The importance of the notion of context is widely acknowledged, as
evidenced by the numerous workshops, symposia and seminars on
context held in the last few years.
The Second International and Interdisciplinary Conference on
Modeling and Using Context aims at providing a high quality forum
for discussion on context among researchers active in Artificial
Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Linguistics,
Philosophy, and Psychology.
