CIAO2010 is concerned with the relationship between context, information
and ontologies. Understanding context is crucial to delivering the right
information, in the right format, at the right time, and in turn to enhancing
the productivity of knowledge work. Meanwhile, ontologies can be used to
describe context; whilst in some cases context may influence the
interpretation of a particular ontology.

As well as the typical context-aware applications in ubiquitous and ambient
intelligent systems, the notion of context has special relevance in relation to
the interaction of context and user activity, and in particular, the influence
and role of context in knowledge processes. Thus, a context-aware
environment may analyze and detect the user’s current work through
observations, understand and learn what he does, relate user actions to
available resources, and support the user with suggestions

Topics

• The application of context in relation to processes
• The application of context to the identification of tacit knowledge
• Techniques for learning context through an analysis of user
  interaction.
• The interaction of context and user personalization
• Visualization tools for context
• Context usage in applications
• Techniques for measuring the value and effectiveness of context
  management

The use of context is also seen as of great practical importance. Therefore,
whilst the workshop will consider theoretical issues, there will be a
particular encouragement for papers relating to practical implementations.
The workshop will be of interest both to researchers in industry and
academia.
