Professor Turner and SCIS have Impressive Showing at CONTEXT 2015
Recently, Professor Roy Turner presented three papers at CONTEXT’15 (International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context) conference in Larnaca, Cyprus, which was held on November 2-6. In addition to the papers that were presented, Professor Turner also chaired a panel at the conference.
The first paper was entitled ” Modeling erroneous human behavior: A context-driven approach,” and was done in collaboration with PhD candidate Chris Wilson. In this paper, they presented a context-driven approach to modeling plausible human behavior and a framework for modeling erroneous behavior which focuses on impairing an agent’s ability to recognize and deal effectively with anticipated contextual changes.
The second paper was entitled ” Representing and communicating context in multiagent systems” and was done in collaboration with MS candidate Sonia Rode. In this paper they propose a new, related representation of contextual knowledge using description logic and a shared ontology, and present a technique for communicating contextual knowledge while respecting bandwidth limitations.
The final paper that was presented was entitled “Using contextual knowledge for trust strategy selection,” and was done in collaboration with Larry Whitsel of the University of Maine at Augusta. In this paper, they present an implemented approach that explicitly represents the agent’s context, informed by known contexts, and that uses that contextual knowledge to select the best strategy, even in the presence of untrustworthy agents.
