<DIV>ECM_MAI 2007<BR><BR> EXTENDING COMPUTATIONAL
COGNITIVE MODELLING TO ISSUES OF
MULTI-AGENT<BR>INTERACTION<BR> in conjunction with
ICAI'07, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (June 25-28, 2007)<BR><BR><BR>Call for
Papers<BR>The fields of cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and the
social<BR>sciences can together create a better understanding of cognition and
social<BR>processes than they can independently of each other. Some efforts in
social<BR>sciences, especially social simulations, have evolved an understanding
of<BR>social processes in societies independently from the other two
fields.<BR>However Sun (2006) among other has shown that there is relation
between<BR>individual cognition and social processes. Can this connection be
understood<BR>by exploring the relationship between computational cognitive
modeling and<BR>social simulation? How is the cognition of a society different
from<BR>individual cognition? In this session we will examine these questions
and<BR>many more. We invite submissions of research that investigate any
of the<BR>following topics: (1) the relation between individual and social
cognition,<BR>(2) multi-agent models that are related to advances in individual
cognition,<BR>(3) social simulations that utilize cognitive science or
artificial<BR>intelligence techniques, (4) aspects of social cognition that
require<BR>modeling, and (5) the integration of cognitive models of learning
into<BR>multi-agent interaction.<BR><BR> (Sun, R., 2006) Cognition and

Press.<BR><BR>Submission of Papers<BR>Authors are invited to submit their draft
paper (between 5 to 7 pages -<BR>single space, font size of 10 to 12) to Sule
Yildirim (<A href="">suley@osir.hihm.no</A>)<BR>or Bill Rand (<A
href="">wrand@northwestern.edu</A>) before the deadline. E-mail<BR>submissions
in MS document or PDF formats are preferable. All reasonable<BR>typesetting
formats are acceptable. These are general guidelines, if you<BR>would like to
submit in a different format please contact the coordinators.<BR>Papers must not
have been previously published or current submitted for<BR>publication
elsewhere. Upon acceptance authors will be asked to follow the<BR>IEEE style
format in preparing their papers for publication (max. 7 pages).<BR>The first
page of the submission should include:<BR><BR>-Title of the paper<BR>-Name,
affiliation, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number and fax<BR>number
for each author<BR>-Name of the author who will present the paper should be
indicated<BR>-A maximum of five keywords<BR><BR>Session Format<BR>The session
will begin with an overview of the topic by the coordinators,<BR>and the
peer-reviewed papers will then be orally presented. If time permits<BR>a
wrap-up discussion will take place at the end of the session.<BR><BR>Important
