Call Deadline: 11-Nov-2007
Using common sense knowledge and related semantic information to further
understand the processing of goals, contexts and stories.
When interacting with user interfaces, users have to bridge the gap between
their goals expressed in mental terms and the interface's structures and
functions expressed in physical terms. This gap has been characterized as the
''Gulf of Execution'', and it may imply significant cognitive processing on the
users' side in order for them to successfully accomplish their goals.
If user interfaces could understand, at a high-level, our goals, our problems,
and our social procedures, users could have cognitively accessible, dynamic
interfaces accommodating their unique needs, beyond the range of applications
anticipated by the designers.
For computers to realize such a goal-oriented paradigm,
- They must have access to information about the world that human users take for
granted. This information, which forms the basis for goal-directed computer
interactions, is common sense knowledge.
- They must provide for algorithms and techniques that are capable of acquiring
and structuring knowledge about user goals.
- They must have adequate means to represent knowledge about user goals in a way
that allows for reasoning and inference about them.
- They must provide for user interfaces that effectively map users' goals on the
computer's functionalities and structures.
This workshop has the goal of bringing together researchers from different
domains that share an interest in common sense knowledge and goal-oriented
knowledge representations in the context of intelligent user interfaces.
