Summary

Information management in context trees involves three principal problems: retrieval, updating and garbage collection. These problems are discussed in the paper, and solutions are proposed and motivated. A list organization and relative algorithms to implement context trees are presented. Finally, experimental results are reported about the behaviour of a system which exploits context trees.
