Abstract
Context-mediated behavior (CMB) is an approach to giving intelligent agents the ability to recognize their context at all times and to behave appropriately for it. It is based on the idea that contexts—classes of situations—should be represented explicitly as first-class objects. These representations (contextual schemas) are then retrieved based on a diagnostic process of context assessment. Contextual schemas contain descriptive knowledge about the context, including predicted features and context-dependent meaning of concepts. They also include prescriptive features that tell the agent how to behave in the context. This approach has been implemented in several systems, including an intelligent controller for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and the author is now exploring distributing the process in multiagent systems.
