Abstract

This paper describes a research proposal to investigate sense-making processes in complex situations with the assistance of information systems. It presents the design of a sense-making tool to be integrated with a news retrieval system. The proposed user study aims to understand how users use this tool to establish and organize their conceptual models of a network of concepts and relationships.
