Dear member of the ACT-R community, 
We would like to remind you that the deadline for ICCM 2006 is approaching: Please, take note of the following information.



                    CALL FOR PAPERS

                      ICCM-2006: 
The 7th International Conference on Cognitive Modeling
      
           Trieste, Italy, 5 - 8 April 2006


The International Conference on Cognitive Modeling provides an international forum that allows cognitive scientists pursuing computational modeling to present, discuss and evaluate their models, to compare different architectural approaches, and to further the development, accumulation and integration of cognitive theories.  

The goal of ICCM-2006 is to foster the development of models of human cognition based on a principled integration of analytical, experimental and computational tools capable of providing theoretical accounts of phenomena spanning different levels of analysis, from the behavioral to the neuronal ones.

ICCM-2006 invites the submission of papers from the whole scope of modeling approaches including, but not restricted to,symbolic, connectionist, hybrid, neural, Bayesian, statistical and mathematical models.  

Authors are strongly encouraged (but not obliged) to include in the submission the code of the models discussed in their work.
