Modern software engineering has established sophisticated tools and workflows that enable distributed development of high-quality software. Here, we present our experiences in adopting these workflows to collectively develop, maintain, and use research software, specifically: a modeling framework for complex and evolving systems. We exemplify how sharing this modeling framework within our research group helped conveying software engineering best practices, fostered cooperation, and boosted synergies. Together, these experiences illustrate that the adoption of modern software engineering workflows is feasible in the dynamically changing academic context, and how these practices facilitate reliability, reproducibility, reusability, and sustainability of research software, ultimately improving the quality of the resulting scientific output.

this book constitutes the proceedings of the 9thinternational and interdisciplinaryconference on modeling and usingcontext, 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, contextmodeling 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.

this article studies incremental prediction in the context of of a previously contributed model of the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal gland (HPA) axis based on the particle filter algorithm. the model considers individual-level circadian rhythm in the context of three coupled nonlinear differential equations of the HPA axis, including Corticotropin-Releasing hormone (CRH), Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACth), and Cortisol as state variables. A particle filter approach is proposed to estimate and sample from model state in the context of incoming data in the context of non-linearity, non-Gaussian behavior, as well as stochastic parameters and process noise. the simulation results suggests a high potential for use of particle filtering in prediction of HPA axis state in the context of periodically incoming data.

In this paper, I discuss ways where context can help to explain why the No True Scotsman 'Fallacy' may not always be fallacious. I discuss different focus areas of context from speaker's meaning, the syntactical position of the inserted term 'true', to dialectical contexts involving dialogues about classification and definition.

We extend the contextual-Graphs formalism for modeling interaction in a group activity. Group activity is modeled as the cyclic traversing of a contextual meta-graph representing the group activity in terms of member activities, and of the shared context as a hub for interaction management. We propose a model of group-member interaction at the level of the transitions between turns. the model relies on the representation of members' activities in terms of independent tasks that are structured by simulation parameters in the shared context.

this paper discusses the requirements of situation identification in the Internet of things and the necessity to consider the quality of the input context data during the inference process for deriving a situation and evaluating its resulting quality. We propose to extend previous works by integrating the QoCIM meta-model within the muSIC framework dedicated to situation identification. Situation identification is derived using an ontological approach and Quality criteria are aggregated usingthe fuzzy Choquet operator for computing the quality of a situation. this paper shows that QoCIM allows to model quality of context (QoC) as well as quality of situation in a unified approach.

Information systems are important technological allies on the organization context. In emergency situations, they can be even more necessary. Classical information system specification approaches do not focus in relevant aspects of sociotechnical relations. they adopt simplified ways to represent reality and do not consider functional interactions between equipment, procedures and human resources of sociotechnical systems. In consequence, technological devices become insufficient in the capacity to respond to disaster situations. the focus of this work is to propose a discussion that contributes to create a heuristic approach to better define system requirements. the goal is to combine contextmodeling methods and human factors to model complex interactions in emergency situations.

the quality of context information is still one of the most overlooked factors by developers and end-users, and this makes context-aware applications less reliable. While there is recent work in this area that focuses on identifying and modeling relevant quality parameters for context information, software developers still have not yet adopted these solutions at large because they do not offer the right set of abstractions that they are familiar with. this paper presents model and language constructs, as well as software engineering tools to address these quality of context concerns. We demonstrate our overarching solution on a non-trivial Ambient Assisted Living scenario involving assistance services for the elderly supported by indoor localization technologies.

through successfully applying the contextual-Graph formalism in many fields (e.g. medicine, transport, and military), the need for an alternative visualization was recurrently encountered. Decision makers require: (1) a visual representation that clusters all the contextual information needed to develop a practice, and (2) a representation that allows them to easily identify each practice output. Either if this output corresponds to a real object (e.g. a medical image), or an object of the reasoning (e.g. a strategy for highway driving). this paper presents the response to decision-makers needs: the Practice Tree view, which is the result of transforming a contextual graph into a tree that complies the described requirements.
