Context-Mediated Behavior: An Approach to Explicitly Representing Contexts and Contextual Knowledge for AI Applications

Contents

Explicit representation of context and contextual knowledge is critical to AI applications. In this paper, we discuss conclusions drawn from several years of work on representing and using contextual knowledge. We describe our approach to context-sensitive reasoning, called context-mediated behavior (CMB), and discuss our experience related to reasoning in context in AI applications and our ongoing and future work in the area.
