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.
