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.
