The Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling
and
Using Context, 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 Springer-Verlag, as were those of
previous 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.
