Participants are invited to present their ACT-R research by submitting a one-page abstract with their registration. Afternoons will feature more research presentations as well as discussion sessions and instructional tutorials. Suggestions for the topics of the tutorials and discussion sessions are welcome. Friday afternoon will feature a presentation by the invited speaker, John Laird from the University of Michigan. We expect to wrap up the workshop at around noon on Sunday.</div><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "> </p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Admission to the workshop is open to all.
