Abstract

Describing context for using it within a research and development process is an ambitious task. Different people with different background knowledge, goals, and thus aspects on context are participating in such a process and require context information for different purposes. In this paper we address this issue by defining a structural description model where we regard factors relevant to the different participants and thus perspectives of such a process. The proposed model is based on context models existing in the literature and current ways of using context in the areas of software engineering and human computer interaction.
