In light of the closing discussion at the ACT-R workshop, I thought that this might be of general interest.

CALL FOR PAPERS


Invitation to submit to the new electronic journal:


Journal of Cognitive Systems Research

For the complete list of editors, see http://cs.ua.edu/~rsun/journal.html



The Journal of Cognitive Systems Research covers all topics in the

study of cognitive processes, in both natural and artificial systems:


Problem-Solving and Cognitive Skills

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

Perception

Action

Memory

Learning

Language and Communication

Agents

Integrative Studies of Cognitive Systems


The journal emphasizes the integration/synthesis of ideas, concepts,

constructs, theories, and techniques from multiple paradigms, perspectives,

and disciplines, in the analysis, understanding and design of cognitive and

intelligent systems.  Contributions describing results obtained within

the traditional disciplines are also sought if such work has broader

implications and relevance.


The journal seeks to foster and promote the discussion of

novel approaches in studying cognitive and intelligent systems.

It also encourages cross-fertilization of disciplines,

by publishing high-quality contributions in all of the areas of study,

including artificial intelligence, linguistics, psychology, psychiatry,

philosophy, system and control theory, anthropology, sociology,

biological sciences, and neuroscience.


The scope of the journal includes the study of a variety of different

cognitive systems, at different levels, ranging from social/cultural

cognition, to individual cognitive agents, to components of such systems.

Of particular interest are theoretical, experimental, and integrative

studies and computational modeling  of cognitive systems,

at different levels of detail, and from different perspectives.




Please send submissions in POSTSCRIPT format by electronic mail to one

of the three co-Editors-in-Chief.


Note

The journal transends traditional disciplinary boundaries,

and considers contributions from all relevant disciplines and approaches.

The key is the quality of the work and the accessibility and relevance

to readers in  different disciplines.


The first issue of this new on-line journal, published by ElsevierScience,

will appear in early 1999.

In addition to this electronic journal the 1999 issues will also be printed

and bound as archival volume. Published papers will be considered

automatically for inclusion in  specially edited books on Cognitive

Systems Research.
