ABSTRACT
Motivation -- Highly adaptive technologies are becoming common use: Mobile applications are situation-aware, web applications are personalized, search engines follow individual needs etc. Behind all the implementations certain models of cognitive processes are applied.
Research approach -- How do those models look like. how do user profiles or functional roles come into being? How can situation awareness be achieved? Looking across disciplines and applications might help to find common grounds or modelling guidelines.
Findings/Design -- The workshop should shed light on conceptual cornerstones, basic assumptions, and design patterns arising from these constituents.
Research limitations/Implications -- Designers learn about possible models of agency and situation, their disciplinary ground and application context.
Originality/Value -- It might be the first interdisciplinary discourse on that topic inducing further research, e.g. ontology-based design.
Take away message -- Agency and situation are constructs influencing design, either implicitly or in a transparent or traceable way.

Ontology-based situation awareness
The notions of ''situation'' and ''situation awareness'' have been formulated by many authors in various contexts. In this paper, we present a formalization of situations that is compatible with the interpretation of situation awareness in terms of ...
