ABSTRACT
This paper describes a system being developed to bridge the gap between an application program and a user inexperienced in the ways of computers. The user explores the characteristics of the available programs by a natural language dialogue with the system. The dialogue is supported by a knowledge base covering both the program semantics and the application domain. This paper addresses the problems of representation and inference involved in this approach and describes our solution for them.

Human computer interaction: an operational definition
This paper poses an operational definition for the term Human-Computer Interaction and distinguishes it from the term User Interface. Human-Computer Interaction includes several separate communication paths between the human and the computer's natural ...
On the definition of definition
An attempt is undertaken to define the word "definition." The correlation of concepts, such as definition, term, discourse, and frame is discussed and a systematic definition of the term "definition" is given.
