abstract

There is a growing realization that context can constrain Information Retrieval thereby reducing the complexity of a retrieval system. At this aim, a system has to retrieve documents by considering time, place, interaction, task, and many other factors that are implicit in the user environment. Instead of resorting to heuristics, a principled approach to Information Retrieval in Context may help understand how to design these systems. In this chapter, a principled approach to context-aware navigation and retrieval is presented
