دانلود کتاب مدل سازی و استفاده از زمینه در عمل

This book has its origin in the CONTEXT series of biennial interdisciplinary and international conferences on modeling and using context, which began in 1997. Over the past 25 years or so, there has been a clear evolution in the interests of the community for modeling and using context, from formal aspects (e.g. natural language processing and logic) to pragmatic approaches, in large part due to the dynamic development of information and communication technology over that time. The consequence is a change from top-down to bottom-up research where “real” problems need rapid pragmatic solutions that are validated and justified by the results, even without a well-established theory. This book aims to provide evidence for the success of pragmatic approaches, which in any case are different but still related to formal approaches. We have selected 10 relevant contributions across a very large spectrum of domains, from technological domains (e.g. subways) to more fuzzy domains (e.g. emotions). The first three chapters lay the foundations for pragmatic approaches, and the following chapters for applications.
