                           CALL FOR PAPERS
 
            The Third International Workshop on
     Contexts and Ontologies: Representation and Reasoning
                            (C&O:RR-2007)
                      http://www.c-and-o.net/


August 21, 2007, CONTEXT Workshop Program, Roskilde University, Denmark.
 

OBJECTIVES
The goal of this workshop is to bring people from the context and 
ontology communities together to discuss the approaches they use for 
information integration from the knowledge representation and reasoning 
perspective. Therefore, the workshop will push the cross-fertilization 
and exchange of ideas (e.g., which of the methods from the context 
community can be successfully adopted in the ontology community, and 
vice versa), and, hence, make their meeting mutually beneficial.
 

TOPICS of interest include, but are not limited to:
  Information interoperability and reuse via multiple contexts and ontologies.
  Coordination of multiple contexts and ontologies.
  Modular ontologies.
  Logical formalisms for contexts and ontologies.
  Distributed reasoning algorithms for contexts and ontologies.
  Complexity of distributed reasoning for contexts and ontologies.
  Comparison of uses of contexts and ontologies.
  Applications of reasoning with contexts and ontologies in the areas of 
  semantic web, information retrieval, e-commerce, telecommunications, 
  multimedia, content indexing, grid and peer-to-peer, pervasive computing 
  and ambient intelligence.
