Abstract
The goal of CALO (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes) is to design an automated personal assistant to support a busy high-level knowledge worker. Operating in an inherently dynamic and uncertain domain, CALO relies on constraint technology in several components of its architecture. We outline the challenges and opportunities presented by constraint solving in the presence of change and uncertainty, embodied in CALO’s personalized time management and task reasoning and execution systems.
