Collaborative assistant to handle mathML expressions

Abstract

The lack of an assistance support may result in disturbance of coauthors by beginners who ask for help when they are in trouble to produce or reuse shared resources. Additionally, collaborators may not be sure if their respective production is consistent with the collaborative common contribution. We tackle this issue by developing a group awareness knowledge based system that takes the responsibility to automatically evaluate and reuse mathematical formulae, and deduces which participant is a possible expert to help others. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
