Not sure whether this really true.

Acapulco, Mexico (at IJCAI'2003) Computational models of cognitive agents that incorporate a wide range of cognitive functionalities (such as a variety of memory/representation, various types of learning, and sensory motor capabilities) have been developed in both AI and cognitive science. In AI, they appear under the rubric of intelligent agents and multi-agent systems. In cognitive science, they are often known as cognitive architectures. These strands of research provide useful paradigms for addressing some fundamental questions in AI and Cognitive Science. Artificial intelligence started out with the goal of designing functioning intelligent agents. However, faced with the enormous difficulty of the task, the focus has largely been on modeling specific aspects of intelligence, often in highly restricted domains. Nevertheless, some researchers have focused on putting the pieces together with the goal of designing autonomous agents. More important, there is a growing interest in multi-agent interactions that addresses issues of coordination and cooperation among cognitive agents. On the other side, traditionally, the main focus of research in cognitive science has been on specific components of cognition (e.g., perception, memory, learning, language). Recent developments in computational modeling of cognitive architectures provide new avenues for precisely specifying complex cognitive processes in tangible ways, thereby addressing foundational questions in cognitive science. Such developments need to be extended to multi-agent interactions and there are promising developments in this regard (see e.g. recent papers in this area in the journal Cognitive Systems Research). Against this background, this workshop seeks to bring together cognitive scientists and AI researchers, with a wide range of background and expertise, to discuss research problems in understanding cognition at the individual level as well as at the collective level.

Message-ID: <245656B34A151046B0997D34FA909F0FEF7407@FSQBGE06> Each year there is an ACT-R modeler's course held in conjunction with the ACT-R Workshop. Has there been any consideration of offering an ACT-R programmer's course that dropped down into the lisp code underlying ACT-R? The ACT-R modeler's course could, of course, be a pre-requisite for this course... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
