@INPROCEEDINGS{AICPub1233:2005, AUTHOR={Andres Rodriguez, Thomas Boyce, John Lowrance, Eric Yeh}, TITLE={Angler: Collaboratively Expanding your Cognitive Horizon}, BOOKTITLE={International Conference on Intelligence Analysis}, YEAR={2005}, ABSTRACT={Angler is a tool to help analysts explore, under-stand, and overcome biases that result from pre-vious experiences and background, and to col-laborate in expanding their joint cognitive vi-sion. Angler utilizes divergent and convergent techniques, such as brainstorming and clustering or voting, to guide a diverse set of intelligence professionals in completing a complex knowl-edge task. The tool helps the group through the process of forming consensus, while preserving and quantifying differing ways of thinking. An-gler provides a Web-based collaborative envi-ronment that allows users distributed by both time and geography to assemble in teams, with the help of a facilitator.} }
