A Framework for Virtual Software Assistants in Collaborative Environments
Abstract
Due to the market competitiveness, enterprises need continuously to adapt to new technologies. Humans inserted in this scenario also need resources to fulfill their tasks and process in time, as well as to be agile and efficient. This paper presents a model of virtual software assistants to assist humans in some tasks, on collaborative environment scenario and ubiquitous computing environment, which can then make some activities automatically, without or with a low degree of human intervention or supervision.References
