Notes

Fleming & Cohen (1999)

Problems with current agent technology:

Some situations give rise to ambiguity of action selection

Lack of communication with user regarding automation can lead to mistrust

May be slow if action library is large

2nd generation of algorithm incorporates:

Better explanation of agent reasoning with user when conflicts arise

Confirmation before rule execution (approve/reject/edit)

In ambiguous situations, a clarification factor determines further dialogue with user
(User sets his/her tolerance level)
