Davenport, Colin and Weir, George R. S. (1986): Plan Recognition for Intelligent Advice and Monitoring. In: Harrison, Michael D. and Monk, Andrew (eds.) Proceedings of the Second Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers II August 23-26, 1986, University of York, UK. pp. 296-315.

In contrast to the conventional interface approach to command languages, we offer a plan-based system (PRIAM) which acts on a structured representation of the language, to provide intelligent monitoring and advice to users. We detail an experiment to assess the relative performance of a PRIAM-based interface and a more conventional interface design. Our results suggest that the PRIAM alternative offers considerable learning advantages for new users. The operations of the full PRIAM system are described and its potential benefits noted.
