A new context-based information retrieval system

We present a new context-based information retrieval (IR) system where user could indicate the context in which he/she is seeking information. We use a novel way of representing context based on the type of information. The context defined in this manner is most intuitive to the user and originates from his/her information need in a problem-solving situation. This new context-based information retrieval system overcomes major limitations of the keyword based IR systems currently in use and provides improved performance
