CONTEXT'01: Third International Conference on
Modeling and Using Context
Dundee, Scotland
July 27-30, 2001
http://www.context.umcs.maine.edu/CONTEXT-01
(mirrored at http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/context-01)
The Third International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and
Using Context (CONTEXT'01) aims at providing a high quality forum for
discussions on context among researchers active in Artificial Intelligence,
Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Linguistics, Organizational Sciences,
Philosophy, and Psychology.
The importance of the notion of context is widely acknowledged, as evidenced
by the numerous workshops, symposia, and seminars on context held recently
(see the Context Web Site). The CONTEXT series of conferences has a unique
place among these due to its strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research.
The first conference in this series (CONTEXT'97) was held in Rio de Janeiro
in 1997. The second conference (CONTEXT'99) was held in Trento in 1999; see
http://www.cs.unitn.it/CONTEXT-99 for details.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The following topics, in which contexts can be studied and/or applied, are
indicative of the scope of the conference:
* Case-Based Reasoning
* Cognitive Modeling
* Commonsense Reasoning
* (Active) Databases
* Decision Support Systems
* Distributed Information Systems
* Formal Theories of Context
* Heterogeneous Information Integration
* Human-Computer Interaction
* Information Management
* Intelligent Internet Systems
* Intelligent Tutoring Systems
* Knowledge Engineering
* Knowledge Management
* Knowledge Representation
* Machine Learning
* Multi-Agent Systems
* Natural Language Processing
* Natural Language Semantics
* Organizational Contexts
* Philosophical Foundations
* Pragmatics
This is not an exhaustive list; other contributions on context are welcome.
PUBLICATION PLANS
As was the case with CONTEXT'99, the proceedings of CONTEXT'01 will be
published by Springer-Verlag as a volume in their series Lecture Notes in
Artificial Intelligence (LNAI), a subseries of Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS). Copies of the volume will be distributed to registered
participants at the conference. Publication of an accepted paper in the
proceedings will be conditional upon two things: presentation of the paper
during the conference and registration of at least one of its authors at the
conference.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
CONTEXT'01 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 accessibility to an interdisciplinary community.
Accordingly, works that transcend their disciplinary boundaries are
especially encouraged.
Each submission will be evaluated by three referees.
Submissions must include in their first page: title, author's name,
affiliation, complete mailing address, phone/fax numbers, e-mail address,
and an abstract. Prospective authors are strongly advised to see the sample
paper at:
* http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/instruct/typeinst.pdf or
* http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/instruct/typeinst.ps
for the formatting requirements. It is crucial to note that papers cannot be
longer than 14 pages. Detailed information for authors is available at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Only electronic submissions (PostScript or PDF file only, named with the
first author's name and last name, e.g. John-Doe.ps or John-Doe.pdf) are
acceptable. It would be wise to use a well-known compression utility (e.g.
compress or gzip) before a paper is e-mailed. If one foresees problems in
submitting his/her paper in one of the allowed electronic formats and would
like to send hardcopy instead, then he/she should send e-mail to one of the
Program Co-Chairs well in advance of the submission deadline and seek
advice. LNCS is now published both in print and in a full-text electronic
version; therefore, the electronic files are indispensable.
Submitted papers should be received by the Conference Chair no later than
February 2, 2001:

SPECIALIZED WORKSHOPS
CONTEXT'01 expands the format of CONTEXT'97 and CONTEXT'99 in that
specialized workshops are planned to let participants discuss emerging,
narrow, and technical issues related to context. Proposals for specialized
workshops should be sent to the Workshops Chair by March 2, 2001:
Massimo Benerecetti
CONTEXT'01 Workshops Chair
Department of Physical Sciences
University of Naples "Federico II"
Complesso Monte Santangelo
via Cinthia
80126 Napoli, Italy
Massimo.Benerecetti at na.infn.it
A proposal should consist of the following items: workshop title, address
and short bio of the workshop director, one-page synopsis of the workshop,
addresses of workshop speakers who have already committed to making
presentations, and tentative titles of the presentations.
It is up to the workshop director to decide whether the workshop speakers
also prepare written versions of their presentations. In any case, there
will not be a formal written record of the workshops. A workshop director is
free to prepare an informal report or a collection of handouts incorporating
the material discussed in his/her workshop.
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline February 2, 2001
Workshop proposal submission deadline March 2, 2001
Notification of acceptance/rejection for all submissions April 2, 2001
Deadline for final versions of accepted papers (in LNAI May 4, 2001
