it different?• Is there a difference in techniques between different languages or between different domainsAudience members with relevant experience will be invited to sit on the panel in two guest seats.

The design, implementation, and evaluation of ALLY, a computer-based associate for the human supervisor of a simulated satellite ground control system, is described. ALLY's dynamic intent inferencing abilities and system control properties are described. Experimental evaluation of ALLY compared performance of a two-person team with a person-ALLY team in the control of a simulated satellite ground control system.>

The authors explore the key characteristics of an intelligent advisory system. A central feature is that human-machine cooperation should be based on a metaphor of human-to-human cooperation. ALLY, a computer-based operator's associate, is discussed which is based on a preliminary theory of human-to-human cooperation. ALLY assists the operator in carrying out the supervisory control functions for a simulated NASA ground control system. Experimental evaluation of ALLY indicates that operators using ALLY performed at least as well as they did when using a human associate, and in some cases they performed even better.>

This paper describes the use of Smalltalk in the design and implementation of OFMspert. OFMspert is an architecture for an intelligent operator's associate. In order to verify the architecture, an OFMspert was implemented to act as an assistant to an operator of a NASA satellite ground control system. OFMspert is a large system that utilizes a Smalltalk implementation of a knowledge-based problem solving method known as the blackboard architecture. The entire system was designed and implemented in Smalltalk/V™ and later ported to the Smalltalk-80™ system. The object-oriented paradigm in general, and Smalltalk‡ in particular, greatly facilitated the rapid design and implementation of this system. This paper summarizes the OFMspert architecture, emphasizing its implementation in an object-oriented paradigm.

The authors proposes an architecture for an expert system that can function as an operator's associate in the supervisory control of a complex dynamic system. Called OFMspert (operator function model (OFM) expert system), the architecture uses the operator function modeling methodology as the basis for the design. The authors put emphasis on the understanding capabilities, i.e. the intent referencing property, of an operator's associate. They define the generic structure of OFMspert, particularly those features that support intent inferencing. They also describe the implementation and validation of OFMspert in GT-MSOCC (Georgia Tech-Multisatellite Operations Control Center), a laboratory domain designed to support research in human-computer interaction and decision aiding in complex, dynamic systems.>
