Dealing with context is one of the most interesting and most important \;problems faced in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Traditional AI applications \;often require to model\, store\, retrieve and reason about knowledge that \;holds within certain circumstances - the context. Without \;considering this \;contextual information\, reasoning can easily run to problems such as: \;inconsistency\, when considering knowledge in the \;wrong context\; inefficiency\, by considering knowledge irrelevant for a \;certain context\; incompleteness\, since an inference may depend on knowledge \;assumed in the context and not explicitly stated. Contextual information is \;also relevant in many tasks in knowledge representation and reasoning such \;as common-sense reasoning\, dealing with inconsistency\, ambiguity\, and \;uncertainty\, evolution\, etc.
In recent years\, research in contextual knowledge representation and \;reasoning became more relevant in the areas of Semantic Web\, Linked Open \;Data\, and Ambient Intelligence\, where knowledge is not considered a \;monolithic and static asset\, but it is distributed in a network of \;interconnected heterogeneous and evolving knowledge resources. The ARCOE \;workshop aims to provide a dedicated forum for researchers interested in \;these topics to discuss recent developments\, important open issues\, and \;future directions.
