Fourteen years after the first Context conference in 1997 - and 60 years after Prior laid the foundation for the field -, the Seventh International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT'11) sets out to extend foundational research on context and to evaluate the status and consequences of context research, as well as to address new questions for the field.
CONTEXT'11 will provide a forum for presenting and discussing high-quality research and applications on context. The conference will include paper, poster, and video presentations, system demonstrations, workshops, and a doctoral consortium. The conference invites researchers and practitioners to share insights and cutting-edge results from the wide range of disciplines concerned with context, including: the Cognitive Sciences (Linguistics, Psychology, Philosophy, Computer Science, Neuroscience), the Social Sciences and Organizational Sciences, and all application areas, including Medicine and Law.
The main goal of the CONTEXT'11 workshops is to stimulate and facilitate an active exchange on unique and interdisciplinary applications, ideas, approaches, and methods about specific topics in the general area of modeling and using context. The Workshops provide a setting that fosters informal discussion and active engagement among attendees. Researchers from all disciplines are invited to submit proposals for workshops for review. Workshops on specific relevant aspects of broader topics and newly evolving areas of Context are particularly encouraged.
Areas of interest include but are not limited to the topics of the main conference:
Analogy and Case-Based Reasoning. . . . Knowledge Engineering and Ontologies Autonomous Agents . . . . . . . . . . . Language Understanding and Production . and Agent-based Systems . . . . . . . Learning Cognitive Modeling. . . . . . . . . . . Linguistics Concepts and Categorization . . . . . . Memory, Representation and Access Context-Aware Services and Systems. . . Multiagent Systems Context-Recognition . . . . . . . . . . . and Interagent Communication Distributed Information Systems . . . . Neuroscience Formal Semantics and Pragmatics . . . . Formal Ontology of Context Domains Formal Theories of Context. . . . . . . Organizational Theory and Design Heterogeneous Information Integration . Perception Human Decision-Making . . . . . . . . . Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing . and Decision Support Systems. . . . . Philosophical Foundations of Context Human-Centered Computing. . . . . . . . Problem Solving and Planning Human-Computer Interaction. . . . . . . Psychological experiments Information Management. . . . . . . . . Reasoning Intelligent Tutoring Systems. . . . . . Relevance Computation Intelligent User Interfaces . . . . . . . and Relevance Theories Intelligent/Semantic Web Systems. . . . Sensor Networks and Sensing Systems Knowledge Representation. . . . . . . . Situated and Distributed Cognition
WORKSHOP FORMAT Workshops in general will be one full day in duration, exceptionally lasting half a day or two days. Format and content of each workshop will largely be determined by each workshop's organizing committee. Proposals for "mini-conference" style workshops are discouraged and ample time should be allotted for general discussion. Workshop organizers and attendees must register for the main CONTEXT'11 conference.
For presenting workshop summaries to all conference attendees, a time slot of about 10 minutes each will be provided in coordination with the main conference's regular sessions. These summaries should be presented by at least one of the workshop's organizers.
SUBMISSION OF WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
Workshop proposals should include a main document and an appendix. The main document should be no longer than two pages and include:
* The proposed title of the workshop * The names of the workshop organizers * A brief introduction to the area * Expected results of the workshop * Any important references (max 5)
The appendix does not have a page limit, but should include the following:
* A brief description of the technical issues the workshop addresses * A brief discussion of target audience and relevance to CONTEXT'11 * A description of the intended workshop format and style * A preliminary workshop schedule * A description of paper review process * A list of potential program committee members with affiliations * An estimated number of attendees with justification * A list of related workshops with dates and location * Contact information, titles and affiliations of workshop organizers. Workshop organizers should consist of three individuals knowledgeable about the technical issues to be addressed and, ideally, not being from the same institution
All proposals should be submitted by email as PDF documents (ideally formatted to the LNCS style) to the CONTEXT'11 workshop chair at:
context11-ws@teco.edu
Where workshop proposals are being proposed within a community where an extended abstract rather than full paper review process is typically required, the workshop proposal should make this case clear, and also make clear how a review process will guarantee high quality contributions.
Proposals will be reviewed by the program committee and prospective organizers will be notified of their decision no later than April 20th, 2011.
