                       MODELING AND USING CONTEXT
                   Trento, Italy, September 9-11, 1999.

                   http://www.cs.unitn.it/CONTEXT-99/

The importance of the notion of context is widely acknowledged, as
evidenced by the numerous workshops, symposia and seminars on context
held in the last few years.  The Second International and
Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context aims at
providing a high quality forum for discussion on context among
researchers active in Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science,
Computer Science, Linguistics, Philosophy, and Psychology.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The following topics, in which contexts can be studied and/or applied,
are meant to be suggestive of the scope of the the conference:

   Animated Characters                Cognitive Modeling
   Commonsense Reasoning              Communication
   Constraint-Based Reasoning         Databases and Active Databases
   Data Mining                        Decision Support Systems
   Diagnostic Reasoning               Dynamics of Context
   Formal Theories of Context         Propositional Attitudes
   Heterogeneous Information Integration  Information Management
   Intelligent Tutoring Systems       Knowledge Engineering
   Knowledge Representation           Machine Learning
   Multi-Agent Systems                Natural Language Processing
   Natural Language Semantics         Pattern Recognition
   Philosophical Foundations          Pragmatics
   Temporal Reasoning                 Spatial Reasoning

INTERDISCIPLINARY CHARACTER

CONTEXT'99 is meant to provide an interdisciplinary forum.  All
submissions, in addition to being evaluated for their technical and
theoretical merit, will be evaluated for their ability to be
accessible to an interdisciplinary community. Works that transcend
their disciplinary boundaries are encouraged.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Participants will be selected on the basis of submitted papers (10
single-spaced A4 pages maximum) by three referees at least. Papers
must include in the first page: title, author's name(s), affiliation,
complete mailing address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, an
abstract of 300 words maximum, and up to five keywords. Electronic
submission (compressed/zipped/gzipped standard PostScript file under
the name first-author.ps) is strongly encouraged; alternatively,
