This document focuses on explanations for task-oriented processing within the CALO system and describes a set of types of questions and answers. We include a set of general categories of task-oriented questions and answers.The questions and answers are instance of more general patterns which are also described. In order to provide concrete examples, we introduce a demo scenario concerned with laptop purchasing. Our specific example questions and answers utilize this scenario. We also include alternative answers so that we can describe a spectrum of answers and our approaches to providing these answers. We present an architecture for task-oriented explanation generation within CALO. Next we describe our strategy for interacting with the SPARK system in order to obtain the required information.Finally, we provide a view of task execution as inference. techreport KSL-05-11 KSL-05-11 Plan for Explaining Task Execution in CALO KSL-05-11 2005 Year Tr id Title Computer science Tag Media:KSL-05-11.pdf Paper Number Key Knowledge Systems, AI Laboratory, Stanford University Institution Bibtype Michael Wolverton Paulo Pinheiro da Silva Deborah L.
