Sixth International Conference of Cognitive Modeling
ICCM-2004 http://simon.lrdc.pitt.edu/~iccm To be held July 29 - August 1, 2004, in Pittsburgh, USA (jointly between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh). THEME ICCM brings researchers together who develop computational models that explain/predict cognitive data. The core theme of ICCM2004 is Integrating Computational Models: models that integrate diverse data; integration across modeling approaches; and integration of teaching and modeling. ICCM2004 seeks to grow the discipline of computational cognitive modeling. Towards this end, it will provide - a sophisticated modeling audience for cutting-edge researchers - critical information on the best computational modeling teaching resources for teachers of the next generation of modelers - a forum for integrating insights across alternative modeling approaches (including connectionism, symbolic modeling, dynamical systems, Bayesian modeling, and cognitive architectures) in both basic research and applied settings, across a wide variety of domains, ranging from low-level perception and attention to higher-level problem-solving and learning. - a venue for planning the future growth of the discipline INVITED SPEAKERS Kenneth Forbus (Northwestern University) Michael Mozer (University of Colorado at Boulder) SUBMISSION CATEGORIES --- DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: April 1st 2004 Papers and Posters Papers and posters will follow the 6-page 10-point double-column single-spaced US-letter format used by the Annual Cognitive Science Society Meeting. Formatting templates and examples will be made available on the website. The research being presented at ICCM-2004 will appear in the conference proceedings. The proceedings will contain 6-page extended descriptions for paper presentations and 2-page extended abstracts for poster presentations. There will also be an opportunity to attach model code and simulation results in an electronic form. Comparative Symposia Three to five participants submit a symposium in which they all present models relating to the same domain or phenomenon. The participants must agree upon a set of fundamental issues in their domain that all participants must address or discuss. Parties interested in putting a comparative symposia proposal together are highly encouraged to do so well before the April 1st deadline and will be given feedback shortly after submission. Please see the website for additional information. Newell Prize for Best Student Paper Award given to the paper first-authored by a student that provides the most innovative or complete account of cognition in a particular domain. The winner of the award will receive full reimbursement for the conference fees, lodging costs, and a $1,000 stipend. The Best Applied Research Paper Award To be eligible, 1) the paper should capture behavioral data not gathered in the psychology lab OR the paper should capture behavioral data in a task that has high external validity; 2) the best paper is the one that one from this category that provides the most innovative or complete solution to a real-world, practical problem. Doctoral Consortium Full-day session 1 day prior to main conference for doctoral students to present dissertation proposal ideas to one another and receive feedback from experts from a variety of modeling approaches. Student participants receive complimentary conference registration as well as lodging and travel reimbursement---maximum amounts will be determined at a later date.
