[please forward this as appropriate]
This is based on the International Cognitive Modeling Conference mailing list,
which I maintain. I've added you to it by hand. I send the messages out by
hand using some Emacs functions. The first announcement is the one that is
driving this email, the announcement of ICCM 2006. I don't anticipate much
more traffic though, until the next ICCM in Trieste in 2006 has its paper call
to go out for formally in the autumn.
I forward messages about twice a year.
cheers,
Frank

1. 2006 International Conf. on Cognitive Modeling
Thursday, 4 April 2006 to 8 April 2006, in Trieste, Italy
http://iccm2006.units.it/ or contact iccm2006 at units.it.
This continues the series of ICCM conferences. The last conference
was at Pittsburgh. http://simon.lrdc.pitt.edu/~iccm/ This
conference will build on that one's success.
Paper submissions (6 pages) provisionally due November 20th, 2005.
***************************************************
2. Tutorial Program at Cognitive Science 2005, 20 July 2005
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/keller/cogsci05/program_tutorials.html
Tutorials will present tutorial material, that is, provide results
that are established and will do so in an interactive format. They
tend to involve an introduction to technical skills or methods. This
year the set of tutorials is focused on a range of cognitive
architectures for modeling and teaching higher-level cognition, and
on a method for gathering data. They will include substantial review of
material. The level of presentation assumes that the attendees have at least
a first degree in a cognate area.
There is a student rate, and such students must bring their ID to
show at registration.
Attendance at the tutorials does not require conference registration,
but tutorial registration does not provide conference entrance.
There are five tutorials this year (one with two parts). They are
likely to cost about $63 (about 35 pounds or 50 Euros) for each
half-day tutorial and 30e ($38) for students. Payment can be made
using the registration site on the conference page, or can be paid
for on the day (if space is available, which is likely). The program
includes handouts, and a tea and a coffee break (including
biscuits). There will be a meeting of the tutorial committee and
tutors after the tutorials, location to be announced at the
tutorials.

3. Cognitive modeling/human factors/HCI position at Office of Naval Research
http://chart.donhr.navy.mil/JobSearch/jobdetail.asp?strView=0&vid=60910
Contact Susan Chipman (below) for more details.
Program Officer, Human Factors (Industrial engineer)
The Office of Naval Research is seeking a qualified individual to
manage sponsored basic/applied research, and advanced development
program and projects in the broad area of human factors engineering.
The sponsored efforts are conducted at US universities and industry
or Federal Labs. This is a civil service position at the GS-14/15
level ($88k-135k) depending on individual qualifications.
The position requires knowledge and experience in the fundamental
theories, concepts, and current state-of-the art research and/or
technology development in the areas of human systems integration,
human factors engineering, and industrial engineering including but
not limited to, human decision making, organizational design and
architectures, models for human-computer interaction, including
computational models of human cognitive processing.
For information on qualifications and how to apply, see the job
announcements at our web site http://www.onr.navy.mil/hr.
Susan writes:
The quality of the people who end up in these positions is extremely
important to the research community as well as to the Navy. The
person in this position will have the opportunity to shape research
programs and investments for many years to come. Program officers at
ONR have real power of decision in funding. In addition, a less
visible aspect of their role is developing ideas, mega-proposals one
might say, and obtaining funding for them. Despite the use of the
term, "engineer", I am sure that cognitive scientists [and I would
suggest, HCI] with many different formal degrees would be able to get
this position, as long as they have appropriate expertise. The
government never has absolute degree requirements. Application of
cognitive modeling to human systems integration is of particular
interest.

Subject: [ACT-R-users] ACT-R Workshop registration date: May 31st
Message-ID:
Colleagues:
This is a reminder that May 31st is the"official" deadline for
registration at the ACT-R Workshop (July 15-17, Trieste). To
register, visit the web site
http://www.theoffice.it/actr05
The highlights of the the meeting will include a presentation by Nick
Chater on "The scope and limits of Rational Explanation" which should
give us some perspective reflecting on the origins and future of the
ACT-R theory. The conference will also include a session on "ACT-R 6
and Beyond" in which Dan Bothell will officially present ACT-R 6 to
the community (it is being used for Summer School this year) and we
will have some discussion of future directions. In general, we hope
to gather some sense of future direction from this workshop.
Three things expire with the deadline -- the reduced registration
fees, the guaranteed hotel rates, and the deadline for proceedings
contributions. With respect to the last item, I suspect May 31 is a
little imprecise as a deadline. Also with respect to this last item
of presenting at the workshop, I remind you that as always we are
informal -- a short statement of intention is all that is required
now and later you will be invited to submit 6 pages that can just be
your slides for publication in the proceedings.
Also, now is the time to invite community members to send suggestions
for symposia.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The Second Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous
Systems: Networking and Services
http://www.mobiquitous.org
July 17-21, 2005, San Diego, California
Early registration ends: June 17, 2005

***********************************************************************
The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user, using devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment. In this context, the communication devices, the objects with which they interact, or both may be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services.
The second Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: networking and services (Mobiquitous-05) will cover all these aspects, representing a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions design and deployment will be able to interact exchanging the cross-layer experiences needed to build the overall ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include: applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, knowledge management and databases.
DEMOS: Proposals for research and industrial demos are solicited. A maximum of 2 pages should be submitted which include a description of the demo and needed resources from the conference organizers. Proposals should be submitted to Dr. Ramiro Liscano (Demo Chair) rliscano at ieee.org by June 10, 2005.
