Task-completion Engines: A Vision with a Plan

This paper presents a vision and a plan for task-completion engines that support humans in solving complex, knowledge-intensive tasks, by providing an integrated environment that caters for all taskrelated activities. We propose three specific use-cases, describe the desired functionality from the users’ perspective, outline the main components of such a system, and discuss evaluation methodology. We conclude by formulating next steps needed for making this vision become a reality.
