[Pertti Vakkari]

>>
>>CALL FOR PAPERS, TUTORIAL, WORKSHOP AND DOCTORAL FORUM CONTRIBUTIONS
>>Deadline: 7 February 2005
>>-------
>>4-9 June 2005, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK
>>Context: Nature, Impact and Role
>>Fifth International Conference on Conceptions of
>>Library and Information Science
>>http://www.cis.strath.ac.uk/colis5/
>>
>>CoLIS 5 is the fifth in the series of international conferences
>>whose general aim is to provide a broad forum for critically
>>exploring and analysing research in areas such as computer science,
>>information science and library science. The theme for CoLIS 5 will
>>be the nature, impact and role of context within information-centred
>>research and technologies.
>>
>>Context is a complex, dynamic, and multi-dimensional concept that
>>influences both humans and machines: how they behave individually
>>and how they interact with each other. In CoLIS 5 we will take an
>>interdisciplinary approach to the issue of context to help us define
>>the theoretical approaches to modelling and understanding context,
>>to incorporate contextual reasoning within information access
>>technology and to develop a shared framework for promoting the
>>exploration of context.
>>
>>Contributions are invited that address issues such: the relationship
>>between context and information, investigations of context in
>>information seeking environments, models of context and relevance,
>>contextual issues in interactive information retrieval, and
>>contextual evaluations of information technologies. CoLIS5 is
>>particularly interested in technical issues involved in modelling
>>context, and methodologies for providing and evaluating
>>context-sensitive technologies for information access.
>>
>>Submissions
>>
>>CoLIS 5 invites submissions of high quality research papers,
>>proposals for half or full day tutorials, proposals for one
>>day workshops and contributions to the Doctoral Forum. All
>>submissions will be reviewed by the international program
>>committee. All accepted research papers will be published in the
>>conference proceedings by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes
>>in Computer Science series. Submissions guidelines for all types
