          GROSS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                         



                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                 
          rejection of claims 1 through 43, which are all of the claims               
          pending in this application.                                                
               Appellant's invention relates to a method and system for               
          evaluating a context in which a computer system is operating.               
          By using context modules, which, when executed, perform the                 
          context checks, the context checks can be modified without                  
          affecting the application that uses the context check results.
