Abstract
We describe method for intent inference in collaborative systems, and an application that makes use of intent inference to facilitate coordination. Our approach to intent inference is unique in that we derive intent by piggybacking on coordination specific communication that occurs in collaboration. We have developed an interface component that uses the output of our inference engine to support users’ awareness of eachother’s activities and offload some of the individual user’s work.
