[please forward to Lapsus or your list related to GDR I3-fer]
This is based on the International Cognitive Modeling Conference
mailing list that I maintain. I forward messages about twice a year.
(this is the second one for ICCM 2013, and it's late.)
The first announcement is driving this email -- the call for papers
for ICCM 2013 in Ottawa with a new due date. The rest indicate new
publication outlets and jobs in Cog Sci and in cognitive modeling.
If you would like to be removed, please just let me know. I maintain
it by hand to keep it small.
I've added a conflict of interest note to each item. I've become more
aware of CoI recently. (As an aside, PSU's web site requires exact
dollar amounts for each stock owned and consulting fees, does yours?
PSU says most universities do, and I know of none that do. Happy to
correspond on this.)
cheers,

The conference will be held from 11 to 14 July 2013 in Ottawa, Canada
at Carleton Universitat. The tutorials will be held 11 July 2013.
We hope to see you in Ottawa!
The International Conference on Cognitive Modeling (ICCM) is the
premier conference for research on computational models and
computation-based theories of human behavior. ICCM is a forum for
presenting, discussing, and evaluating the complete spectrum of
cognitive modeling approaches, including connectionism, symbolic
modeling, dynamical systems, Bayesian modeling, and cognitive
architectures. ICCM includes basic and applied research, across a wide
variety of domains, ranging from low-level perception and attention to
higher-level problem-solving and learning.
The chairs are:
Robert L. West <robert_west at carleton.ca>

The Tutorials program at the International Conference on Cognitive
Modeling (ICCM) 2013 will be held on 11 July 2013. It will provide
conference participants with the opportunity to gain new insights,
knowledge, and skills from a broad range of areas in the field of
cognitive modeling. Tutorial topics will be presented in a taught
format and are likely to range from practical guidelines to
theoretical issues or software. Tutorials at ICCM have been held many
times before, and this year's program will be modelled after them and
after the series held at the Cognitive Science Conference.

3. BRIMS 2013, likely to be held concurrent with ICCM 2013
http://brimsconference.org/
This is written by Ritter. I thought I should note that BRIMS 2013
was not held in San Antonio as planned. The government sequestation
and a general ban by governmetn agencie on travel lead to the
conference not (yet) being held. It looks like currently that much of
the BRIMS program will be absorbed into the ICCM meeting in Ottawa.
Details are still being arranged, but it looks like ICCM will be
bigger and have a wider program than has been typical. What will
happen in future years will evolve based on how funding and government
stories proceed over the course of this year.

http://www.frankritter.com/rbs/sage-30pc-flyer.pdf
Running Behavioral Experiments With Human Participants: A Practical
Guide (Ritter, Kim, Morgan & Carlson, 2013) provides a concrete,
practical roadmap for the implementation of experiments and controlled
observation using human participants. Covering both conceptual and
practical issues critical to implementing an experiment, the book is
organized to follow the standard process in experiment-based research,
covering such issues as potential ethical problems, risks to validity,
experimental setup, running a study, and concluding a study.
The detailed guidance on each step of an experiment is ideal for those
in both universities and industry who have had little or no previous
practical training in research methodology. The book provides example
scenarios to help readers organize how they run experimental studies
and anticipate problems, and example forms that can serve as effective
initial "recipes." Examples and forms are drawn from areas such as
cognitive psychology, human factors, human-computer interaction, and
human-robotic interaction.

We propose a Symposium on Integrated Cognition - consolidating
the functionality and phenomena implicated in natural minds/brains
(whether in human or other animal bodies) and/or artificial cognitive
systems (whether in virtual humans, intelligent agents or intelligent
robots) ... The focus is on how the mind arises from the interaction
of its constituent parts, and includes everything implicated in
human(-level) performance in complex, possibly social, environments.
...
In addition to contributed papers/talks, we will also include a number
of crosscutting panels on important topics in integrated cognition,
... possibilities that have been suggested include:
* Approaches to studying integrated cognition
* Approaches to building integrated cognition
* Approaches to integration in integrated cognition
* Combining natural and artificial approaches to integrated cognition
* Integration across levels of cognition
* Alternative substrates for integrated cognition
* Approaches to connecting integrated cognition with the world
* Integration across cognitive and non---cognitive (perceptuomotor,
affective, physiological, etc.) aspects of integrated cognition
* Common approaches to intelligent robots and virtual humans
* System development methodologies for integrated cognition
* Experimental methodologies for integrated cognition

