Context-Aware Systems and Situation-Sensitive Applications
This workshop will take place on 11 September 2005 in Koblenz, Germany. It will be held at 28th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence
KI 2005.
Abstract:
The role of context and the consideration of situations in reasoning processes have a long tradition in Artificial Intelligence. Context has been handled in various CSCW applications and it was a central representation schema in model based robotics. Situation Semantics played a central role in Natural Language Processing and the famous Situation Calculus gave rise to a couple of application oriented logics and reasoning techniques. Due to the success of wireless communication and the advanced use of sensors and smart labels, context management and situative reasoning starts a revival.
The aim of the workshop is
- to present real world applications where context and/or situations play a central role
- to identify frontiers and open problems of CAS-SSA
- to analyse the potential for a broad integration of CAS-SSA into the everyday life
- to exchange concepts and implementations of context models
- to collect and discuss existing standardization of representation and reasoning mechanisms
Schedule:
CAS-SSA will be a one day workshop with three elements
- presentation sessions
- poster contest
- open problem task force
The presentation sessions, which will take place in the morning, will address attractive applications, innovative technology, and open problems in the field of CAS-SSA. The poster contest consists of a one hour poster presentation session with voting. Posters should adress a scenario for CAS-SSA in the year 2020. There will be a prize for the "spaciest" idea. In the open problem task force there will be working groups for different problem areas which have the task to discuss the proposed open problems and to formulate a problem description together with a goal scenario.
Due to a shortened review procedure we like to receive position papers of the form:
*Paper Titel
*Name(s) and Affiliation(s)
*Extended Abstract
for the presentation sessions.
Poster proposals are requested as an up to 3 page bulletin which describes the problem, the technical solution, and a use case in order to present the usefulness of the scenario in the world of 2020.
Final papers (8-15 pages) should follow the Springer LNCS style (see:
http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html).
All submissions should be sent in pdf-format to
mueller@ba-mannheim.de
