Abstract

R&D efforts in the area of e-Science aim at building an infrastructure that supports researchers' work processes in a flexible way relying on Grid-based, on-demand resource assignment. We believe, that within the developing e-Science environments an improved awareness of researchers for their scientific context as well as a more flexible support for the interaction of the researcher with this context is desirable. This paper discusses approaches for context exploitation in support of an increased awareness for the scientific context as well as approaches for more active context construction by the researcher for specific research projects.
