>
> The Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling
> and
> Using Context, 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/lnai) of Springer-Verlag, as were those of
>
> previous 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

> 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

> 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
