[ACT-R-users] upcoming ICCM2004 submission deadline

[Christian Schunn]

Upcoming April 1st, 2004 paper submission deadline for the Sixth 
International Conference of Cognitive Modeling---ICCM-2004 
http://simon.lrdc.pitt.edu/~iccm
The conference is to be held July 29 - August 1, 2004, in Pittsburgh, 
USA (jointly between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of 
Pittsburgh).


Types of Submissions
We are accepting paper and poster submissions until the deadline of 
April 1, 2004
  * Papers. Refereed papers for publication in proceedings. These will 
be presented as talks or as posters. The best student paper and the 
best applied modeling paper will receive an award.
  * Symposia. Proposals for a complete 90-minute symposium on current 
research topics. Proposals should list participants and moderator, 
and include a one page summary of the topic.

Poster-abstracts may be submitted anytime before June 1, 2004.
  *  Poster abstracts. 2-page extended abstracts for presentation as 
posters and inclusion in the proceedings.

  All submissions must be made electronically, via Adobe Acrobat 
files.  The URL to use for submissions is
  https://precisionconference.com/~iccm/


Submission Formats
All submissions must be Adobe Acrobat files. These files must be 
readable by the standard Acrobat Reader and editable by people other 
than the author. The details of the required format are described in 
the sample documents available on our website 
(http://simon.lrdc.pitt.edu/~iccm). For your convenience, there are 
files for Microsoft Word and LaTeX that you can use as templates. 
With a few exceptions (especially length) the formatting details are 
the same for all types of submissions. Please do not edit the margins 
or font settings of these files.

Page length: Submitted papers can be up to six pages long. Papers 
accepted for publication will appear in the proceedings, and will 
either be presented as a talk or as a poster at the 
conference. Symposia are one page long and poster abstracts are two 
pages long. 

===========================================

About the conference:

THEME
ICCM brings researchers together who develop computational models 
that explain/predict cognitive data. The core theme of ICCM2004 is 
Integrating Computational Models: models that integrate diverse data; 
integration across modeling approaches; and integration of teaching 
and modeling.

ICCM2004 seeks to grow the discipline of computational cognitive modeling.
Towards this end, it will provide
- a sophisticated modeling audience for cutting-edge researchers
- critical information on the best computational modeling teaching 
resources for teachers of the next generation of modelers
- a forum for integrating insights across alternative modeling 
approaches (including connectionism, symbolic modeling, dynamical 
systems, Bayesian modeling, and cognitive architectures) in both 
basic research and applied settings, across a wide variety of 
domains, ranging from low-level perception and attention to 
higher-level problem-solving and learning.
- a venue for planning the future growth of the discipline


INVITED SPEAKERS

Kenneth Forbus (Northwestern University)
Michael Mozer (University of Colorado at Boulder)


SUBMISSION CATEGORIES --- DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: April 1st 2004

Papers and Posters
Papers and posters will follow the 6-page 10-point double-column 
single-spaced US-letter format used by the Annual Cognitive Science 
Society Meeting. Formatting templates and examples will be made 
available on the website. The research being presented at ICCM-2004 
will appear in the conference proceedings. The proceedings will 
contain 6-page extended descriptions for paper presentations and 
2-page extended abstracts for poster presentations. There will also 
be an opportunity to attach model code and simulation results in an 
electronic form.

Comparative Symposia
Three to five participants submit a symposium in which they all 
present models relating to the same domain or phenomenon. The 
participants must agree upon a set of fundamental issues in their 
domain that all participants must address or discuss. Parties 
interested in putting a comparative symposia proposal together are 
highly encouraged to do so well before the April 1st deadline and 
will be given feedback shortly after submission. Please see the 
website for additional information.

Newell Prize for Best Student Paper
Award given to the paper first-authored by a student that provides 
the most innovative or complete account of cognition in a particular 
domain. The winner of the award will receive full reimbursement for 
the conference fees, lodging costs, and a $1,000 stipend.

The Best Applied Research Paper Award
To be eligible, 1) the paper should capture behavioral data not 
gathered in the psychology lab OR the paper should capture behavioral 
data in a task that has high external validity; 2) the best paper is 
the one that one from this category that provides the most innovative 
or complete solution to a real-world, practical problem.

Doctoral Consortium
Full-day session 1 day prior to main conference for doctoral students 
to present dissertation proposal ideas to one another and receive 
feedback from experts from a variety of modeling approaches (this 
year, David Touretzky and Wayne Gray). Student participants receive 
complimentary conference registration as well as lodging and travel 
reimbursement---maximum amounts will be determined at a later date.
