Hybrid Context Model Based on Multilevel Situation Theory and Ontology for Contact Centers

Context awareness and context modeling have raised their call for attention and importance quite recently in the world of contact centers for better customer services and relations. To address the issues of contextual reuse and contextual inconsistencies, there is a need for context models that foster context reuse and support ease of retrieving right kind of information by providing ate abstractions of contextual information.
