This book describes a method for building real-world problem solving systems such as medical diagnostic procedures and intelligent controllers for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and other robots. The approach taken is different from other work reported in the artificial intelligence literature in several respects: * It defines schema-based reasoning, in which schemas -- explicitly declared packets of related knowledge -- are used to control not only the reasoner's planning, but also all other facets of its behavior. * It is a kind of reactive reasoning that the author calls adaptive problem solving -- the reasoner maintains commitments to future goals but is able to change its focus of attention as the problem-solving situation requires. * It is a context-sensitive reasoning method. Every decision it makes relies on the use of contextual knowledge to be appropriate for the current problem-solving situation. Furthermore, context is represented explicitly; by always keeping a current representation of the context in mind, the reasoner's behavior is automatically sensitive to the context with very little work needed per decision. * Schema-based reasoning -- a generalization of case-based reasoning -- extends the usual idea of case-based reasoning to encompass all aspects of the reasoner's behavior, and it extends it to make use of generalized "cases" (i.e., schemas) rather than particular cases, thus saving effort needed to transfer knowledge from an old case to a new situation. Though the work originated in the domain of medical diagnostic problem solving, treating diagnosis as a planning task, it is even more appropriate for controlling autonomous systems. The author is currently extending the approach by creating a robust controller for long-range autonomous underwater vehicles that will be used to carry out ocean science missions.

Context is of crucial importance for research and applications in many disciplines, as evidenced by many workshops, symposia, seminars, and conferences on specific aspects of context. The International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT), the oldest conference series focusing on context, provides a unique interdisciplinary emphasis, bringing together participants from a wide range of disciplines, including artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, linguistics, organizational science, philosophy, psychology, ubiquitous computing, and application areas such as medicine and law, to discuss and report on context-related research and projects. Previous CONTEXT conferences were held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (1997), Trento, Italy (1999, LNCS 1688), Dundee, UK (2001, LNCS 2116), and Palo Alto, USA (2003, LNCS 2680). CONTEXT 2005 was held in Paris, France during July 5-8, 2005. There was a strong response to the CONTEXT 2005 Call for Papers, with 120 submissions received. A careful review process assessed all submissions, with each paper first reviewed by the international Program Committee, and then reviewer discussions were initiated as needed to assure that the final decisions carefully considered all aspects of each paper. Reviews of submissions by the Program Chairs were supervised independently and anonymously, to assure fair consideration of all work. Out of the 120 submissions, 23 were selected as full papers for oral presentation, and 20 were selected as full papers for poster presentation. These outstanding papers are presented in this proceedings.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 10th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context, CONTEXT 2017, held in Paris, France, in June 2017. The 26 full papers and 15 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 88 submissions. The papers feature research in a wide range of disciplines related to issues of context and contextual knowledge and discuss commonalities across and differences between the disciplines' approaches to the study of context. They are organized in the following topical sections: context in representation; context modeling of human activities; context in communication; context awareness; and various specific topics.

Submissive 'Submissive', explores the largely hidden world of the submissive and masochistic female. The 20 selected interviews here were conducted over a 10-year period, by the BDSM magazine publisher and writer, Roy Turner and offer a full, frank and totally unique insight into the real world of the lifestyle submissive. It certainly isn't some E L James 'Fifty Shades of Grey' or Nancy Friday 'My Secret Garden', etc fantasy-fest, what it does show is that those stereotypes-if they exist at all, are just not at all representative of the experiences related here. Like her male counterpart, the submissive female comes in all types; she can quite often be a highly successful career woman in 'real' life that simply craves the occasional release from responsibility that comes through role-play, or a women who throws herself headlong into the lifestyle 100%. There was also a tendency to separate 'Husbands/Lovers' from 'Masters' and carry on a double-life either with or without their partner's knowledge or consent. But there is also a much darker side too that is not found so much in the male submissive; a truly dangerous area that some women willingly step into. These women certainly 'walk the talk'; whether it is extreme role-play, slave training, pony-girl, enforced servitude and prostitution, abduction or even kidnapping. Consequently, some of the experiences related here could be considered extremely shocking and genuinely disturbing. It's definitely not one for the faint-hearted For many interviewees, the need for domination had its roots, not surprisingly, in childhood. An authoritarian, even brutal, father-who went way beyond the occasional spanking, etc, started a trend, which they sought to recreate in future relationships. But other subjects found themselves instinctively drawn to it for reasons less explicable, certainly not out of diminished self-esteem or anything that obvious. In many of the stories told, the division between controlled and controller becomes blurred, in other words, the so-called submissive is actually directing the scenario. By far the most popular and powerful scenario for most women was the idea of being used by two or more men, total humiliation and degradation often being the key driver.

