From rsun at rpi.edu Wed Dec 5 10:06:49 2007 From: rsun at rpi.edu (Professor Ron Sun) Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 10:06:49 -0500 Subject: [ACT-R-users] Ph.D program in Cognitive Science at RPI Message-ID: <038393E4-617A-4CEB-8AF0-3461D3C5B075@rpi.edu> I am looking for a few Ph.D students. The Ph.D program of the Cognitive Science department at RPI is accepting applications. Graduate assistantships and other forms of financial support for graduate students are available. Prospective graduate students with interests in Cognitive Science, especially in cognitive architectures and in the relationship between cognition and sociality (social simulation), are encouraged to apply. Prospective applicants should have sufficient background in computer science (close to the equivalent of a BS in computer science), and have some prior exposure to psychology, artificial intelligence, connectionist models (neural networks), multi-agent systems, and other related areas. Students with a Master's degree already completed are preferred. RPI is a top-tier research university. The CogSci department has identified the Ph.D program and research as its primary missions. The department is conducting research in a number of areas: cognitive modeling, cognitive architectures, human and machine learning, multi-agent interactions and social simulation, neural networks and connectionist models, human and machine reasoning, cognitive engineering, and so on. See the Web page below regarding my research: http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/~rsun For the application procedure, see http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/ The application deadline is Jan.15. If you decide to apply, follow the official procedure as outlined on the Web page. Send me a short email AFTER you have completed the application. ======================================================== Professor Ron Sun Cognitive Science Department Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 110 Eighth Street, Carnegie 302A Troy, NY 12180, USA phone: 518-276-3409 fax: 518-276-3017 email: rsun at rpi.edu web: http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/~rsun ======================================================= From ELPWang at ntu.edu.sg Tue Dec 11 07:16:22 2007 From: ELPWang at ntu.edu.sg (Lipo WANG) Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:16:22 +0800 Subject: [ACT-R-users] ICNC'08-FSKD'08 Call for Papers: Jinan, China Message-ID: ** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The 4th International Conference on Natural Computation (ICNC'08) The 5th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD'08) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 25-27 August 2008, Jinan, China *** Submission Deadline: 25 March 2008 *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.icnc-fskd2008.sdu.edu.cn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call for Papers, Invited Sessions & Sponsorship The joint ICNC'08-FSKD'08 will be held in Jinan, China. Jinan is the capital of Shandong Province, which is known for the home of Confucius, the Taishan Mountain, and the Baotu Spring. ICNC'08-FSKD'08 aims to provide an international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of intelligent methods inspired from nature, including biological, ecological, and physical systems, with applications to data mining, manufacturing, design, and more. It is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of techniques and methods are being studied for dealing with large, complex, and dynamic problems. Previously, the joint conferences in 2005, 2006 and 2007 each attracted over 3000 submissions from more than 30 countries. All accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be indexed by both EI (Compendex) and ISTP. Further- more, extended versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of Soft Computing: An International Journal (SCI indexed). For more information, visit the conference web page or email the secretariat at nc2008 at sdu.edu.cn Join us at this major event in historic Jinan !!! ----- Lipo WANG School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Nanyang Technological University Block S1, 50 Nanyang Avenue, Singapore 639798 http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/elpwang Phone: +65 6790 6372?

You need to run (start-environment) first. It's described here: http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/actr6/QuickStart.txt I'm attaching what I have at the top of a model .lisp file, ready to execute from within Aquamacs or Emacs and SLIME. That way don't have to do all the steps by hand. (Btw, Start Environment is more difficult to quickly start via keyboard because it's not called "ACT-R Environment.app", like other applications.) You'll have to tweak the code to do things right in your environment (i.e. on Windows) of course.
