DESCRIPTION:Problem solving is increasingly performed by people using comp
 uter\nsoftware. Such programs include everything from office productivity\
 ntools to specialized workflow managers. However\, a new genre of tools\nt
 hat support teams of people in the solving process is emerging. While\nthe
  need for solving complex problems increases\, the opportunities\nafforded
  by the Internet and advances in artificial intelligence and\nhuman-comput
 er interaction make it timely to develop such new tools.\nThis lecture int
 roduces the topic and presents a prototype system\ncalled CoSolve. This sy
 stem is based on the classical theory of\nproblem solving\, which is brief
 ly reviewed in the lecture. Finally\, an\noverview of the related research
  issues is given.  These issues\ninclude\nsupport for problem formulation\
 , visualizing problem spaces\, adapting\nproblem-solving technologies for 
 design\, collaboration and\ncrowdsourcing in problem solving\, and designi
 ng agents to support\ncollaborative problem solving.\n
