Context-Based Explanations for E-Collaboration
Patrick Brézillon · IGI Global eBooks · 2008
With new findings about context available now, a new insight is possible on past problems abandoned previously by lack of a relevant solution at that time, like incremental knowledge acquisition, practice learning and explanation generation. Previously, they were considered as distinct problems. Now their integration in the task at hand of the user offers new options, especially for e-collaboration. Hereafter, the article is organized in the following way. First, we comment briefly previous works on explanations in order to point out what is reusable. Second, we discuss explanation generation potentialities in a context-based formalism called contextual graphs. Finally, we show what explanations can bring in e-collaboration, maybe more than in face-to-face collaboration.
