Accommodating context change
Bonnie Webber, Breck Baldwin · 1992
Two independent mechanisms of context change have been discussed separately in the literaturecontext change by entity introduction and context change by event simulation.Here we discuss their integration.The effectiveness of the integration depends in part on a representation of events that captures people's uncertainty about their outcome -in particular, people's incomplete expectations about the changes effected by events.We propose such a representation and a process of accommodation that makes use of it, and discuss our initial implementation of these ideas.
