**** SECOND CALL FOR WORKSHOP *****
*********************************
EXTENDED DEADLINE - october 5th, 2004

The Fifth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT'05) will provide a forum for presenting and discussing high-quality research and applications on context. The conference will include workshops, poster session, demonstration session and a doctoral consortium. Workshops will be held one day prior to the conference (July 5, 2005).

The goal of the workshops is to provide a valuable opportunity for small communities of people with diverse perspectives and in various disciplines to engage in rich and deep discussions about a topic of common interest related to the notion of context.

As for the conference, the workshops would invite researchers and practitioners to share insights and cutting-edge results from a wide range of disciplines including:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Cognitive Science
- Computer Science
- Linguistics
- Organizational Sciences
- Philosophy
- Psychology
- Ubiquitous Computing
- Application areas such as Medicine and Law
However, the goal of the workshops is to focus on the impact of context in one discipline.
