update/reminder 2nd European Cog Modelling Conference (ECCM)

[ritter at psychology.nottingham.ac.uk]

[This is going out to all previous attenders interested parties]

There are have been a few updates about the 2nd European Cognitive
Modelling Conference that I'd like to pass on you.  This might also
serve as a reminder about the paper deadline of 7 January.  Some posts
to bboards and mailing lists (which many of you are already on, alas)
generated a couple of responses actually thanking me for the reminder,
so I thought you deserved the same.

I think that there will not be many more emails this way.

UPDATES

We are likely to have publisher's stands at the meeting.  There will
be symposia on ActR and Soar (including a model walk through).  There
may be symposia on the Cogent meta-architecture, representations
change, and cognitive modelling at work.  The tutorials are setup or
falling into place.  We will have a reduced fee for graduate students
and are likely to be able to offer some fellowships for attendance
(more on the web site as this develops).

The web site remains
http://www.psychology.nottingham.ac.uk/staff/ritter/eccm98
There is now even a Faq there and some further information.

ACCOMODATION

I would also like your wishes on accommodation.  I'm sorting out
blocks of rooms, and while this won't commit you and we will offer all
of these types, it would help to know the relative preferences for
rooms.  Please, if you would, reply with what *you* would want if you
were to come or will come:

  Hall of residence, single rooms, bathroom with shower down the hall
  shared with about 4 rooms.  Over the conference meeting room and
  next door to swimming pool and tennis courts.  about 20 pounds/30 US
  dollars per night.

  Hall of residence, single rooms, bathroom connected to your
  room. Building next to where the conference is held. about 30
  pounds/45 US dollars per night.

  Hotel, single or double room, bathroom connected to your room. A
  short walk to a short taxi ride away from the conference. about 60
  pounds/90 US dollars per night


Cheers,

Frank
