Language/action perspective

Language/Action Perspective (LAP) is based upon the notion as proposed by Terry Winograd that "expert behavior requires an exquisite sensitivity to context" and that such sensitivity is more in the realm of the human than in that of the artificial.

Insights from related work have been applied over the past two decades. At the LAP 2004 - Conference, Kalle Lyytinen discussed the academic/theoretic success of LAP. Yet, these LAP successes have not found entry into the wider stream of applications. In a sense, LAP is now peripheral to computer science, however there may be a need for a deeper look at this viewpoint.

LAP did play a role in the AI Winter. It rests strongly on the work of John Searle.
