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.
