Abstract

We present e-Workbench, a prototype intelligent system, which uses a semi-automated approach for acquiring knowledge to support decision making in collaborative e-Work. Our focus is to enable an e-Work environment to acquire knowledge of the domain of work in order to augment workers’ capabilities by proactively providing strategic level cognition support in the form of intelligent explanations and expert-level justifications to assist in selecting the best problem solving strategy and facilitating collaborative decision making.
