Soar and ACT-R tutorials and teaching workshop at CogSci Conf

[ritter at Psychology.Nottingham.AC.UK]

I thought I should pass on to you that there will be a tutorial series
including Act-R and Soar at the Cognitive Science conference this
summer.  The web site will be up shortly; we estimate that the price
will be about US$ 50 for the tutorials.  There will also be a workshop
on teaching cognitive science that looks interesting.  If have people
who have been waiting to take either of these tutorials, now's their
chance.

Cheers,

Frank

  The Twenty First Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society
  will take place on August 19-21, 1999 at Simon Fraser University in
  Vancouver, B.C.  The day before the conference, there will be an
  open workshop on teaching cognitive science and a tutorial
  programme.  This year there are four tutorials on cognitive
  architectures, including Soar, ACT-R, Cogent, and PDP++.  These
  tutorials are generally designed to introduce architectures to
  potential users.  These tutorials do not teach the architectures
  completely, but provide enough background to understand models
  written in them and usually provide enough information for modellers
  to judge if the architecture is right for their problem.  More
  information on the conference is available at
