Hi Simon,  

Michael Eraut and I wrote about these issues in a medical context.  Our

There have been a few posts on debugging, but my recollection is that there was 
a post a few years ago about  a conference on diagnostics, but I cannot find

Jens Rasmussen's Cognitive Systems Engineering [1] was build from
analyses of maintenance engineers trouble-shooting their systems.

I am looking for recommendations for books, articles, or studies that talk 
about problem solving in the context of doing diagnostics in different fields. 
There have been a few posts on debugging, but my recollection is that there was 
a post a few years ago about  a conference on diagnostics, but I cannot find 
the post in the archive and don't know if the conference happened. 

thanks,

Simon Gray
