Soar Summer School for Cognitive Modeling

Greetings fellow FISI participant, The announcement below describes the summer school that I am organizing to teach how to do cognitive modeling with Soar. I am trying to distribute this information to as many cognitive scientists as possible. If there is someone that you know that might be interested, please forward the message. Thanks for your time, Peter --------------------- Peter M.

The summer school is most appropriate for cognitive scientists, including graduate students, faculty, and researchers who are interested in learning about cognitive modeling in Soar. There will be six full days of hands-on exercises and lectures. The main topics covered will include: the basic operation of Soar different uses of chunking for learning in Soar quantitative and qualitative cognitive modeling details of existing Soar cognitive models help with defining models for student-specific problems There will be a registration fee to cover the cost of meals and materials (tutorials, manuals, and associated readings). If you are interested in attending, contact Peter Hastings (peter(a)eecs.umich.edu) by April 1, 1996. We expect to have a total of 15 to 20 attendees.
