Defining Context

not all context is created equal
One of the central problems in building context-aware applications is defining what context is relevant and how can it be sensed/classified/modeled. Without an understanding of how context and application interact nothing else can be done. In addition, some types of context are relatively easy to determine (such as location) and some may be quite hard (such as "talking to my friend Bob").
