Tactical Reasoning Through Context-Based Reasoning

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter describes and discusses Context-Based Reasoning (CxBR), a human behavior representation paradigm based on context and designed for use in modeling tactical reasoning. This chapter describes CxBR both formally and informally, and discusses experiences in developing and applying this concept, its advantages and its opportunities for improvement.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A mission need not be military in nature. I refer to mission as the process of an agent seeking to achieve a simple or complex objective. I think it has a more appropriate connotation than task.

  2. 2.

    We do not use the term activate a Minor Context to avoid confusion with the Major Context. We assume that the Major Context that calls the Sub-Context remains active.
