This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context, CONTEXT 2015, held in Larnaca, Cyprus, in November 2015. The 33 full papers and 13 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 91 submissions. The main theme of CONTEXT 2015 was "Back to the roots", focusing on the importance of interdisciplinary cooperations and studies of the phenomenon. Context, context modeling and context comprehension are central topics in linguistics, philosophy, sociology, artificial intelligence, computer science, art, law, organizational sciences, cognitive science, psychology, etc. and are also essential for the effectiveness of modern, complex and distributed software systems. CONTEXT 2015 embedded also a Doctoral Symposium, and three workshops; Smart University 3.0; CATI: Context Awareness and Tactile Design for Mobile Interaction; and SHAPES 3.0: The Shape of Things.

Modeling and Using Context

Fracture and Mechanics is concerned with the experimental method of static and dynamic caustics and the Distribution of Determinant (Det.)-criterion of fracture. The Det.-criterion determines the conditions causing a crack and gives information on the expected angle of crack propagation. The object of this publication is to present the latest results to the re.earch and development community and to assist the teaching of experimental fracture mechanics and stress analysis in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. After discussing the basic theoretical considerations on the subject, experimental techniques and applications are introduced. Most of the results presented are based on the author's own investigations in the field of experimental mechanics since 1973 at the National Technical University of Athens.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 24th International Symposium on Foundations of Intelligent Systems, ISMIS 2018, held in Limassol, Cyprus, in October 2018. The 32 full, 8 short, and 4 application papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 59 submissions. The papers deal with topics such as bioinformatics and health informatics, graph mining, image analysis, intelligent systems, mining complex patterns, novelty detection and class imbalance, social data analysis, spatio-temporal analysis, and topic modeling and opinion mining. In addition, three special sessions were organized, namely: Special Session on Granular and Soft Clustering for Data Science, Special Session on Intelligent Methodologies for Traffic Data Analysis and Mining, and Special Session on Advanced Methods in Machine Learning for Modeling Complex Data.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on End-User Development, IS-EUD 2021, held in July 2021. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. The paper track received 26 submissions, of which 11 full and 4 short papers were selected after a rigorous double-blind review process. The papers focus on “Democratizing AI development”, namely on EUD for AI-based systems, where end users are called-on to become end-user developers of intelligent agents, digital twins, collaborative systems and social robots.
