SIXTH ANNUAL ACT-R WORKSHOP
===================================================
George Mason University - August 6 to 9 1999
===================================================
ACT-R is a cognitive theory and simulation system for developing cognitive
models for tasks that vary from simple reaction time to air traffic
control. Each year a workshop is held to enable current users to exchange
results and ideas. The sixth Annual ACT-R Workshop will be held at George
Mason University, outside of Washington, DC from August 6 to 9 1999.
Current users, potential users, and knowledgeable observers of cognitive
science are invited to attend.
The workshop will take place from the evening of Friday, August 6 through
the afternoon of Monday August 9.
The pre-workshop will begin Friday morning with a one-day tutorial
introduction to ACT-R. The tutorial is suitable for users of other modeling
systems as well as for knowledgeable observers of cognitive science. (There
is an additional $75 fee for the tutorial.)
A reception and poster session will be held Friday evening. Saturday,
Sunday, and Monday mornings will be devoted to a series of research
presentations, each lasting from 15 to 30 minutes. Afternoons will feature
discussion sessions and instructional tutorials. Evenings will be occupied
by demonstration sessions during which participants can gain a more
detailed knowledge of the models presented and engage in unstructured
discussions.
Admission to the workshop is open to all. (The registration fee will be
announced at a later time. Reduced rates will be available to students.)
KEY DATES:
All papers, posters, demonstrations, and tutorial attendees: a notice of
"intent" to participate is due ASAP but at least before June 15th.
Posters and Demonstrations: Abstract due July 1st. One-page, camera-ready
copy due August 1st.
Papers: Two-page abstract due June 15th. Camera-ready copy is due August 1st.
Registration: Dates for early and late registration will be announced at a
later time. (http://hfac.gmu.edu/~actr99)
Attendees are encouraged to submit by email a notice of "intent to
participate" as soon as possible but prior to June 15th. The notice should
be short (less than one email page or < 250 words) and should contain the
following information. Category (spoken paper, poster, demonstration,
tutorial, or observer). Title, description, and other details are optional
as long as the total length is less than 250 words. The purpose of the
"intent to participate" is to aid the organizers in planning. It will not
be regarded as a commitment to attend.
Spoken Papers: Spoken presentations can be up to 30 min in length.
Researchers are invited to submit a 1-2 page extended abstract (500-1000
words) by June 15th. Preference will be given to running ACT-R models,
ACT-R as a modeling language, modeling issues or techniques, models with
empirical data, or empirical data pertaining to some aspect of the ACT-R
theory. These papers will be reviewed and published (as is or in longer
form) in the workshop proceedings. Selections will be announced by July
15th. Up to 8 pages will be published in the proceedings. The 8 pages may
include an abstract plus slides or a complete paper. Camera-ready copy must
be submitted by August 1st if it is to be included in the workshop
proceedings. (The format for the extended abstracts and papers will follow
that used for the Cognitive Science Conference. Templates will be available
from http://hfac.gmu.edu/~actr99 at a later time.)
Posters: All attendees may give a poster presentation. Poster abstracts
will not be reviewed. A notice of "intent to participate" should be sent as
soon as possible but prior to June 15th. A one page abstract will be
published in the proceedings if submitted prior to August 1st. (The format
for the abstracts will follow that used for the Cognitive Science
Conference. Templates will be available from http://hfac.gmu.edu/~actr99 at
a later time.)
Demonstrations are solicited for running models, power tools for modelers,
or other types of executable systems of interests to the modeling
community. A notice of "intent to participate" should be sent as soon as
possible but prior to June 15th. A one page abstract will be published in
the proceedings if submitted prior to August 1st. (The format for the
abstracts will follow that used for the Cognitive Science Conference.
Templates will be available from http://hfac.gmu.edu/~actr99 at a later
time.)
Suggestions for the topics of the discussion sessions or for tutorials on
some aspect of ACT-R are welcomed. Topics do not have to be limited to
ACT-R, but may include general issues dealing with some aspect of
computational cognitive modeling or unified theories of cognition.
On campus housing and reduced rates at local hotels will be available.
Details concerning the registration for the workshop and for housing will
be announced at a later date. Additional information (detailed schedule,
etc.) will appear on the Human Factors and Applied Cognitive Web site
(http://hfac.gmu.edu/~actr99) when available or can be requested at:
