Project STEAMER: 1. Taxonomy for Generating Explanations of how to Operate Complex Physical Devices

Abstract

The main objective of the STEAMER effort is to develop and evaluate advanced knowledge-based techniques for use in low-cost portable training systems. The project is focused on propulsion engineering as a domain in which to investigate these computer-based training techniques. This report, the first in a series on the STEAMER project, describes an initial framework for the development of techniques to automatically generate explanations of the operation of physical devices like those found in propulsion plants. Keywords: Computer aided instruction; Marine engines; Marine propulsion; Intelligent computer-assisted instruction; Artificial intelligence; Computer graphics.
