Learning about the boundary of the environment being scanned2.4.3. An automated technique to help change an organization's peripheral vision; 2.5. Conclusion; CHAPTER 3. PROPOSED SYSTEMS: RESULTS OF INFORMATIONSYSTEM PROTOTYPING RESEARCH CONDUCTED AT THECNRS-CERAG LAB (FRANCE); 3.1. TARGETBUILDER, an aid to targeting scanning priorities; 3.1.1. Usefulness; 3.1.2.
