Description
A model of context that makes no contact with the questions that people have or the problems which need to be solved will have no use value. To break the cycle then we need to look at what is needed in the field. There are many challenges in working with context and these are at the level of theory, model and application. In this chapter we explore some of the more pressing challenges and look at how these might be resolved.
