I have written an outline for an intelligent agent architecture called G0. The indes page is here: http://www.geocities.com/genericai/GI-Architecture.htm where you can click to explanations of various modules. I'm wondering if people in this group are interested in my ideas. Basically I want to build an agent capable of common sense reasoning and long-term learning. I assume this is also the goal of ACT-R. I guess most of the things I propose have already been done in ACT-R but the point is to build an integrated system. I think that would be a very challenging and fun project, and useful too. Please give your comments, suggestions, and corrections if there're mistakes in what I wrote.

Providing first responders with the best possible technology, infrastructure and services help save the lives of the general public and the first responders as well. One of the main challenges to the operations of first responders and critical infrastructures is to deploy a communication network that is dependable, secure, and rapidly deployable. In order to operate effectively, the deployed network supports services such as location determination, audio and video communication, and in site and remote sensing. Another key feature for first responders and critical infrastructures networks is to support interactions among multiple heterogeneous networks. This workshop provides a forum for researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss the challenges facing the design, deployment and operational issues for next generation network support for first responders and critical infrastructure. The workshop will identify and define fundamental concepts and techniques, resolve conflicts between different approaches in the area, and provide a common ground for an advanced research and development agenda. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Smart environments (buildings, roads, vehicles, etc.) - Fast roaming in heterogonous network environment - Localization and time synchronization - Rapidly deployable and self configuring services and networks - Security, dependability, privacy, and performance trade-offs - QoS in heterogeneous wireless networks - Sensor and actuator networks for information gathering and real-time control - Network and system support for augmented reality and visual analytics - Test beds - Simulation studies of first responders and critical infrastructures? networks - Novel and adaptive communication protocols to support first responders and critical infrastructure? operation - Resource management and allocation - Power control management - Admission, load and flow control - Performance analysis and experimentation of heterogeneous wireless networks - Security techniques and methods for heterogeneous wireless networks - Interoperability among WLANs, Cellular, WSN and wired networks - Measurements on heterogeneous networks - Mobility models and traffic patterns in disaster areas - Cross-layer design Workshop Co-chairs ------------------ Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA Moustafa Youssef, University of Maryland, USA From lucas.vitti at gmail.com Thu Oct 19 09:36:09 2006 From: lucas.vitti at gmail.com (Lucas Vitti Rodrigues) Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2006 10:36:09 -0300 Subject: [ACT-R-users] Error Modeling Message-ID: <602a2c850610190636q4ceef547o999d5b9bf6d6a510@mail.gmail.com> Hi all ACT-R 6 does have a indirect match module for human error modeling?

Availability implies that networks and systems must be survivable and fault tolerant - they should possess redundancies to operate under failures or security breaches. For example, networks should be designed with sufficient spare and working capacity, efficient traffic restoration protocols, alarms and network management. Security encompasses the other aspects of IA, namely integrity, access-control, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation as they apply to both networks and systems. The increasing reliance of business-to-business and business-to-consumer applications on networked information systems dramatically magnifies the consequence of damages resulting from even simple system faults and intrusions, making the task of assuring confidentiality, availability and integrity of information difficult. Although several piecemeal solutions address concerns related to the security and fault tolerance of various components of such networked information systems, there is a growing need to leverage the synergy between security and survivability to provide a higher level of information assurance in the face of faults and attacks. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, systems-related and work in-progress in the area of Information Assurance at the network and system levels. We expect to have three types of sessions - the first related to survivability and fault tolerance, the second related to security, and the third related to the interactions between security and survivability. Papers should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Papers accepted for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings. The workshop will also include invited papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Authorization and access-control - Web services security - Database and system security - Risk analysis and security management - Security verification/validation - Wireless Security & Survivability - Network Restoration techniques - Network Reliability/Availability - Digital Rights Management - DoS protection for the Internet - Cryptographic protocols and Key management - Intrusion Detection Techniques - Ad hoc sensor network security - Models and architectures for systems security and survivability - Security / survivability in optical networks - E/M-commerce security and survivability architectures - Public policy issues for security and survivability - Botnets detection and response - Trust negotiation/management - Privacy models and mechanisms Instructions for authors: Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on the above and related topics are solicited. All submitted papers will be refereed for quality, originality and relevance by the Program Committee. The acceptance/rejection of the papers will be based on the review results. All questions should be addressed to the PC co-chairs. Authors are encouraged to submit their papers electronically. An electronic version (PDF format) of the paper should be submitted by November 30, 2006 to the workshop website. Manuscripts should be in English and must not exceed 8 pages (IEEE format) for regular papers and 4 pages (IEEE format) for short papers. Short papers will be included for presentation in a poster session. A cover page must include a title, descriptive keywords, all author's names, complete mailing addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and an abstract of up to 150 words. Both regular and short papers accepted for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings. For any further information, please check the workshop web page at http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~lersais/WIA2007/ or send e-mail to one of the program co-chairs. Inviting selected papers for an edited book is being planned.

