<div><br></div>
<div><font color="#007700"><b>THEME</b></font></div>
<div>ICCM brings researchers together who develop computational models
that explain/predict cognitive data. The core theme of ICCM2004 is<b>
Integrating Computational Models</b>: models that integrate diverse
data; integration across modeling approaches; and integration of
teaching and modeling.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>ICCM2004 seeks to grow the discipline of computational cognitive
modeling.</div>
<div>Towards this end, it will provide</div>
<div>- a sophisticated modeling audience for cutting-edge
researchers</div>
<div>- critical information on the best computational modeling
teaching resources for teachers of the next generation of
modelers</div>
<div>- 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.</div>
<div>- a venue for planning the future growth of the discipline</div>
<div><br></div>

size="+1"> DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: April 1st
2004</font></b></font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><i>Papers and Posters</i></div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><i>Comparative Symposia</i></div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><i>Newell Prize for Best Student Paper</i></div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><i>The Best Applied Research Paper Award</i></div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><i>Doctoral Consortium</i></div>
<div>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
(this year, David Touretzky and Wayne Gray). Student participants
receive complimentary conference registration as well as lodging and
travel reimbursement---maximum amounts will be determined at a later
date.</div>
