I would like to introduce myself to the list readers.  I am Bill Keely from
Hagerstown, MD.  My day job is the Technical Director for the Security
Directorate of Defense Information Systems Agency Western Hemisphere (DISA
WESTHEM).

The rest of the time I am a Ph.D. student at University of Maryland at
Baltimore County
(UMBC).  My research area is the impact of an incorrectly calibrated user
confidence level on successfully using the non-determinitic
output/recommendations of an information system.  IDSs are a good platform
for investigating this, due to their usual low probability, but high-risk
environment.  Some of the factors I am considering including in my
experimentation are the depth of user's knowledge of the information sources
and the level of understanding of the IDS processing factors.

The driving idea behind this research is that even the most robust system
will not be used if the user has lost confidence in it after a few
false-positives.

Glad to be on the list, Bill
