Abstract

The use of computers to mediate social interactions (e.g. blogs, chatting, facebook, second life) creates the possibility of providing software to support social awareness in a range of ways. In this paper we focus on monitoring expectations and consider how a user who is not a programmer or logician might specify expectations to be monitored. We propose a novel approach where the user provides a collection of scenarios, and then candidate formulae are induced from the scenarios. The approach is applied to examples and appears to be promising.
