I have been invited to join the programme committee of the following
symposium, which seems quite interesting for people working on the
self-organization of distributed cognition...
Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2004 16:06:32 -0500
Subject: Invitation to AMKLC'05
From: "Ann Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The special symposium on
Adaptive Models of Knowledge, Language and Cognition. AMKLC'05
will be organized as part of AKRR'05, an International and
Interdisciplinary Conference on Adaptive Knowledge Representation and
Reasoning, that will be held in Espoo, Finland, June 15-17, 2005.
The AMKLC'05 symposium focuses on emergence, complexity and
self-organization in cognitive and social systems: how knowledge is
being created and established within human and computer-mediated
networks and the role of language as an adaptive medium for knowledge
building. Following researchers like Maturana, Varela, Von Foerster,
Gardenfors, Glenberg, MacWhinney, Steels and many others, the
symposium encourages investigation on the relationship between
knowledge, language and cogntion. An underlying assumption for the
symposium is
that in order to analyze, model and understand the individual
cognitive and social level of knowledge formation and the role of
language in such contexts, one has to take into account underlying
dynamic adaptation processes and the embodied nature of cogniton.
For your information, the important dates for AMKCL'05 are as follows:
- Paper submission due: 29 January 2005
- Acceptance notification: 14 March 2005
- Deadline for early registration: 21 March 2005
- Camera-ready paper due: 8 April 2005
- Symposia and conference: 15-17 June 2005
