Folks,

I have a research grant to make cognitive modeling easier to do and part 
of doing that is having trace tools that really help people understand 
what models are doing.
To that end, I have a design/MHCI student who will design useful trace 
visualizations (Samantha, cc'd above) but she needs to really understand 
ACT-RPM traces. Samantha needs to sit down with someone who is skilled 
at interpreting ACT-RPM traces and work through a trace in great detail.

We think this would take about 2 hours, and we'd be happy to pay $20/hour.

Here's what we think we need:
Face-to-face communication, therefore, this is restricted to people in 
Pittsburgh.
Someone who has a running ACT-R 5.0 model using the visual and motor 
aspects of ACT-RPM (not just cognition).
(Sorry, we're not up to ACT-R 6 yet, but expect to get there eventually.)

Samantha will ask you to walk her through your model and the most 
verbose trace of your model as it runs, explaining what the trace means.

If interested, please contact Samantha Konwinski directly, 
skonwins at andrew.cmu.edu

Thanks,
Bonnie John
