CONTEXT 2015 workshops will provide a platform for presenting novel and emerging ideas in the use and the modelling of context in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organisers, but it is expected that workshops will contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by all participants – not just those presenting papers. Workshops that foster collaboration, discussion, group problem-solving and community-building initiatives are particularly encouraged. Researchers and practitioners from all relevant fields are invited to submit proposals for review.

Organisers of accepted workshops will be responsible for publicising and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions and producing the camera-ready workshop proceedings and a possibly printed version; the conference website may link to online workshop proceedings.
