Whereas the other articles in this section discuss human-computer etiquette in traditional social interac- tions involving the use of computers that explicitly strive to elicit a perception of "personhood" from the human participant, we focus on computers that occupy more traditional roles as complex and largely unpersoni- fied machines involved in high-criticality working relation- ships with humans—where the consequences of failure can be catastrophic in terms of lives, money, or both.
