The
importance of context is now largely acknowledged in a number
of areas of AI (e.g., decision making, diagnosis, pattern recognition,
learning, acquisition, explanation, database, etc.) as well
as in a large spectrum of domains where AI applied (e.g. Air
traffic, Medicine, Road safety, Ubiquitous computing, HCI, Networks,
Image treatment, Army, etc.). However, Is context a buzzword?
Is context a cosmetic way to hide our ignorance for representing
knowledge and reasoning? Is context a patch on our knowledge
and reasoning representations? Is context a tool for handling
knowledge and reasoning? Is context a part of the problems to
represent? Moreover, context has a dynamic nature that is difficult
to catch.
