a cognitive theory and simulation system for developing cognitive models for
tasks that vary from simple reaction time paradigms to driving a car and air
traffic control. After a very successful first year, we will organize the
second European ACT-R Spring School and Workshop. There will be no regular US
summer school or workshop this year, but instead a post-graduate summer school
(16-19 July) just before the Cognitive Science conference (email Christian
Lebiere, <a href="mailto:cl@cmu.edu">cl@cmu.edu</a>, if you have not seen the announcement yet).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Spring

spring school will take place from Monday April 11 to Thursday April 14. After
an earlier call for applications, we have selected a group of students for a
"traditional summer school curriculum", and a group of more
experiences modelers who will join us to work on their own projects during
the week.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; ">European

European ACT-R workshop will take place from Friday April 15 to Saturday April
16. Both days will be devoted to research presentations, each lasting
about 20 minutes plus questions. Participants are invited to present
their ACT-R research by submitting a title and abstract with their
registration, which will be published online in informal proceedings. We are
also open for proposals for other types of contributions, for example small
symposia. We also want to set aside some time to discuss possibilities to
attract European funding. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Admission
to the workshop is open to all. The early registration fee is Euro 100 and the
late registration fee (after March 12) is Euro 150. Requests for presentations
should be submitted before February 28 to receive full consideration for
inclusion in the workshop program. A preliminary program of presentations
will be made available sometime in March. If, because of travel plans, an
earlier decision about a submission is required, please contact us. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; ">Housing</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial; "> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; "><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; ">We have
