Summary: Intelligent assistant systems information is becoming the raw material of modern society. Access to information spaces and the capability to use them effectively and efficiently has become a key economical success factor. This book contributes to the development of particular kinds of software and intelligent assistant systems, highlighting preliminary answers to the question, "what is assistance?" This book demonstrates that assistant systems will become reality, as the technology for implementing these systems is available and the problems that require assistance for their solutions are soon to be discovered. This book addresses intelligent assistant systems and issues, their scope, purpose, architecture, implementation, deployment, theoretical background, and use.
