Operational Decision Support: Context-Based Approach and Technological Framework

  • Conference paper
Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT 2005)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3554))

Abstract

The paper presents a context-based approach to operational decision support. The approach focuses on modelling and solving a problem considering changes in the dynamic environment. The problem is modelled by abstract and operational contexts integrating information provided by information sources and domain knowledge. The approach involves ontology management operations for knowledge integration, context management techniques for information organisation, and object-oriented constraint network mechanisms for problem definition and solving. The approach is tested as an adaptive service for on-the-fly portable hospital configuration.
