DESCRIPTION:Session description\n\nIn the era of advanced Information and C
 ommunication Technologies (ICT)\, digital ecosystems are increasingly inte
 rconnected\, requiring the management of complex interactions among humans
 \, artificial systems\, and heterogeneous technological infrastructures. T
 hese interactions occur not only between people and systems\, but also amo
 ng autonomous systems operating within dynamic and evolving environments.\
 n\nContext awareness has become a fundamental capability in such environme
 nts. It refers to the ability of systems to perceive\, interpret\, and exp
 loit contextual information related to entities\, operational conditions\,
  and environmental situations in order to support adaptive and intelligent
  behaviors. Context is no longer limited to user or device states\, but ex
 tends to organizational\, operational\, and systemic dimensions.\n\nWithin
  the framework of Industry 4.0 and emerging Industry 5.0 paradigms\, intel
 ligent systems must integrate decision intelligence and knowledge engineer
 ing approaches to ensure interoperability\, coordination\, and effective s
 ystem integration. This special session addresses scientific and engineeri
 ng challenges related to decision processes\, knowledge representation\, s
 ystem integration\, and context-aware interactions among devices\, applica
 tions\, cyberphysical systems\, and System-of-Systems architectures.\n\nTh
 is special session therefore aims to investigate theoretical foundations\,
  modeling approaches\, and engineering methodologies for decision processe
 s\, knowledge representation\, semantic interoperability\, and context-awa
 re system integration within complex socio-technical environments.\n\nIMPO