15. 2nd Workshop on LifeLong User Modelling June 2013, Rome, Italy
due 1 April 2013
http://lifelogging-workshop.org
CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd Workshop on LifeLong User Modelling
in conjunction with UMAP, June, 2013, Rome, Italy
============================
Deadline for paper submission: April 01, 2013
http://lifelogging-workshop.org
We are pleased to announce the 2nd Workshop on on LifeLong User
Modelling in conjunction with UMAP 2013.
Nowadays, we are surrounded by technology that assists us in our
everyday life. We use GPS devices to navigate from A to B, we use all
kind of sensors to track our sport activities, we query the WWW for
information while on the go and we use all kinds of devices and
software to communicate with our friends and family to share opinions,
pictures, etc. With today's technology, we have the capability to
automatically record at large-scale the places that we have been to,
things we have seen, people we communicate with and how active we are
- we're already creating a lifelog.
This creation of lifelogs offers new possibilities for personalization
but the resulting data volume raises new challenges. Analyzing this
large data corpus will enable us to better understand ourselves: What
are my habits and interests? Or, even more specific: Do I live a
healthy life? Answering these questions can lead to a more conscious
lifestyle. One big challenge is the creation and management of long
term, even life long, user models that capture salient aspects about
the user over very long periods of time, possibly spanning periods
from early childhood to old age. Further, these models have to handle
changing interests over time. Also, such lifelogging models have to be
usable by different applications. Other challenges pertain processing
big data and identifying user interests, skills etc. and their usage
in real world systems like health or recommendation systems. Following
the successful first Workshop on Lifelong User Modelling which was
held in conjunction with UMAP 2009
(http://rp-www.cs.usyd.edu.au/~llum/2009_UMAP09_llum/), this workshop
aims to engage researchers from both user modelling and lifelogging
communities to discuss emerging research trends in this field.
Invited Speaker: Dr. Cathal Gurrin, Dublin City U., Ireland
Title: Experience of a Lifelogger: Tasks and Challenges
TOPICS
--------------------
The workshop aims at improving the exchange of ideas between the
different research communities and practitioners involved in the
research on user modeling and lifelogging. The workshop will focus on
the following key questions:
- What lifelogging techniques exist that can benefit from long-term
user modeling?
- How can user interfaces assist to explore lifelogs and/or the
underlying user models?
- What personalisation techniques can be used in the context of life logging?
- How should privacy issues be addressed when it is possible to
create detailed user models covering every aspect of one's life?
- What are the particular representational requirements for life-long
user modeling?
- What are the requirements for enabling a life-long user model to be
useful for a range of applications?
- Which aspects need to be part of the foundation design of technical
solutions that will ensure the user's privacy over their life-long
user model?
- How will we ensure users can control and share their life-long user
model effectively?
- What are the relevant existing standards that should be part of
life-long user modelling and where is there a need for additional
standards?
SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
--------------------
All papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not
currently under review. All submissions will be reviewed by at least 3
members of the workshop committee and will be evaluated according to
their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity,
and relevance to the workshop. At least one author of each accepted
paper is expected to attend the workshop.
Full papers should be 4-10 pages. Submissions must adhere to the
Springer LNCS format (see the example document with author
instructions), and be made through the EasyChair conference
system. https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lum2013
Accepted papers will be published online in a combined UMAP Workshop &
Poster Proceedings volume of the CEUR workshop proceedings.

16. IITSEC conference
http://www.iitsec.org
The Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education
Conference (I/ITSEC) is the premier conference in the world for
advancing the interests of the modeling, simulation, training and
education communities. Each year, over 18,000 people congregate
together to promote cooperation in support of the sciences behind
learning and to exchange information, share knowledge, align business
interests, and in general stimulate the growth of the
industry. I/ITSEC papers are an integral component of the conference
and represent the best technical and scientific tools, technologies,
methods, processes, and systems our industry has to offer.
The theme selected for this year's conference; "Concepts and
Technologies: Empowering an Agile Force", emphasizes our commitment to
exploring common challenges and developing innovative learning
solutions that help maintain a professional and efficient
workforce. Being an author at I/ITSEC puts you at the forefront of our
industry and presents an ideal venue to interface with key decision
makers and other like-minded individuals. In writing a paper for
I/ITSEC, your ideas, concepts and technologies will be exposed to
leading experts across government, academia, industry, research
organizations and the military. For the 2013 conference, we welcome
papers that discuss new ideas, new ways of doing things, and new
technologies that continue to move our industry forward. It's
important to note that our audience is not interested in sales pitches
or marketing statistics. Rather, I/ITSEC papers are typically focused
on the science behind the technology. Please review the attached Call
for Papers for additional information about what each subcommittee is
looking for.

