Previously, the act-r-users list was a manually-kept email alias list maintained by Christian Lebiere. If you needed a change, you'd have to contact Christian. If you wanted to view the archives, you could, but in a limited way. We've now switched from this static method to a new system, based on Mailman. You can view a sorted list of archives, change your own subscription options, and unsubscribe by yourself. There's also a low-volume, moderated act-r-announce list which is reserved for the occasional ACT-R announcement. To begin exploring this new system, I encourage you to start at http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/ . By now, everyone should be subscribed to both new lists, and you should have received 2 welcome messages already. If you wish to change your options, please start at the address above. There's no need to bother Christian anymore. If you have any problems with this new system, please let me know right away. I hope that it will provide a better forum for discussion, while being more resistant to spam and email viruses.

First, the process-run-function in ACL requires a function as the second parameter, but you are passing it the result of calling run which is not a function. Instead you should use: (mp:process-run-function "act-r" #'run-fct) The issues have to do with continuous running and synchronization. The ACT-R run function returns when there isn't anything for the model to do (no productions to fire). So unless there are some very generic productions in the model to ensure that there's always one that will fire the run function will return as soon as it hits such a situation which will terminate that process. The other issue is synchronization. With run being handled by the ACL scheduler there's no gurantees as to when it's going to get a chance to run. I guess the bigger question is why do you need to run ACT-R in a separate process?

Context affects a wide range of activities in humans and animals as well as in artificial agents and other computer programs. The importance of context is widely acknowledged, and "context" has become an area of study in its own right, as evidenced by the numerous workshops, symposia, seminars, and conferences held recently. CONTEXT, the oldest conference series focusing on context, is unique due to its strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research. Previous CONTEXT conferences have been held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CONTEXT'97), Trento, Italy (CONTEXT'99), and Dundee, Scotland (CONTEXT'01). Each of these brought together researchers in many disparate fields to discuss and report on research on context-related topics. The proceedings of CONTEXT'03 will be published in a Lecture Notes series (http://www.springer.de/comp/lnai) of Springer-Verlag, as were those of the previous CONTEXT conferences. TOPICS OF INTEREST To guide potential submissions, a representative sampling of topics of interest for CONTEXT'03 are as follows (in alphabetical order). This is not an exhaustive list, and other contributions are welcome, although all submissions must have a focus on context. Analogy and case-based reasoning Autonomous Agents and Agent-based Systems Cognitive Modeling Commonsense Reasoning Context Issues in Databases Context-aware Applications Contextual effects on language Contextual effects on problem-solving, understanding and production decision-making, and categorization Decision Support and Expert Systems Distributed Information Systems Formal Theories of Context Heterogeneous Information Integration Human-Computer Interaction Information Management Intelligent Tutoring Systems Intelligent/Semantic Web Systems Interagent Communication Knowledge Engineering and Management Knowledge Representation Machine Learning Multiagent Systems Natural Language Processing Neuroscience and context Organizational Theory and Design Philosophical Foundations SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Since CONTEXT'03 will be an interdisciplinary forum, all submissions, in addition to being evaluated for their technical merit, will be evaluated for their accessibility to an interdisciplinary audience. Works that transcend disciplinary boundaries are especially encouraged. Papers will be accepted either for oral presentation or for presentation at a poster session. Each submission will be evaluated by three referees. Complete formatting requirements and detailed instructions for authors can be found on the conference Web page. Note that papers cannot be longer than 14 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically--no hardcopy submissions will be accepted without prior approval from the Program Co-Chairs well in advance of the submission deadline. LaTeX and Word templates are available at the conference Web page. Papers must be in PDF format. See the conference Web page for instructions on converting to this format from Word, LaTeX, etc. Submitted papers should be received by the Program Co-Chairs no later than January 6, 2003. The conference Web page contains instructions for submitting papers electronically.
