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

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
CONTEXT'11 invites proposals for the workshop program. Workshop proposals should include a main document and an appendix. The main document should be no longer than five pages in Springer LNCS format and include:
. Title of the workshop
. Workshop organizers
. An introduction to the area
. Related literature
. Proposed results of the workshop
The appendix does not have a page limit. See website for more details. All proposals should be in LNCS format and submitted by e-mail to the CONTEXT'11 workshop chair (context11-ws at teco.edu) as PDF file as soon as possible but no later than March 20, 2011.
