EMBET: Towards User Assistance, Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing *

Abstract

Abstract. In this paper we describe a User Assistant for collaboration and knowledge sharing. Theory, implementation and use of such system are described. The key idea is that a user enters notes in a particular situation/context, which can be detected by the computer. Such notes are later displayed to other or the same users in a similar situation/context. The context of user is detected from computerized tasks performed by user. The system is based on EMBET architecture (Experience Management based on Text Notes). Other systems in application environment can also provide context sensitive notes to be displayed for the user. Thus users can collaborate and fill up application specific knowledge base with useful knowledge, shown to users in the right time.
