Areas of interest include,<br>but are not limited to, the role of context seen from different perspectives in:<br><br>• Agent-based architectures<br>• Ambient intelligence<br>• Cognition and perception by humans and artifacts<br>• Context-aware and situated systems<br>• Context modeling tools<br>• Communication and dialogue<br>• Data analysis and visualization<br>• Decision making<br>• Discourse comprehension and representation<br>• Engineering, e.g., in transport networks, industrial plants etc.<br>• Experimental philosophy and experimental pragmatics<br>• (Formal) models of context<br>• Human-computer interaction<br>• Knowledge representation<br>• Language acquisition and processing<br>• Learning, knowledge management and sharing<br>• Logic and reasoning<br>• Machine learning<br>• Ontology/ies<br>• Semantics and Pragmatics<br>• Smart and interactive spaces<br>• Understanding art, images, music and theatre<br><br><u>Proceedings</u><br><br>Accepted papers and poster abstracts will be published in a volume of the<br>Springer LNAI series.<br><br><u>Submission format<br></u><br>Submissions may be either full papers of up to 14 pages (in Springer LNCS<br>format) or poster abstracts of 4–6 pages. Full papers may be accepted as such<br>with oral presentation, or their authors may be invited to prepare a poster<br>abstract. Detailed formatting and submissions instructions will be provided.<br><br><u>Conference events<br></u><br>CONTEXT 2015 will include paper presentation sessions, a poster and<br>demonstration session, two days of workshops, and a doctoral consortium as<br>well as keynote talks and a panel discussion.

The format of each<br>workshop is to be determined by the organisers, but it is expected that<br>workshops will contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by<br>all participants - not just those presenting papers. Workshops that foster<br>collaboration, discussion, group problem-solving and community-building<br>initiatives are particularly encouraged. Researchers and practitioners from<br>all relevant fields are invited to submit proposals for review.<br><br>Proposals for workshops should contain:<br><br>1. A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and<br>content.<br>2. The desired workshop length (one day, two days or a half day) and an<br>estimate of the number of attendees.<br>3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of<br>the organisers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests<br>and areas of expertise.<br>4. A list of potential members of the program committee, with an<br>indication of which members have already signed up.<br>5. A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop.<br>6. A description of special requirements for technical needs.<br>7.