'Dominatrix' (Volume 2), is an exploration into the largely hidden world of the sadomasochistic female, along with Volume 1, it offers the definitive and most broad-ranging international study of the subject ever undertaken. Conducted over a 10-year period, by the BDSM magazine publisher and writer, Roy Turner, these eBooks offer a full, frank and totally unique insight into the real world of the dominatrix, those who work within the 'sex industry', as well as those who live out the 'Fem/Dom' lifestyle in private. In Volume 2, we meet the Antwerp-based; 'Mistress Shane', who is an unrepentant Sadist-managing to combine a passion for strap-on dildos and equal opportunity multi-gender sex with a weakness for romantic fiction and a love of the opera and antiques Hear how 'Mistress Gen' of band 'The Genitorturers', shocked and enthralled audiences with her notorious live stage show-a combination of a rock concert and an extremely fetishistic sex show, busting taboos in cities all over the world-except Cincinnati Meet, Patricia de Gifford, who now reigns as 'Supreme Highest Administrator' in one of the most bizarre and ambitious endeavours in the Fem/Dom stratosphere, the legendary 'Other World Kingdom', or OWK for short. Located in the Czech Republic, the OWK has created a veritable country of 'dominant women' and male 'subject-slaves', complete with palaces, farms, even their own currency and, of course, plenty of prisons Authentically re-enact your schooldays with 'Miss Prim', who works exclusively within the world of 'adult' schoolboy and schoolgirl fantasy scenarios, in her role as headmistress of the 'Muir Academy', in South Wales. 'Nanny Lilly' has devoted herself to the nurturing and (when needed) the chastisement of her 'Big Baby' charges. Here she shares her experiences and understanding of this little known area of eroticism, providing along the way a fascinating insight into the world of the 'adult baby'. Get the truth about Sara Dale, who achieved a degree of infamy some years ago as the 'Miss Whiplash' character in the scandal surrounding property rented out by a then British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Norman Lamont. Unusually, she switches in her role-playing, that is she enjoys playing both the dominant and submissive roles in her unique approach to tantric sex and counselling. Also discover the bizarre, yet enchanting world of female dominance that exists in 'Aristasia' with ambassadress Miss Marianne Martindale, a world of bygone charm and elegance that ignores all events that have occurred since 1960-including the calendar There are, in all, five or six Aristasian households scattered around Britain. The embassy is the only one that may be visited by a male outsider, and then only by invitation. Miss Martindale, as ambassadress and spokeswoman, is the only Aristasian who will communicate with the outside world. Plus, many other revealing interviews with professional and lifestyle mistresses including the Americans; The Reverend Kellie Everts, Lady Latex, Lady Green, Domina Irene Boss. The UK's; Tanith Au Set, Janus, Mistresses; 'R', Ash, Christine, and Amber. Sub/Dom couples; Chrystalle & Guy, Christine & David, Linda & Gary.

Mistress Antoinette reveals her Spanish clients were into 'religious' punishments whereas in England the number of men here who have a 'knicker' fetish continually amazes her. Interestingly enough, black knickers seem to be the big turn-on with men in England, whereas in Catholic Spain it is nearly always virginal white knickers that perhaps unsurprisingly, are the most popular. And, Mistress Brigitte of the Dutch SM-Studio Phoenix, who form a very happy extended S&M 'family' comprising of a married Mistress and Master together with their male and female slaves who live, work and play together. And even do the baby-sitting and the school-run For the dedicated fetishist, no trip to the German city of Munich would be complete without a stopover at the studio of Lady Claudette; otherwise rather aptly named 'Bizarradise'. The true connoisseur of outrageous eroticism will find everything on offer and even the more unusual tastes happily accommodated in this liberal, or rather less conservative, oasis of traditionally ultra right-wing Bavaria. The no-nonsense, business like approach of Mistress Jacqueline, is typical of American dominants. Her autobiography, 'Whips and Kisses', as well as her many TV appearances, mail order company and lecture tours Jacqueline has established herself as quite a formidable force on the American fetish scene. Tokyo born Mistress Midori is the daughter of a Japanese mother and German-American father. Both her parents are university professors. Following a varied and successful career in the United States Army and in commerce, see how she found herself a professional dominatrix in San Francisco. As her name suggests, Miss Spiteful's interests definitely lean toward the hard-core end of the SM spectrum, including the nailing of foreskins to tables and the burning of swastika's into flesh with cigarettes. She is also a leading practitioner of the intricate art of Japanese rope bondage. Despite her predilections for the more extreme forms of game-playing, she strictly adheres to the limits of safety and consensuality, practicing her dungeon crafts in South London. Plus, many other revealing interviews with professional and lifestyle mistresses including the Chinese Dominatrix, Mai-Ling. Mistresses; Adelle, Andria, Christine Deering, Cassandra Payne, Dominique, Eva, Hades, Rowena, Xena. Goddesses, Venus and Dianna Vesta, plus Lady Amber and Madam Karra.
