 The Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling
and  Using Context (CONTEXT'03) will provide a high-quality forum for
discussions  about context among researchers active in artificial
intelligence and other  areas of computer science, cognitive science,
linguistics, the organizational  sciences, philosophy, and psychology.
 
 Context affects a wide range of activities in humans and animals as
well as  in artificial agents and other computer programs. The
importance of context  is widely acknowledged, and "context" has become
an area of study in its own  right, as evidenced by the numerous
workshops, symposia, seminars, and  conferences held recently. CONTEXT,
the oldest conference series focusing on  context, is unique due to its
strong emphasis on interdisciplinary  research. Previous CONTEXT
conferences have been held in Rio de Janeiro,  Brazil (CONTEXT'97),
Trento, Italy (CONTEXT'99), and Dundee, Scotland  (CONTEXT'01). Each of
these brought together researchers in many disparate  fields to discuss
and report on research on context-related topics.

 The proceedings of CONTEXT'03 will be published in a Lecture Notes
series
 (http://www.springer.de/comp/lnai) of Springer­Verlag, as were those of
the  previous two CONTEXT conferences.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

 To guide potential submissions, a representative sampling of topics of
interest for CONTEXT'03 are as follows (in alphabetical order). This is
not  an exhaustive list, and other contributions are welcome, although
all  submissions must have a focus on context.

  Analogy and case-based reasoning     Autonomous Agents and Agent-based
Systems
  Cognitive Modeling                   Commonsense Reasoning
  Context Issues in Databases          Context-aware Applications
  Contextual effects on language       Contextual effects on
problem-solving,
    understanding and production         decision-making, and
categorization
  Decision Support and Expert Systems  Distributed Information Systems
  Formal Theories of Context           Heterogeneous Information
Integration
  Human-Computer Interaction           Information Management
  Intelligent Tutoring Systems         Intelligent/Semantic Web Systems
  Interagent Communication             Knowledge Engineering and
Management
  Knowledge Representation             Machine Learning
  Multiagent Systems                   Natural Language Processing
  Neuroscience and context             Organizational Theory and Design
  Philosophical Foundations


SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

 Since CONTEXT'03 will be an interdisciplinary forum, all submissions,
in  addition to being evaluated for their technical merit, will be
evaluated for  their accessibility to an interdisciplinary audience.
Works that transcend  disciplinary boundaries are especially encouraged.
Papers will be accepted  either for oral presentation or for
presentation at a poster session.

 Each submission will be evaluated by three referees. Complete
formatting  requirements and detailed instructions for authors can be
found on the  conference Web page. Note that papers cannot be longer
than 14 pages. Papers  must be submitted electronically--no hardcopy
submissions will be accepted  without prior approval from the Program
Co-Chairs well in advance of the  submission deadline. LaTeX and Word
templates are available at the conference  Web page. Papers must be in
PDF format.  See the conference Web page for  instructions on converting
to this format from Word, LaTeX, etc.

 Submitted papers should be received by the Program Co-Chairs no later
than  January 6, 2003. The conference Web page contains instructions for
submitting  papers electronically.
