[ACT-R-users] ACT-R Workshop registration date: May 31st

[John Anderson]

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.
