The redocumentation process of computer mediated activity traces: A general framework

International audienceThe digital world enables the creation of personalized documents.In this paper we are interested in describing a computer mediatedactivity by a person throughout a semi-automatic redocumentationprocess. This process uses traces generated automatically, duringa user-system interaction, to assist a person in producing apersonalized document describing the traced activity. To supportthat, a general framework for an authoring tool is proposedthrough two main phases. During the first phase, an automatic andparameterized transformation is applied on the input activity traceto generate a fragmented document. Each fragment describes oneor many observed elements of the modeled trace and relationsbetween fragments are deduced from relations between theseelements. The second phase consists in interactive transformationson the intermediate produced document until getting the finalhypermedia document. Our authoring tool uses composition ofpersonalized document issues and RST principals to interpretuser's choices and to maintain the coherence of the produceddocument
