Abstract

Computing will be soon be ubiquitous, forcing the human-centered-computing paradigm to focus on the notion of context. Humans and computers don't function in isolation. We must jointly consider the human, the computer, the task at hand, and the context in which it occurs. The author discusses the importance of explicit, dynamic context in human-centered intelligent systems and how he and his colleagues implemented a context-based formalism called contextual graphs.

Context in the Collaborative Building of an Answer to a Question
Proceedings of the 2008 conference on Collaborative Decision Making: Perspectives and Challenges

We describe how contextual graphs allow the analysis of oral corpus from person-to-person collaboration. The goal was to build a task model that would be closer to the effective task(s) than the prescribed task. Such a “contextualized prescribed task” ...
Context-Based Development of Experience Bases
CONTEXT 2013: Proceedings of the 8th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context - Volume 8175

The experience of experts relies on the process of decision-making jointly with the progressive elaboration of a context-specific model. However, context modeling generally stays implicit because only the result of the decision-making process matters. ...

CONTEXT'03: Proceedings of the 4th international and interdisciplinary conference on Modeling and using context

This paper discusses the dynamic of context through the use of a context-based formalism called contextual graphs that has been initially developed in the SART application for the development of a support system in incident solving on a subway line. ...
