Abstract
Representing and reasoning in a distributed and heterogeneous environments is becoming more and more important with the advent of the web and the ubiquitous connectivity. In the last decade, in many application areas such as, "Information Integration", "Distributed Knowledge Management", "Semantic Web", "Multi Agents Systems", "Distributed Reasoning", "Data Grid and Grid Computing", and "Peer to Peer cooperation systems", it becomes more and more relevant the capability to represent and reason on knowledge bases which are not organized as a monolithic entity, but in which knowledge is scattered in a large set of local and autonomous inter-related contexts. Representing and Reasoning on context is therefore becoming a necessity in many application areas, as most of the results in knowledge representation and automated reasoning are based on the assumption that knowledge is stored in an unique homogeneous block. In more recent years, a number of approaches to context representation and reasoning have been proposed in the different application areas, possibly under different names. This workshop has the main objective to allow the exchange of these experiences among expert in the different application areas.
