Explanation-Aware Design of Mobile myCBR-Based Applications

Our paper focuses on extending the explanation capabilities of the myCBR SDK as well as on the optimisation of the myCBR SDK in the context of android-based mobile application development. We examined the available knowledge for explanation generation within context-aware CBR systems. The need for the integration of new explanation capabilities was demonstrated by an Android-based contextand explanation-aware recommender application. Upon the experience gathered during implementation of the prototype a process for the integration of explanation capabilities into the myCBR SDK was introduced. Additionally, constraints and requirements for the integration of explanation capabilities into myCBR were introduced. Within this process we distinguished domain dependent and domain independent knowledge. We did this with regard to the different requirements for the integration of explanation capabilities into myCBR for the two types of knowledge.
