The four separate prizes will represent the best modeling work in the respective areas of: perception, language, higher-level cognition, and applied cognition. The prizes are open to researchers at any level (student, postdoc, research scientist, faculty) from any nationality. Any form of computational cognitive modeling relevant to cognitive science will be eligible, including (but not limited to) connectionism, symbolic, Bayesian, dynamic systems, or various hybrids.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">No special submission procedure is required---all full paper submissions to the conferences will be automatically considered, using the interdisciplinary program committee that is supervising the review process.
