“…Our proposal is based on [26], who adopted the definition of context proposed by [4] and distinguished between the concepts of contextual element and context: (i) a contextual element is any piece of data or information that allows an entity to be characterized within a domain; and (ii) context is the set of instantiated contextual elements that are needed to support a task performed by an agent (human or software). Additionally, the elements that compose context have a relevant relationship with the task that an agent is performing.…”

“…YAWL is a widely used PAIS on Academia and is implemented in a service-oriented way that already offer interfaces for developers to implement external services that communicate with the YAWL workflow engine. YAWL 3 is a PAIS that supports the workflow language also named YAWL (Yet Another Workflow Language) based on workflow patterns 4 . It supports dynamic process adaptation through the so-called worklets.…”

ABSTRACT. Business Process Management (BPM) is the art and science of monitoring how the work is performed within an organization to ensure consistent results and opportunities for improvement. One important research topic on BPM relates to the issue of flexibility. Unplanned conditions may occur at any time during process execution. In dynamic environments, changes must be performed more frequently and systematically and considering not only pre-established rules, but also contextual information. The literature indicates context as a source of information that should be considered in the modeling of business processes in order to contribute to their flexibility when in the execution phase. In this paper, we present the results from our studies about context in the whole cycle of BPM. The goal is to describe an approach that comprises solutions for modeling, gathering, using and evolving context in a BPM oriented environment.

“…At the end of that decade, the CONTEXT conference was started to gather researchers from diverse fields with the common binding interest in understating, modelling and exploiting CI. The reader is referred to Brézillon's survey [6] for an account of early works in many diverse fields and to [7] for a dedicated survey on works in AI.…”

Context-based Information Fusion: A survey and discussion

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This survey aims to provide a comprehensive status of recent and current research on context-based Information Fusion (IF) systems, tracing back the roots of the original thinking behind the development of the concept of ''context''. It shows how its fortune in the distributed computing world eventually per-meated in the world of IF, discussing the current strategies and techniques, and hinting possible future trends. IF processes can represent context at different levels (structural and physical constraints of the scenario, a priori known operational rules between entities and environment, dynamic relationships modelled to interpret the system output, etc.). In addition to the survey, several novel context exploita-tion dynamics and architectural aspects peculiar to the fusion domain are presented and discussed.
