This paper describes a case-based learning method for acquiring context-dependent user optimization preferences and tradeoffs and using them to incrementally improve schedule quality in predictive scheduling and reactive schedule management in response to unexpected execution events.
Last week, Efficient Frontier, a digital marketing company, acquired Context Optional for an undisclosed sum.
To enable behavioral adaptation, a context-aware application must dynamically acquire context data from different operating spaces in the real world, such as homes, shops and persons.

They have no ability to acquire context, and whenever they are required to make a judgment call, they are only as good as the foresight of their programmer, who needs to have anticipated any possible form of ambiguity and preemptively designed a foolproof solution for resolving it.
Distinct populations of tissue macrophages also acquire context-specific functions that are important for normal tissue homeostasis.
As a consequence of the focus on process, entrepreneurial firms experientially acquire context-specific knowledge with regards to competitors, customers, and institutions concerning cultural, institutional, and business norms.
Further analysis of these agents' networks reveals complex dynamics, combining innate perceptual-motor coupling with acquired context-action associations, to accomplish the required task.
Moreover, it is important to consider not only material-intrinsic properties of the pristine nanomaterial, but also the acquired, context-dependent 'identity' of a nanomaterial in a living system resulting from the adsorption of biomolecules on its surface.
