2001 Post-Graduate Summer School

[Larry Z. Daily]

Berkeley Springs is just down the road from me. As a bit of local color, you
may be interested in knowing that Coolfont is very close to Berkeley Castle,
the only Norman English (or is it English Norman?) castle in the states. It
was recently sold to a group from Warrenton, Virginia who bought it because,
they say, it is haunted. The buyers showed up at their pre-bid inspection
tour with all sorts of electromagnetic equipment that they said could detect
ghosts.
 
On a more serious note, if I can help with the organization of this event,
please feel free to call. And, of course, I'd like to extend an invitation
to visit Shepherd College to anyone who attends the post-graduate summer
school.
 
Regards,
Larry

> Dear ACT-R-users:

> As John mentioned at the 2000 ACT-R Workshop, next year we will not offer
> the traditional summer school and workshop, but instead we will
> organize a
> post-graduate summer school targeted at experienced users of
> ACT-R.  After
> seven years of organizing the summer school and workshop, it
> seemed like a
> good time to take a sabbatical and reflect on ACT-R.  We encourage ACT-R
> modelers who would have presented their research at the workshop
> to instead
> submit it to ICCM-2001, the Fourth International Conference on Cognitive
> Modeling that will take place at George Mason University from July 26 to
> July 28, 2001.  See http://hfac.gmu.edu/iccm/ for details.

> The format of the post-graduate summer school will probably consist of
> half-days devoted to specific topics, starting with a
> tutorial-like lecture
> lasting one to one-and-a-half hour, followed by free-flowing
> discussion and
> exchanges.  Topics can include specific areas (e.g. language), mechanisms
> (e.g. production rule learning), techniques (e.g. eye tracking)
> and general
> aspects of cognitive modeling (e.g. education). We really want to
> find out
> what topics you would be interested in seeing discussed.  Please send us
> any topics that occur to you or other suggestions by replying to this
> message or email cl+ at cmu.edu.
>
> Tentative plans are to hold the post-graduate summer school immediately
> before ICCM-2001, from Saturday July 21 to Wednesday July 25, in Berkeley
> Springs, a quaint West Virginia town located about 3 hours from
> Pittsburgh
> and two hours from Washington, DC.  Locations being considered
> include the
> Country Inn (www.countryinnwv.com), a large Georgian-style Inn in the
> middle of town, and Coolfont (www.coolfont.com), a resort located in the
> mountains about 5 miles outside of town.  Again comments are welcome.
