CfP: Workshop on Computational Models of Cognition

by csibra＠cogpsyphy.hu

--- Forwarded message follows --- From: sd351(a)city.ac.uk (GRANT A S) Subject: CfP: Workshop on Computational Models of Cognition Date: 10 Jan 94 14:33:58 GMT Computational Models of Cognition and Cognitive Functions ========================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS =============== A one-day workshop organised by S. Grant, & R. Cooper as part of the AISB 1994 Workshop Series 11th April 1994 Leeds University, England Abstract: The workshop will address two major issues. We hope firstly to survey the variety of symbolic cognitive models currently under development, and secondly to consider the methodological issues raised by the construction of such models within cognitive science. We will welcome submissions concerning computational models of cognition in complex tasks, in learning, in rich everyday activities, and in phenomena from clinical psychology. The workshop will focus on the study of architectures that are well-adapted to these areas, and in the methodology surrounding the construction of related models; including computational support for model construction. The emphasis is on models with a high degree of cognitive plausibility. Models of aspects of cognition are of interest but their role in complete systems should be addressed. Ideally, models should be related to real-world data (rather than simply that from the psychological laboratory). Required background: Participants should be familiar with the enterprise of symbolic modelling and the concepts involved. Ideally they should have some practical experience with the construction and validation of such models. A basic familiarity with PROLOG may be assumed by presenters. Discussion papers: In the first instance, send an abstract (email strongly preferred) of 100 to 300 words to the organisers, by 21st January 1994. They will select those that seem to have most synergy, and will invite submission of full draft discussion papers to those abstracts, by a deadline to be decided. The papers will be accepted for presentation on the basis of the full draft. Presenters will each be allocated one half hour in total, of which they are expected to use between 10 and 20 minutes in presentation. Non-presenters will be welcomed on the basis of how much they are likely to give to or take from the workshop. Please submit a short statement of research interest, noting any relevant publications. Registration fee (including cost of Monday lunch and materials): non-members AISB members General: #90 #60 Full-time students: #75 #45 If you are interested in this topic, even if you have no abstract ready or cannot come to the workshop, we would like to hear from you.

A school that treats CS as a branch of philosophy

by csibra＠cogpsyphy.hu

--- Forwarded message follows --- From: A.Sloman(a)cs.bham.ac.uk (Aaron Sloman) Subject: Re: Looking for a school that treats CS as a branch of philosophy Date: Wed, 5 Jan 1994 12:24:12 GMT Readers interested in studying in the UK may be interested to know that at the University of Birmingham several members of the School of Computer Science have PhDs in philosophy, and quite a lot of our research and teaching is philosophical (e.g. on the nature of representations, the architecture of a mind, the nature of motivation and emotions, etc.). We offer MSc degrees, PhD degrees and undergraduate degrees, all including opportunities for philosophical investigation. 1. We offer, in conjunction with the Schools of Psychology, English and Philosophy, a one year MSc degree in Cognitive Science which attempts to integrate Philosophy, Computing, AI, Psychology and Linguistics. Enquiries to Donald Peterson: Email: D.M.Peterson(a)cs.bham.ac.uk 2. We also offer an AI stream within a one year "conversion MSc" degree for people whose first degree was not computer science. (The other three streams are "Information Technology" for people without any previous computing experience, "Software engineering" and "IT and Electronic engineering" (I may have that last title wrong - typing it in from memory) taught in conjuction with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.) Enquiries concerning conversion MSc degrees to Sue Laflin Email: S.Laflin(a)cs.bham.ac.uk 3. We offer PhD research degrees in a variety of topics including philosophical foundations of computing and AI, cognitive science, software engineering, mathematical computer science, very large logic-based databases, HCI, etc. Enquiries to Peter Hancox: Email: P.J.Hancox(a)cs.bham.ac.uk 4. Finally we have started a variety of undergraduate degrees in AI in combination with several other disciplines, and these will all include an element of philosophy (you can't do AI properly without including philosophy). In october 1993 we started AI and Computer Science, and Psychology and AI degrees. On october 1994 Mathematics and AI will be added. Other combinations will follow including Education and AI. Philosophy can be combined with AI within the Arts faculty combined honours or general honours programmes.
