Abstract

This paper aims to present our generic model for user assistance. The approach we propose allows a designer to describe the assistance requested for an application using a common formalism; this description is then used by a generic assistant. A set of epiphyte assistants is then involved to perform assistance actions specified in the assistance description made by the designer.
