CONTEXT 2019: 11th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context
"STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS: TWENTY YEARS AFTER CONTEXT-99"
Trento, Italy, 19-22 November 2019
DEADLINES EXTENDED! SEE NEW DATES BELOW.
The CONTEXT conference series has brought together researchers and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and industries to present their work related to issues of context, contextual reasoning and context-awareness and to discuss commonalities and diversities in the different disciplinary approaches. It is unique in focusing on context as a subject of study in its own right, and it has become one of the top venues for context-related research.
CONTEXT-2019 is the 11th conference in the series and takes place in the wonderful region of Trento, where 20 years ago the international conference was held after the pioneering launch event in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in 1997. As in the tradition of the series, submissions are invited from a wide range of disciplines, including artificial intelligence, computer science, context-aware applications, ubiquitous computing, cognitive science and psychology, social and organizational sciences, linguistics, philosophy, and various application areas, including (but not limited to) finance, medicine & healthcare, virtual and augmented reality, food, sport, business intelligence, big data analytics, education & e-learning, law. All accepted papers must be accessible also to non-specialists, for example, by providing accessible discussions of the disciplinary prerequisites to allow those outside the discipline to understand the work.
The program of CONTEXT-2019 will consist of:
- research paper sessions;
- industrial paper sessions;
- keynote presentations;
- a poster session;
- panels;
- workshops.
Papers of broad interdisciplinary interest will be presented in plenary sessions; all other papers will be presented in disciplinary sessions. A short paper describing each poster will appear in the conference proceedings, and some of the participants of the doctoral consortium will be invited to present a poster. Panels will bring together distinguished researchers in various fields to discuss interdisciplinary issues in modeling and using context. Best Paper and other awards, to be highlighted in the proceedings, will be conferred at the closing ceremony.
For CONTEXT-2019, we also warmly invite two special categories of papers:
- LOOKING BACKWARD: papers which offer a deep retrospective view of how context had an impact in scientific and technological research and applications since CONTEXT-99;
- LOOKING FORWARD: papers which offer a game-changing vision of how context can lead to disruptive innovation in the next 20 years ("let's meet again in 2039").
Conference proceedings
Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. Some papers will be selected for a special issue in the “Modeling and Using Context” journal (https://www.openscience.fr/Modelisation-et-utilisation-du-contexte).
Best Video Pitch award
In addition to the traditional Best Paper and other awards, this year for the first time a Best Video Pitch award will be assigned to the best 1 minute video which will be submitted through the Facebook page of the conference (https://www.facebook.com/context.conferences/). The video pitch must illustrate in a short and accessible way the key message of the submitted paper, present key results, explain why people should read it.
