</span></b><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'">The Twenty-Second Annual ACT-R workshop will take place from
Friday July 17 to Sunday July 19, 2015 at Carnegie Mellon University. As in
past years, the workshop will consist of symposia, tutorial and talk sessions. Participants
are invited to present their ACT-R research by submitting a one-page abstract
with their registration. Suggestions for the topics of the tutorials and symposia
are requested. Friday afternoon will feature a presentation by an invited
speaker.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'">This year, the theme of the workshop is <b>Scaling Up</b>. While we have achieved
tremendous success developing limited-capacity, task-specific models, the
ultimate goal of generating models capable of broad, human-level, task-general
capabilities still largely eludes us.
The ACT-R community has explored numerous approaches to achieve that
goal, including instruction following, theories of learning and transfer (e.g.,
PRIM, IBL), model composition and generalization (e.g., supermodels), high-level
modeling languages (e.g., Herbal, HLSR), and integration with other cognitive
systems (e.g., robotics). The central
goal of the workshop is to better understand the reasons underlying the
challenges that we are facing and the relations between the various approaches aimed
at addressing them, and outline a roadmap to potential long-term solution(s). While we welcome presentations on all topics
relevant to ACT-R, please specify in your submission if your presentation is
related to this theme and if so how. Also feel free to propose tutorials and suggest
specific symposia topics related to the workshop theme.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'">Admission to the workshop is open to all. The early

Requests for presentations should be submitted before <b>June 1</b> to receive full consideration for inclusion in the workshop
