============================================================== We apologize for multiple copies of this call for papers PLEASE NOTICE THAT BOTH THE DATES OF THE CONFERENCE AND THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN POSTP0NED! ============================================================== +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | 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 6, 2003. The conference Web page contains instructions for submitting papers electronically.
