CONTEXT'03

Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on
Modeling and Using Context

Stanford, California (USA)
June 23-25, 2003

http://www.context.umcs.maine.edu/CONTEXT-03

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/lncs/index.html) of Springer
Verlag, 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.
