Soar Tutorials will be offered on May 30 & 31, in conjunction with the Workshop. The official web page for the 22nd Soar Workshop is: http://www.soartech.com/soar22workshopinfo.htm Soar is a general cognitive architecture for developing systems that exhibit intelligent behavior. Researchers worldwide, in the fields of artificial intelligence and cognitive science, have been using and evolving Soar for a variety of tasks since 1983. The present revision of the Soar kernel, version 8.41, was released 25 March 2002. Each year, new and current members of the Soar community -- faculty, scientists, graduate students, technical staff and developers -- gather together for a weekend workshop of intensive interaction and exchange of ideas on Soar. These workshops provide the geographically distributed members of the Soar community with the opportunity to have face-to-face conversations, to hear about everyone's current research status, and to have an opportunity to chart the future of Soar. The 22nd North American Soar Workshop will be held in Ann Arbor May 30-31 (Tutorials) and June 1-2 (Workshop) 2002. It is our intention to give as many members of the community as possible the opportunity to describe their research or to discuss whatever Soar issues are of concern to them. This means the time available per talk is quite short (approximately 15 minutes or less). Since workshop attendees are typically well-aware of the current state-of-the-art in Soar, brief talks that concentrate only on the essentials have historically worked very well. The Soar Workshop is announced on the soar-group mailing list and other lists, but to ensure that everyone actively working with Soar or interested in knowing more about Soar, but who may not have received an announcement, is contacted, please let us know or forward this announcement. Proceedings from the previous three Soar workshops are available online: 21st Soar Workshop, May 2001 at U of M: http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/soar/workshop21/talks 20th Soar Workshop, May 2000 at USC/ISI: http://www.isi.edu/soar/soar-workshop/proceedings.html 19th Soar Workshop, May 1999 at U of M: http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/soar/workshop19/talks WORKSHOP: The workshop will take place from the morning of Saturday June 1 to the afternoon of Sunday June 2. Mornings will be devoted to research presentations, each lasting about 15 minutes including questions. Afternoons will feature further research presentations as well as discussion sessions and special interest focus groups. Admission to the workshops is open to all. The registration fee is $75. TUTORIALS: The tutorials will take place prior to the workshop, Thursday May 30th and Friday May 31st and are designed to meet the needs of both novice and advanced users of Soar. On Thursday, there will be an Introduction to Soar which will cover the Soar 8 Tutorial materials (available online at http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/soar/tutorials). On Friday, the focus is on Advanced Soar topics, including "Learning in Soar". If there is substantial interest in another aspect of the Soar architecture or development in Soar, we will endeavor to hold special focus tutorial sessions on Friday afternoon. Computing facilities and a catered lunch meal will be provided for both days of the tutorial sessions. Tutorial attendees are encouraged to attend the workshop. Registration for the tutorial sessions is required. Please register online at http://www.soartech.com/soarworkshop/ or fax or email the registration form below. Additional information and updates will be announced on the Soar mailing list and posted to the workshop web page.

The conferences will not only feature the most up-to-date research results in natural and arti- ficial neural systems, evolutionary computation, fuzzy systems, and knowledge discovery, but also promote cross-fertilization over these exciting and yet closely-related areas. Registration to any one of the conferences will entitle a participant to the technical sessions and the proceedings of all three conferences, as well as the conference banquet, buffet lunches, and tours to two of the major attractions in Singapore, i.e., Night Safari and Sentosa Resort Island. Many well- known researchers will present keynote speeches, panel discussions, invited lectures, and tutorials. About Singapore --------------- Located at one of the most important crossroads of the world, Singapore is truly a place where East and West come together. Here you will find Chinese, Indian, and Malay communities living together, their long established cultures forming a unique backdrop to a clean and modern garden city. English is spoken everywhere and is the common business language of all. Few places on earth promise such a delight for the palate, with gourmet cuisine from over 30 countries. Exotic resorts in neighboring countries are only a short bus/ferry ride away. Orchid Country Club (OCC) ------------------------- The venue for this year's conferences is at one of Singapore's premier country clubs, a 25-minute bus ride from the city. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Singapore, the tranquil setting of the resort is ideal for serious technical discussions with an accommodating space and ambience for relaxation. Not to miss out on the splendor of downtown Singapore, the organizer has also secured good quality and affordable accommodation in the heart of the city with pre-arranged transport to/from the OCC. For golf enthusiasts, OCC is equipped with the largest computerized driving range in South East Asia and boasts of a 27-hole golf course with facilities for night golfing, ideal for relaxation after each day of technical discussions. Visit the OCC website at http://www.orchidclub.com Night Safari and Sentosa Resort Island -------------------------------------- It is said that a visit to Singapore is not complete without making a trip to two of the Republic's famous attractions. The only one of its kind in the world, the Night Safari provides a setting for visitors to experience what it is like to observe animals in their nocturnal habitat. The island of Sentosa offers some unique attractions and a visit there will also provide a glimpse and imagery of Singapore's past and present. Visits to these two attractions will be included as recreation for the joint conference.
