CALL FOR
PAPERS<BR> <BR>
The Third International Workshop on<BR> Contexts and
Ontologies: Representation and
Reasoning<BR>
(C&O:RR-2007)<BR>
<A href="http://www.c-and-o.net/">http://www.c-and-o.net/</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><BR>August 21, 2007, CONTEXT Workshop Program,
Roskilde University, Denmark.<BR> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>OBJECTIVES<BR>The goal of this workshop is to
bring people from the context and <BR>ontology communities together to discuss
the approaches they use for <BR>information integration from the knowledge
representation and reasoning <BR>perspective. Therefore, the workshop will push
the cross-fertilization <BR>and exchange of ideas (e.g., which of the methods
from the context <BR>community can be successfully adopted in the ontology
community, and <BR>vice versa), and, hence, make their meeting mutually
beneficial.<BR> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>TOPICS of interest include, but are not limited
to:<BR> Information interoperability and reuse via multiple contexts and
ontologies.<BR> Coordination of multiple contexts and
ontologies.<BR> Modular ontologies.<BR> Logical formalisms for
contexts and ontologies.<BR> Distributed reasoning algorithms for contexts
and ontologies.<BR> Complexity of distributed reasoning for contexts and
ontologies.<BR> Comparison of uses of contexts and ontologies.<BR>
Applications of reasoning with contexts and ontologies in the areas of
<BR> semantic web, information retrieval, e-commerce, telecommunications,
<BR> multimedia, content indexing, grid and peer-to-peer, pervasive
computing <BR> and ambient intelligence.</FONT></DIV>
