Ambient systems that explain their actions promote the user’s understanding as they give the user more insight in the effects of their behavior on the environment. In order to provide individualized intelligent explanations, we need not only to evaluate a user’s observable behavior, but we also need to make sense of the underlying beliefs, intentions and strategies. In this paper we argue for the need of intelligent explanations, identify the requirements of such explanations, propose a method to achieve generation of intelligent explanations, and report on a prototype in the training of naval situation assessment and decision making. We discuss the implications of intelligent explanations in training and set the agenda for future research.
