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 27, 2003. The conference Web page contains instructions for
submitting
papers electronically.
