Ten Conceptual Dimensions of Context
It offers a systematic framework for researchers and practitioners to analyze context in computing, though it is incremental as it builds on existing literature.
The paper synthesizes various conceptualizations of 'context' in computing literature, identifying ten dimensions such as location and user characteristics to provide a comprehensive view for examining context's influence on human-system interactions.
This paper attempts to synthesize various conceptualizations of the term "context" as found in computing literature. Ten conceptual dimensions of context thus emerge -- location; user, task, and system characteristics; physical, social, organizational, and cultural environments; time-related aspects, and historical information. Together, the ten dimensions of context provide a comprehensive view of the notion of context, and allow for a more systematic examination of the influence of context and contextual information on human-system or human-AI interactions.
