CFP: Cognitive Science Conference 1999 (fwd)

COGNITIVE SCIENCE SOCIETY CONFERENCE Call for Papers and Proposals We are pleased to announce the twenty-first annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Society on August 19-21, 1999. The conference site is Vancouver, British Columbia, on the downtown campus of Simon Fraser University. Our goal in organizing this conference is to reflect the full spectrum of the many research areas in Cognitive Science. We welcome all submissions, and trust that multiple research themes will emerge naturally. We are especially interested in submissions in areas that have been under represented at recent conferences. There are six categories for submissions: Spoken Papers: 20-minute spoken presentations; reviewed and published as six-page papers in the Proceedings. Submission length: up to 2000 words. Symposia: Two-hour spoken presentations, including three or more well-integrated talks on a common topic; reviewed and published as one-page abstracts in the Proceedings. Submission length: up to 1000 words. Posters: Standard poster presentations; reviewed and published as 6-page papers in the Proceedings. Submission length: up to 2000 words. Abstract Posters: Poster presentations by full members of the Society only; not reviewed or published in the proceedings. Submission length: up to 500 words. Society members can submit abstracts for posters through March 6, 1999. Tutorials: Sessions devoted to technical tutorials may be offered. Possible topics include hidden Markov models, ACT model, cognitive task analysis, & fMRI. For more information, see http://www.psychology.nottingham.ac.uk/staff/ritter/ cogsci99/proposals.html Workshops: Sessions devoted to education in Cognitive Science may also be offered. Proposals for "how-to" sessions on undergraduate and graduate programs of study are requested. For more information, see http://depts.vassar.edu/~cogsci/Workshops.html Review Process: Submissions for spoken papers, standard posters, and symposia will be reviewed by these criteria: Technical/Theoretical Merit; Relevance to a Broad Audience of Cognitive Science Researchers; Clarity of Presentation; Significance; and Originality. *****All submissions will be refereed electronically. We require camera-ready paper copies only once accepted for publication. Information on electronic submission formats can be found at our conference website: http://www.sfu.ca/cogsci99/ Conference Chair: Prof. Martin Hahn Email: cogsci99(a)sfu.ca Postal Mail: CogSci99, c/o Philosophy Dept., Simon Fraser Univ., Vancouver, B.C., V5A 1S6 DEADLINE: All submissions must be received by FEBRUARY 6, 1999, for consideration.
