The aim of this paper is to present a formal semantics inspired by the notion of Mental Imagery, largely researched in Cognitive Science and Experimental Psychology, that grasps the full significance of the concept of context. The outcomes presented here are considered important for both the Knowledge Representation and Philosophy of Language communities for two reasons. Firstly, the semantics ...

Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...

Historic contexts remind us of an era when cities were built based on the needs, goals, and preferences of their inhabitants. In other words, the mental world of both the builders and the inhabitants was closely interrelated. But by ignoring citizens' memories and interests and their mental needs, today's interventions with rapid developments within historic contexts have led to amnesia and the...

Service offers within a trader can be grouped into contexts. By associating each context with a membership rule, traders can be federated in a transparent manner without compromising heterogeneity and autonomy. In addition, context views can be defined to provide importers with an individualised view of the search offer space. Keyword Codes: C.2.4

In this paper I argue that in addition to supporting multiple cores, future microprocessor designs should decouple cores from caches and TLBs and support multiple, run-time selectable hardware memory contexts per core. Multiple memory contexts would allow the operating system and other threads to run without polluting each others’ cache and TLB contexts, reduce coherence traffic, and enable bet...
