Papers may be either of a general kind, or specific, but with sufficient attention for the general aspects, and understandable for the audience from a wide variety of disciplines: - psychology (cognitive, developmental), perception, - artificial intelligence (general aspects), - associative memory and neural networks, neuroscience, - linguistics (also computational), disorders of language, - education and instruction, - philosophy, history of concepts, - man-machine systems, cognitive ergonomics. Experimental papers should be placed within a theoretical framework. Papers accepted for the workshop may be published in the journal of the ESSCS, 'Cognitive Systems'. Please send abstracts of papers as soon as possible. Last-minute participation is possible if room is available, but the number of papers is limited to 24, and the number of participants to about 40. Length of abstracts: between 20 and 40 lines (1-2 kByte), to be sent by ordinary mail, and possibly also by E-mail. The fee is ItL 50000 (about Euro/US$ 30 for members of the ESSCS, and ItL 70000 (about US$ 35 in Feb. 1999) for others, for students the fee is ItL 20000. Membership is NLG 25.- per annum, subscription to the Journal (Volume 5) is NLG 80.- for members, NLG 95.- for others, NLG 140.- for institutions. (one US$ and one Euro is about NLG 2.30).

NC'2000 aims to become a major point of contact for research scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world in the field of Neural Computation. Participants will share the latest research, developments and ideas in the wide arena of disciplines encompassed under the heading of NC'2000 as a follow-up of the most successful NC'98 conference in Vienna, Austria. NC'2000 will include invited plenary talks, contributed sessions, invited sessions, workhops and tutorials. The organization of invited sessions is encouraged. Prospective organizers are requested to send a session proposal (consisting of 4-5 invited papers, the recommended session-chair and co-chair, as well as a short statement describing the title and the purpose of the session to the Symposium Chairman or the Symposium Organizer. Invited sessions should preferably start with a tutorial paper. The registration fee of the session organizer will be waived, if at least 4 authors of invited papers register to the conference. Poster presentations are encouraged for people who wish to receive peer feedback and practical examples of applied research are particularly welcome. Poster sessions will allow the presentation and discussion of respective papers, which will also be included in the conference proceedings. Prospective authors are requested to either send a draft paper or an extended abstract for review by the International Program Committee. All papers must be written in English, starting with a succinct statement of the problem, the results achieved, their significance and a comparison with previous work. Submissions must be received by October 31, 1999. Regular papers, as well as poster presentations, tutorial papers and invited sessions are encouraged. The abstract should also include - Title of conference (NC'2000) - Type of paper (regular, poster, tutorial or invited) - Title of proposed paper - Authors names, affiliations, addresses - Name of author to contact for correspondence - E-mail address and fax # of contact author - Topics which best describe the paper (max. 5 keywords) - Short CV of authors (recommended) Contributions are welcome from those working in industry and having experience in the topics of this conference as well as from academics.

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.
