@ARTICLE{10.21494/ISTE.OP.2021.0686, TITLE={Context-based Assistant Systems: First Results}, AUTHOR={Patrick Brézillon, }, JOURNAL={Modeling and Using Context}, VOLUME={4}, NUMBER={CONTEXT-21 Special Issue}, YEAR={2021}, URL={http://www.openscience.fr/Context-based-Assistant-Systems-First-Results}, DOI={10.21494/ISTE.OP.2021.0686}, ISSN={2514-5711}, ABSTRACT={The evolution of AI systems from expert systems, knowledge-based systems, joint cognitive systems, intelligent systems, intelligent assistant systems (IASs) and the coming generation of Context-based IASs (CIASs). CIASs require a deep focus on context and its relations with the users, the task at hand, the situation and the environment in which the task is accomplished by the user; the observation of users through their action and behaviors and not a profile library; a robust conceptual framework for modeling and managing context; and a computational tool for representing in a uniform way pieces of knowledge, of reasoning and of contexts.}}
