Applying Interaction-based Problem Solving for Locating Deep Water Oil Wells and Offshore Platforms

Abstract

Several computational approaches have been applied to support problem solving on oil exploration activities in deep waters. While the focus of these works consists of finding effective methods that bring solutions to the problem, this article describes a new research perspective. It is based on the idea that the adoption of principles that improve the interaction between the user and the computational system can lead to a more efficient final result than the ones obtained by any of those entities (user or computational system) alone.
