EXTENDING COMPUTATIONAL COGNITIVE MODELLING TO ISSUES OF
MULTI-AGENT
INTERACTION
in conjunction with ICAI'07, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (June
25-28, 2007)
Call for Papers
The fields of cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and the
social
sciences can together create a better understanding of cognition
and social
processes than they can independently of each other. Some efforts
in social
sciences, especially social simulations, have evolved an
understanding of
social processes in societies independently from the other two fields.
However Sun (2006) among other has shown that there is relation
between
individual cognition and social processes. Can this connection be
understood
by exploring the relationship between computational cognitive
modeling and
social simulation? How is the cognition of a society different from
individual cognition? In this session we will examine these
questions and
many more. We invite submissions of research that investigate any
of the
following topics: (1) the relation between individual and social
cognition,
(2) multi-agent models that are related to advances in individual
cognition,
(3) social simulations that utilize cognitive science or artificial
intelligence techniques, (4) aspects of social cognition that require
modeling, and (5) the integration of cognitive models of learning into
multi-agent interaction.

Submission of Papers
Authors are invited to submit their draft paper (between 5 to 7
pages -
single space, font size of 10 to 12) to Sule Yildirim
([EMAIL PROTECTED])
or Bill Rand ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) before the deadline. E-mail
submissions in MS document or PDF formats are preferable. All
reasonable
typesetting formats are acceptable. These are general guidelines,
if you
would like to submit in a different format please contact the
coordinators.
Papers must not have been previously published or current submitted
for
publication elsewhere. Upon acceptance authors will be asked to
follow the
IEEE style format in preparing their papers for publication (max. 7
pages).
The first page of the submission should include:
-Title of the paper
-Name, affiliation, postal address, e-mail address, telephone
number and fax
number for each author
-Name of the author who will present the paper should be indicated
-A maximum of five keywords
Session Format
The session will begin with an overview of the topic by the
coordinators,
and the peer-reviewed papers will then be orally presented. If
time permits
a wrap-up discussion will take place at the end of the session.
Important Dates
Submission deadline: 1 March, 2007.
Notification of acceptance: 20 March, 2007.
Camera-ready due: 20 April, 2007.
