Representing Context-Sensitive Knowledge in a Network Formalism: A
  Preliminary Report
  Automated decision making is often complicated by the complexity of the
knowledge involved. Much of this complexity arises from the context sensitive
variations of the underlying phenomena. We propose a framework for representing
descriptive, context-sensitive knowledge. Our approach attempts to integrate
categorical and uncertain knowledge in a network formalism. This paper outlines
the basic representation constructs, examines their expressiveness and
efficiency, and discusses the potential applications of the framework.
