In this study, we present a computational approach to support content creation by recording and reusing the conversational contents as reusable nuggets. We introduce the concept of the conversation quantization a technique for approximating a continuous flow of conversation by a series of conversation quanta that correspond to the points in a discourse.

Most of these applications only need limited but flexible reflective capabilities rather than sophisticated reflective languages and reflective runtime systems. However, there is no...
