*** First Call for Papers and
Call for Workshop Proposals ***
The 9th International and Interdisciplinary
Conference on Modeling
and Using Context (CONTEXT 2015)
2â6 November 2015, Lordos Beach Hotel,
Larnaca, Cyprus
The CONTEXT conferences are the worldâs
prime forum for presentation and
exchange of insights and cutting-edge results
from the wide range of
disciplines concerned with context.
The main theme of CONTEXT 2015 is âBack to
the rootsâ, focusing on the
importance of interdisciplinary cooperations
and studies of the phenomenon.
Context, context modeling and context
comprehension are central topics in
linguistics, philosophy, sociology,
artificial intelligence, computer science,
art, law, organizational sciences, cognitive
science, psychology, etc. and are
also essential for the effectiveness of
modern, complex and distributed
software systems.
CONTEXT 2015 invites high-quality
contributions from researchers and
practitioners in foundational studies,
applications and evaluations of
modeling and use of context in all relevant
fields. Areas of interest include,
but are not limited to, the role of context
seen from different perspectives in:
⢠Agent-based architectures
⢠Ambient intelligence
⢠Cognition and perception by humans and
artifacts
⢠Context-aware and situated systems
⢠Context modeling tools
⢠Communication and dialogue
⢠Data analysis and visualization
⢠Decision making
⢠Discourse comprehension and
representation
⢠Engineering, e.g., in transport networks,
industrial plants etc.
⢠Experimental philosophy and experimental
pragmatics
⢠(Formal) models of context
⢠Human-computer interaction
⢠Knowledge representation
⢠Language acquisition and processing
⢠Learning, knowledge management and
sharing
⢠Logic and reasoning
⢠Machine learning
⢠Ontology/ies
⢠Semantics and Pragmatics
⢠Smart and interactive spaces
⢠Understanding art, images, music and
theatre
Proceedings
Accepted papers and poster abstracts will be
published in a volume of the
Springer LNAI series.
Submission format
Submissions may be either full papers of up
to 14 pages (in Springer LNCS
format) or poster abstracts of 4â6 pages.
Full papers may be accepted as such
with oral presentation, or their authors may
be invited to prepare a poster
abstract. Detailed formatting and submissions
instructions will be provided.
Conference events
CONTEXT 2015 will include paper presentation
sessions, a poster and
demonstration session, two days of workshops,
and a doctoral consortium as
well as keynote talks and a panel discussion.
Workshops and the doctoral
consortium will circulate separate calls for
papers and participation, which
will also be available at the conference web
site. All accepted authors will have
the option of presenting a
system demonstration at the poster session.
Important dates
Full papers and posters:
⢠Submission deadline: June 1, 2015
⢠Notification: July 13, 2015
⢠Final version: August 17, 2015
Workshops
CONTEXT 2015 workshops will provide a
platform for presenting novel and
emerging ideas in the use and the modelling
of context in a less formal and
possibly more focused way than the conference
itself. The format of each
workshop is to be determined by the
organisers, but it is expected that
workshops will contain ample time for general
discussion and engagement by
all participants - not just those presenting
papers. Workshops that foster
collaboration, discussion, group
problem-solving and community-building
initiatives are particularly encouraged.
Researchers and practitioners from
all relevant fields are invited to submit
proposals for review.
Proposals for workshops should contain:
1. A title and brief (2-page max) description
of the workshop topic and
content.
2. The desired workshop length (one day, two
days or a half day) and an
estimate of the number of attendees.
3. The names, postal addresses, phone
numbers, and email addresses of
the organisers, with one-paragraph statements
of their research interests
and areas of expertise.
4. A list of potential members of the program
committee, with an
indication of which members have already
signed up.
5. A description of any shared tasks
associated with the workshop.
6. A description of special requirements for
technical needs.
7. An indication of whether posters are
likely to be included in the
workshop program.
Please submit proposals in plain text in the
body of an email to the
no later than March 20, 2015.
Notification of acceptance of workshop
proposals will occur no later
than April 1, 2015.
Organisers of accepted workshops will be
responsible for publicising and
running the workshop, including reviewing
submissions and producing the
camera-ready workshop proceedings and a
possibly printed version; the
conference website may link to online
workshop proceedings. It is crucial
that organisers commit to all deadlines.
Workshop organisers cannot accept for
publication papers that will be (or
have been) published elsewhere, although they
are free to set their own
policies on simultaneous submission and
review. At least one organiser of an
accepted workshop is expected attend and lead
the workshop; any participant
and speaker must register for the conference.
The CONTEXT 2015 organisers
will set the workshop fees, provide rooms,
equipment, technical support,
coffee and lunch breaks.
