Programme for ICCM 23-25 March 2000

[ritter at ist.psu.edu]

The conference chair has asked me to send you this as a previous
attendee or interested party to cognitive modelling or the ICCM
conference.  Rather than just refer you to the program, I append an
abreviated version.  If you are registered for the conference this is
only a reminder.

The number of submissions was very high this year (over 60), and the
program thus looks very interesting.  Copies of the proceedings are
available through Universal Press or through Niels Taatgen
<niels at tcw2.ppsw.rug.nl>.  Details will appear on the web site
http://tcw2.ppsw.rug.nl/iccm at a later date as well.

As always, if you wish to get off this list, please let me know, but
keep in mind that I do this in my spare time and by hand.

Cheers,

Frank
