Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan (Szechwan) Province in southwestern China, a modern metropolitan with 2310-year history and rich cultural heritage, featuring relaxing lifestyle, spicy Szechwan cuisine, and numerous historic and scenery sites nearby including three UNESCO World Heritages (two cultural heritages: Dujiangyan--Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain--Leshan Giant Buddha, one natural heritage: Jiuzhaigou--Huanglong). ISNN 2006 aims to provide a high-level international forum for scientists, engineers, and educators to present the state of the art of neural network research and applications in diverse fields. The symposium will feature plenary speeches given by worldwide renowned scholars, regular sessions with broad coverage, and some special sessions focusing on popular topics. Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers (6 pages normally and 10 pages maximum) by the submission deadline. Potential organizers are also invited to enlist five or more papers with cohesive topics to form special sessions. The submission of a paper implies that the paper is original and has not been submitted under review or copyright protected elsewhere and will be presented by an author if accepted. All submitted papers will be refereed by experts in the field based on the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and clarity. The authors of accepted papers will have an opportunity to revise their papers and take consideration of the referees' comments and suggestions. All papers accepted and presented at ISNN2006 will be published by Springer as multiple volumes of Lecture Notes in Computer Science which are indexed by SCI-Expanded. ISNN2006 has teamed up with the International Journal of Neural Systems (IJNS), one of the distinguished journals on neural networks, for publishing a Special Issue on Advances in Neural Networks. All submitted papers will have opportunities for consideration for this Special Issue. The selection will be carried out during the review process as well as at the conference presentation stage. The Editor-in-Chief of IJNS and the guest editors of the Special Issues will make decisions on submitted papers based referees' comments and recommendations, as well as quality and presentation of the papers, and select around twenty five papers. Authors of selected outstanding papers will be asked to substantially extend and revise their papers with additional original materials for further rounds of peer review under the practice of IJNS. These papers must be extended and updated in a significant and substantive way so that the amount of overlap between symposium paper and journal submission is no more than 50%. Prospective authors should submit their manuscripts directly to the guest editors before the deadline with a copy to the Editor-in-Chief. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal for publication. The final decision will be made based on peer review reports by the guest editors of the special issue and the Editor-in-Chief jointly.

We get frequent complements on how useful this resource is but I have to confess, as the community grows, it is becoming more and more difficult to keep it up to date. I would urge you to go to our web site and confirm that you are listed there (if you want to be) and if you are listed there we have all of your most recent publications. You may find that we have been able to keep up with you but quite likely we have not. Would you let us know about anything that needs updating at the web site.

Tutorial topics will be presented in a taught format and range from practical guidelines to academic issues and theory. This is the eighth year that tutorials in this format will be offered. Tutorial participants will be from a wide range of the cognitive sciences, but they will be looking for insights into their own areas and summaries of other areas providing tools, techniques, and results to use in their own teaching and research. Tutorials must present well established results, yesterday's results from your lab are not encouraged. They will tend to involve an introduction to technical skills or methods (e.g., cognitive modeling in ACT-R, Bayesian modeling, eyetracking, fMRI, methods of analyzing qualitative observational data). They are likely to include substantial review of material. DURATION: Each tutorial is designed to be a half-day or full-day in duration. Half-day tutorials are about 3 hours long (not including breaks). Full day tutorials are about 6 hours long (not including breaks). Please indicate the duration of your proposed tutorial in your application. AUDIENCE: Most tutorials should be at the introductory graduate school level or higher. That is, the tutorials should be accessible to postgraduate students, but should also assume a first degree in one of the cognitive sciences. REVIEW PROCESS: Tutorial proposals will be evaluated by the tutorial committee on the basis of their estimated benefit for prospective participants and on their fit within the tutorials program as a whole. Factors to be considered include relevance, importance, and audience appeal; suitability for presentation in a half-day or full-day tutorial format; use of presentation methods that offer participants direct experience with the material being taught; how much they might help unify cognitive science; teaching a skill or covering a topic that would not have another outlet; and past experience and qualifications of the instructors with their tutorial. Selection is also based on the overall distribution of topics, approaches (overview, theory, methodology, how-to), audience experience levels, and specialties of the intended audiences. PROPOSAL: If you want to submit a proposal, please follow the instructions at: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/keller/cogsci06/tutorials/ COMPENSATION: A budget of $125 will be awarded for each half-day tutorial that is taught, $250 for each full-day. If a tutorial has two or more instructors, the budget will be shared among them. Tutors will not be charged for attending their own tutorial. Tutors may bring a helper to the tutorial at no cost. WORKSHOP PROPOSALS The purpose of pre-conference workshops is to provide organizers and participants with an opportunity for an in-depth discussion on a specific topic important to cognitive science in general. Workshops can choose to concentrate on emerging research or cross-disciplinary topics, but can also discuss application issues. Workshop notes should be assembled by the workshop organizers based on the input from workshop presenters. The workshop notes should be made available to workshop participants in printed form by the organizers themselves. They will use the same format as the proceedings of the main session of the Cognitive Science Conference, but will be distributed separately. DURATION: Each workshop is designed to be a half-day or full-day in duration. Half-day workshops are about 3 hours long (not including breaks). Full day workshops are about 6 hours long (not including breaks). Please indicate the duration of your proposed workshop in your application. REVIEW PROCESS: Each workshop proposal should contain all the information that the workshop chairs and the program committee need to judge the importance and quality of the workshop and the interest in the proposed topic. Each workshop may have one or more designated organizers and, possibly, a workshop program committee. Workshop organizers need to set up their own web site with the workshop materials, to be linked to from the Cognitive Science Conference web site. PROPOSAL: If you want to submit a proposal, please follow the instructions at: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/keller/cogsci06/workshops/ IMPORTANT DATES February 1, 2006: Submissions due at 5:00pm GMT March 15, 2006: Notification of acceptance or rejection April 15, 2006: Camera-ready abstract copy due for inclusion in proceedings TUTORIAL AND WORKSHOP CHAIRS Frank Keller (University of Edinburgh) Michael Schoelles (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) PROGRAM COMMITTEE Erik M.

Colleagues, We are seeking submissions for a 2006 AAAI Spring Symposium entitled: "Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Cognitive Science Principles Meet AI-Hard Problems". The goal of the symposium is to generate discussion and exchange about the benefits the study of human intelligence can bring to AI and, as importantly, what AI can contribute to the study of human intelligence, focusing especially on computationally hard problems. A description of the symposium may be found at the AAAI SSS website: http://www.aaai.org/Symposia/Spring/2006/sssparticipation-06.html#ss02 A slightly expanded description of the symposium is attached. Participant submissions are due *October 7, 2005*. Contributions can be in the form of either 6-page papers or short 2-page white papers. Papers should take positions on one or more of the questions posed in the symposium description, using examples from the author(s)'s own work or synthesizing other works into coherent patterns. Notification of acceptance will be given in early November. The workshop will be structured in a number of sessions each centered around one of the organizing questions. Each session will include a substantial discussion session between panel presenters and workshop participants. The 2006 AAAI Spring Symposia will be held March 27-29, 2006 at Stanford University, California. Additional details about the AAAI Spring Symposia may be found via the URL above.
