User-Tailored Plan Presentation

This paper discusses plan presentation, the second phase in user-tailored advice giving. Its main task is to determine what knowledge must be provided to ascertain that the user comprehends the plan and is able to perform it, even if he detects unexpected obstacles. Plan presentation is guided by a model of the user's knowledge and of his capabilities to perform actions in the domain. Finally we describe how to bias the plan generation process to prefer plans that contain as little information unfamiliar to the user as possible.