19. 2nd Call for Papers: Conf. on Spatial Info Theory COSIT 2013
http://cosit.info
Second announcement - and updated information - for
11th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory, COSIT 2013
September 2-6, 2013, Scarborough, UK.
Contact: cosit2013 at exeter.ac.uk
Spatial information theory is concerned with all aspects of space and
spatial environments as experienced and represented by humans and also
by other animals and artificial agents. The scope of the conference
includes both applications to specific domains and also the
development of general theories of space and spatial
information. Papers may address aspects of spatial information from
the viewpoint of any discipline including (but not limited to) the
following.
Cognitive, Perceptual, and Environmental Psychology
Geography and Geoinformation Science
Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Cognitive Science
Mathematics, Logic, Philosophy and Ontology
Engineering and Human Factors
Cognitive Anthropology, Psycholinguistics and Linguistics
Architecture, Planning, and Environmental Design
Papers will be selected through a rigorous review of full papers based
on relevance to the conference, scientific significance, novelty,
relation to previously published literature, clarity of presentation,
and interdisciplinary context. The proceedings will be published by
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
series. Papers should not exceed 20 pages in the LNCS
format. Submissions should be uploaded via EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cosit13
There will also be the opportunity to present a poster. For this, a
one page description is requested, which should be sent by email to
cosit2013 at exeter.ac.uk.
Since 1993 the COSIT series has been one of the most important events
in this highly interdisciplinary area. An idea of the conference's
orientation can be gained from the previous COSIT proceedings
published by Springer in the LNCS series. The following
(non-exclusive) topics are indicative of the fields of interest:
activity-based models of spatial knowledge
cognitive structure of spatial knowledge
cognitive vision
cooperative work with spatial information
events and processes in geographic space and time
incomplete or imprecise spatial knowledge
knowledge representation for space and time
languages of spatial relations
naive geography/behavioral geography
navigation and wayfinding, including robot navigation
ontology of space
presentation and communication of spatial information
qualitative and commonsense spatial representation
quality issues in geographic information
semantics of geographic information
social and cultural organization of space
spatial and temporal language
spatial aspects of social networks
spatial data integration/interoperability
spatial decision-support systems
structure of geographic information
theory and practice of spatial and temporal reasoning
time in geographic information
user-interface design/spatialization of interfaces
virtual spaces
We are happy to announce the following keynote speakers for this year's COSIT:
Karen Emmorey, Director of the Laboratory for Language and
Cognitive Neuroscience at San Diego State U.
Jens Riegelsberger, Google Geo User Research Team
Trevor Bailey, College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical
Sciences, U. of Exeter, UK
Three full-day workshops and two half-day tutorials will be offered on
the first day of the conference. Additionally there will be a doctoral
colloquium after the conference, which provides a forum for PhD
students working on any aspect of spatial information.
The workshops are:
Eye Tracking for Spatial Research
Organisers: Peter Kiefer, Ioannis Giannopoulos, Martin Raubal, and Mary Hegarty
Visually-Supported Reasoning with Uncertainty
Organisers: Jennifer Smith, Susanne Bleisch, Matt Duckham, and
Alexander Klippel

24. 3 year PhD position at the Quality & Usability Lab, TU/Berlin
The Quality and Usability Lab of TU Berlin seeks to assign a
THREE-YEAR PHD POSITION
in the area of
AUTOMATIC EVALUATION OF MODEL-BASED USER INTERFACES.
The position is available in the frame of a project funded by Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and is conducted in collaboration with
the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at TU Berlin
(DAI-Labor). The successful candidate will be employed as a
"Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter" (German scientific researcher, salary
according to the TVL 13 scale).
Applications including a CV, a motivation letter, copies of the most
important certificates and 1-2 references should be sent as soon as
possible to Irene Hube-Achter (irene.hube at telekom.de)
TU Berlin seeks to increase the percentage of female employees and
particularly encourages female candidates to apply. In case of equal
qualifications, female candidates will be preferred. Handicapped
candidates will be preferred in case of equal qualifications.
Project description
The project aims at combining a framework for model-based development
of user interfaces (MASP platform) with a framework for model-based
evaluation of user interfaces (MeMo workbench). In MASP, user
interfaces are specified in the form of models following the Cameleon
reference framework. The actual interface is rendered at runtime,
taking into account context parameters such as the screen size. In
MeMo, similar models are used as a basis for simulating the
interaction behavior of users with applications. Using such
simulations, the user interface can be tested easily during
development time.
In the project, a focus is set on the analysis and modeling of user
errors and error recovery strategies. In the beginning, the focus of
the candidate will be on user tests conducted to learn about the
behavior of real users. In the successive experimentation phase,
different user simulation approaches will be implemented and evaluated
by the candidate in collaboration with DAI-Labor.
The candidate should be able to program in Java and show genuine
interest in user interface evaluation. The willingness to work in an
international and interdisciplinary team is a must. Applicants are
expected to be available in the very near future. Further information
on the Quality and Usability Lab and our research topics can be found
