We will shortly be announcing the ACT-R 2002 Summer School and 
Workshop.  At the summer school we will be teaching the 5.0 version 
of ACT-R (whatever that is).  We are sending this out as a poll to 
ACT-R users to get a sense of what the experience with 5.0 has been 
and what the definition of 5.0 should be.  We would appreciate your 
answers to the following questions.  In these questions we refer to 
the construct of a "research model".  This means something you would 
be willing to describe in a research presentation not necessarily 
something published.  Also, our post-graduate summer school slides at 
our Web page contain some discussion of various ACT-R 5.0 features.

1. With respect to 4.0:
a. Have you ever worked with it?
b. How many research models would you estimate that you have produced in 4.0?
c. Are you currently using it for research?
d. Have you used it (or do you intend to use it) for teaching?

2. With respect to 5.0
a. Have you every worked with it?
b. How many research models would you estimate that you have produced in 5.0?
c. Are you currently using it for research?
d. Have you used it (or do you intend to use it) for teaching?

3. With respect to the principal features on which ACT-R 5.0 differs 
from 4.0, how much experience have you had with
a. The buffer control structure
b. The downgrading of the goal stack
c. The competitive latency equation and downgrading of the strengths 
of association
d. Production compilation

4. With respect to the principal features on which ACT-R 5.0 differs 
from 4.0, how would you evaluate
a. The buffer control structure
b. The downgrading of the goal stack
c. The competitive latency equation and downgrading of the strengths 
of association
d. Production compilation

5. Any other comments?

Thank you
