Description
SFL provides a strong focus on the application of theory and model to everyday situations that demands of the theory an ongoing connection with its users. But, what is required from a model of context varies greatly depending on the task to which it is put and this becomes clear when we apply a model. In this chapter we consider the changes that are needed to move from a theory of context to a model of context and finally the application within a specific domain.
