CONTEXT'05

The Fifth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on

The Fifth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and
Using Context (CONTEXT'05) will provide a forum for presenting and
discussing high-quality research and applications on context. The
conference will include paper and poster presentations, system
demonstrations, workshops, and a doctoral consortium. The conference
invites researchers and practitioners to share insights and cutting-edge
results from a wide range of disciplines including:

Artificial Intelligence Cognitive Science
Computer Science Linguistics
Organizational Sciences Philosophy
Psychology Ubiquitous Computing
Application areas such as Medicine and Law

Context affects a wide range of activities in humans and animals as well
as in artificial agents and other systems. The importance of context is
widely acknowledged, and ``context'' has become an area of study in its
own right, as evidenced by numerous workshops, symposia, seminars, and
conferences on this area. CONTEXT, the oldest conference series focusing
on context, is unique in its emphasis on interdisciplinary research.
Previous CONTEXT conferences have been held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
(CONTEXT'97), Trento, Italy (CONTEXT'99, LNCS 1688), Dundee, Scotland
(CONTEXT'01, LNCS 2116), and Palo Alto, U.S.A. (CONTEXT'03, LNCS 2680).
Each of these brought together researchers and practitioners from many
disparate fields to discuss and report on context-related research and
projects.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The following list illustrates sample research areas whose perspectives
on context are solicited for the conference. This is not an exhaustive
list, and contributions addressing context from other perspectives are
welcome. The conference scope includes the contextual issues related to
areas such as:

Analogy and Case-Based Reasoning Autonomous Agents and Agent-based Sys
Cognitive Modeling Concepts and Categorization
Context-Aware Applications and Systems Databases
Distributed Information Systems Formal Theories of Context
Heterogeneous Information Integration Human Decision-Making, Dec. Support Sys
Human-Centered Computing Human-Computer Interaction
Information Management Intelligent Tutoring Systems
Intelligent User Interfaces Intelligent/Semantic Web Systems
Knowledge Engineering and Management Knowledge Representation
Language Understanding and Production Learning
Memory, Representation and Access Multiagent Systems, Interagent Comm.
Neuroscience Ontology Management
Organizational Theory and Design Perception
Philosophical Foundations of Context Problem Solving and Planning
Reasoning Relevance Computation and Theories
Situated and Distributed Cognition Ubiquitous Computing

CONFERENCE EVENTS

CONTEXT'05 will include paper presentation sessions, a poster and
demonstration session, a day of workshops, and a doctoral consortium.
Workshops and the doctoral consortium will circulate separate calls for
papers and participation, which will also be available at the conference
web site.

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA AND SUBMISSION CATEGORIES

Because CONTEXT'05 will be an interdisciplinary forum, all submissions
will be evaluated both for their technical merit and for their
accessibility to an interdisciplinary audience. Works that transcend
disciplinary boundaries are especially encouraged.

Submissions may be for full papers, poster abstracts, or demonstration
abstracts. Full papers will be accepted either for oral presentation or
for presentation at a poster session. All accepted full paper
submissions will be published in the proceedings. Accepted posters and
demonstrations will be presented at the poster session, and the
associated abstracts will be published in a brochure distributed to
attendees. For additional details see the conference web site.

For a paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one author must
register for the conference by the deadline for camera-ready copy.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES

Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files. Submissions
cannot exceed 14 pages in the Springer LNAI format. Detailed
formatting and submissions instructions, as well as LaTeX and Word
templates, will be available in the author instructions section of the
conference Web site http://www.context-05.org.

All accepted authors will have the option of presenting a system
demonstration at the poster session. Authors wishing to present a
demonstration without an accompanying paper must submit a demonstration
abstract. Demonstration abstracts should describe cutting-edge systems
not described in paper submissions. Demonstration abstracts should
summarize the system's behavior and significance, and should include at
least one screen shot. If desired, they may also include the URL of an
informal video on the web. Demonstration abstracts should be at most 2
pages long.

MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS POLICY

CONTEXT'05 will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission,
is under review for or has already been published or accepted for
publication in a journal or another conference. This restriction does
not apply to submissions for workshops and other venues with a limited
audience.
