We have developed an interactive production system architecture to construct the simulator. Two production systems interactively find targets in which the only experimental results are shared; each does not know the hypothesis the other system has. Through this kind of interaction, we verify whether or not the performance of two systems interactively finding targets exceeds that of two systems independently finding targets. If we confirm the superiority of collaborative discovery, we approve of emergence by the interaction. The results are: (1) generally speaking collaboration does not produces the emergence defined above, and (2) as the different degree of hypothesis testing strategies that the two system use gets larger, the benefits of interaction gradually increases.}, pages = {2088--2097}, title = {A Study of Collaborative Discovery Processes Using a Cognitive Simulator}, volume = {E83-D}, year = {2000} }