Tutorial topics may range from practical guidelines to academic issues and theory. Tutorial participants will be from a wide range of the cognitive sciences, but they will be looking for insights into their own areas and summaries of other areas providing tools, techniques, and results to use in their own teaching and research. Tutorials must present well established results, yesterday's results from your lab are not encouraged. Tutorials in an interactive format are encouraged. They can involve an introduction to technical skills or methods (e.g., cognitive modeling in ACT-R, Bayesian modeling, eyetracking, fMRI, methods of analyzing qualitative observational data). They are likely to include substantial review of material. Most tutorials should be at the introductory graduate school level or higher. That is, the tutorials should be accessible to postgraduate students, but should also assume a first degree in one of the cognitive sciences. Arrangements: Each tutorial is designed to be a half-day or full-day in duration. Half-day tutorials are about 3 hours long (not including breaks). Full day tutorials are about 6 hours long (not including breaks). Please indicate the duration of your proposed tutorial in your application. REVIEW PROCESS: Tutorial proposals will be evaluated by the tutorial committee on the basis of their estimated benefit for prospective participants and on their fit within the tutorials program as a whole. Factors to be considered include relevance, importance, and audience appeal; suitability for presentation in a half-day or full-day tutorial format; use of presentation methods that offer participants direct experience with the material being taught; how much they might help unify cognitive science; teaching a skill or covering a topic that would not have another outlet; and past experience and qualifications of the instructors with their tutorial. Selection is also based on the overall distribution of topics, approaches (overview, theory, methodology, how-to), audience experience levels, and specialties of the intended audiences. PROPOSAL: If you want to submit a proposal, please follow the instructions at: http://csep.psyc.memphis.edu/cogsci07/tutorials.htm COMPENSATION: A budget of $125 will be awarded for each half-day tutorial that is taught, $250 for each full-day. If a tutorial has two or more instructors, the budget will be shared among them. Tutors will not be charged for attending their own tutorial. Tutors may bring a helper to the tutorial at no cost. WORKSHOP PROPOSALS The purpose of pre-conference workshops is to provide organizers and participants with an opportunity for an in-depth discussion on a specific topic important to cognitive science in general. Workshops can choose to concentrate on emerging research or cross-disciplinary topics, but can also discuss application issues. Workshop notes should be assembled by the workshop organizers based on the input from workshop presenters. The workshop notes should be made available to workshop participants in printed form by the organizers themselves. They will use the same format as the proceedings of the main session of the Cognitive Science Conference, but will be distributed separately. DURATION: Each workshop is designed to be a half-day or full-day in duration. Half-day workshops are about 3 hours long (not including breaks). Full day workshops are about 6 hours long (not including breaks). Please indicate the duration of your proposed workshop in your application. REVIEW PROCESS: Each workshop proposal should contain all the information that the workshop chairs and the program committee need to judge the importance and quality of the workshop and the interest in the proposed topic. Each workshop may have one or more designated organizers and, possibly, a workshop program committee. Workshop organizers need to set up their own web site with the workshop materials, to be linked to from the Cognitive Science Conference web site. PROPOSAL: If you want to submit a proposal, please follow the instructions at: http://csep.psyc.memphis.edu/cogsci07/workshop.htm IMPORTANT DATES February 1, 2007: Submissions due at 5:00pm GMT February 26, 2007 Reviews due for Workshop proposals March 12, 2007 Reviews due for Tutorial proposals March 1, 2007: Notification of acceptance or rejection for workshops March 26, 2007: Notification of acceptance or rejection for tutorials April 30, 2007: Camera-ready abstract copy due for inclusion in proceedings TUTORIAL AND WORKSHOP CHAIRS Michael Schoelles (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) Katja Weimer-Hastings (Northern Illinois University) PROGRAM COMMITTEE Erik M.

The topic of computational cognitive process models in defense-related R&D will be addressed in the symposium, and given your current and past research programs, I'm hoping that you will consider submitting past unpublished results, summaries, lessons-learned, or reports on active research in this area. If you have colleagues who you think would be interested in submission and aren't listed on this distribution, I'd encourage you to forward this along to them as well. I hope to see you in Honolulu, Paul What: First IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence for Security and Defense Applications (CISDA 2007) Where: Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA When: April 1-5, 2007 Important Dates: Submission: November 30, 2006 Notification: December 30, 2006 Camera-Ready: January 15, 2007 Conference: April 1-5, 2007 CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED PAPERS Given the current global security environment, there has been increased interest within the military and security communities in novel techniques for solving challenging problems within their domains. The genesis of this interest lies in the fact that repeated attempts of using traditional techniques have left many important problems unsolved, and in some cases, not addressed. Additionally, new problems have emerged within the broad areas of the global war on terrorism, homeland security, and force protection that are difficult to tackle with conventional methods, since social, cultural and human behavioral factors tend to be at the heart of these new types of problems. The purpose of the conference is to present current and ongoing efforts in computational intelligence (e.g., Neural networks, Fuzzy systems, Evolutionary computation/algorithms, Swarm intelligence, and other emerging learning or optimization techniques) as applied to military and defense security problems. The military and security problems domains of interest for this session include, but are not limited to the following: * Command and Control of Military Operations * Intelligence Gathering and Exploitation * Modeling and Simulation of Military Operations * Advanced Computer Architectures for Military Operations * Cyber Security * Computational Cognitive Modeling * Automatic Target Recognition * Programs for Training * Models for War Games * Mine Detection * Situation Assessment * Logistics Support * Design of military systems/subsystems * Course of Action Generation * Mission Planning and Execution * Airspace Management and Deconfliction * Resource Management * Route/Sortie Planning * Mission Weapon Pairing and Assignment * Employment of Autonomous Vehicles CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS CISDA 2007 also solicits proposals for special sessions with the technical scope of the symposium, generally focusing on a special hot topic. Papers submitted to special sessions are to be peer reviewed with the same criteria used for the contributed papers. Researchers interested in organizing a special session are invited to submit a proposal which includes the session title, a brief description of the scope, a list of potential authors that might submit papers to the special session, and brief bios of the special session organizers. PAPER SUBMISSION Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of no more than eight (8) pages including results, figures and references. Authors should submit their papers as PDF through the online submission system, which will be available at the website http://www.cidefense.org/Submissions. The title page of the paper should include author name(s), affiliation, mailing address, telephone, fax, and e-mail address. Prospective authors are expected to present their paper at the symposium.
