Abstract
The importance of context in reasoning about the world has been recognized by many researchers over the last several years. Its subsequent incorporation in models of human intelligent decision-making and behavior has facilitated the modeling problem manyfold. The co-editors hope that this volume will serve as the definitive guide to researchers and practitioners in this very important subject. This contributed volume contains a selection of the most current and advanced research on using context in modeling the real world in computers and computer systems. This chapter introduces the volume and provides the setting for the various chapters therein.
