Abstract

This paper was presented at the Fourth Symposium for Systems Under Development for Vocational Guidance, American Institute for Research, in Palo Alto, California on March 8-9, 1968. It focuses on two areas in the design of automated guidance systems with a common question: How much should be automated and how much should be left to a human? The author suggests that complexity and expense are very real factors that ought to be weighted rather heavily in considering alternatives, particularly since automated guidance systems are at an early stage of development.
