%0 Conference Proceedings %A Andres Rodriguez, Thomas Boyce, John Lowrance, Eric Yeh %T Angler: Collaboratively Expanding your Cognitive Horizon %B International Conference on Intelligence Analysis %D 2005 %X 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. %U http://www.ai.sri.com/pubs/files/1233.pdf
