Context interpretation and context-based reasoning are key factors in the development of intelligent autonomous systems in a variety of applications. The ability to represent contextual factors, interpret them and combine them with other sources of knowledge are some of the challenges to enable intelligent systems achieve correct behavior. Much work has been done in application areas that make use of contextual information, such as pervasive computing, logic-based sensor fusion and data integration. As well, the theoretical foundations for context-based reasoning have been studied.
This workshop will provide a forum for researchers investigating context-aware applications and context-based reasoning with the goal of sharing and comparing their views on the efficacy of different context representation and context interpretation frameworks. Log-IC 2009 will also propose targeted discussions on the topic.
Holding the workshop in conjunction with LPNMR 2009 has the additional advantage of reaching out to the logic programming community, facilitating collaboration between different formalisms for context-based reasoning and enhancing nonmonotonicity combined or compared with other approaches to context interpretation.
