Rejected message: sent to koglist(a)cogpsyphy.hu by RITTER(a)VPSYC.PSYCHOLOGY.NOTTINGHAM.AC.UK follows. Reason for rejection: sender not subscribed.---------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- ================================================================== CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS: ICCM-2000 Third International Conference on Cognitive Modelling Groningen, Netherlands, 23-25 March 2000, with optional tutorials on 22 March ------------------------------------------------------------------ Contributions are invited for the Third International Conference on Cognitive Modelling, to be held at the University of Groningen from 23 to 25 March 2000. This series of meetings was founded to encourage international, inter-disciplinary co-operation in the field of cognitive modelling. The first meeting, held in Berlin in November 1996, attracted about 60 researchers from Europe and USA working in artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, computer linguistics and philosophy of mind. The second meeting, held in Notthingham in April 1998, was equally successful with an attendance of around 70 researchers. Submissions are welcome on any aspect of the computer modelling of human cognition, but preference will be given to work which describes both a running computer model and its comparison to empirical data. Further information about this Call, about the format for submissions, and about the Conference itself can be found at the conference Web site: http://tcw2.ppsw.rug.nl/iccm/ Contributions can take the form of papers, posters, proposals for symposia, or tutorials. PAPERS Papers can be submitted electronically to J.Aasman(a)research.kpn.com in one of the following formats: - Plain text - pdf - html - Word 7 Put ICCM in the subject line of you email. Submissions will be confirmed within 3 workdays. Your submission should arrive before 5pm on 15 December 1999. Since the final paper consist of no more than 8 pages, restrict your submission to around 4000 words or less if you include figures. For the final submission hardcopy is required: email and fax submissions are not acceptable. Papers should include a cover page giving the name and contact information of the first author, and stating any requirements for audio-visual equipment. The paper itself should consist of not more than 8 sides of A4 or US (8.5" x 11") paper, set in 10 point type in two columns. For detailed formatting instructions, sample pages, and templates for word processing, please consult the Web page as given above. POSTERS Work can be submitted as a poster which for any reason is better presented as a poster than as a written paper and talk. To submit a poster, please send an abstract of up to two pages (1000 words) using the same guidelines as under papers. Authors of accepted posters will be invited to address the audience for three minutes as part of a "poster mania" session, in order to whet the audience's appetite and encourage them to visit the poster. SYMPOSIA By a symposium, we mean a session of related work on a particular topic. The session can take any of several different forms: some short presentations followed by a discussion, a panel discussion, a debate, and so on. The length of a symposium session is flexible, but by default would be 90 minutes. If you would like to organise a symposium, send us a proposal outlining your ideas and the names of the contributors, by no later than 1st December. If the proposal is accepted, we will work with you to try to ensure the success of the symposium, but you will be responsible for arranging and running it. SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS Cognitive modellers tend to work in many areas of cognitive science. In order to promote coorperation in these areas, we're planning a number of Special Interest Groups on a number of themes. The idea is to have modellers in specific areas discuss the main problems they have encountered and possible solutions to these problems. Possible areas are: - Complex skill acquisition - Language - Cognitive Development - Implicit learning - Human Computer Interaction - Eye and hand coordination and external tasks - and so on If you have any ideas for themes, please contact the organizers. We'll include the final list in the call for participation, and will schedule those SIG's for which there is sufficient interest. TUTORIALS There will be one-day tutorials offered on various cognitive modeling techniques. If you would like to organize a tutorial, please contact one of the organizers as soon as possible. PROCEEDINGS Papers will be published in proceedings that will be handed out at start of the conference.
