ACT-R Workshop 2008

The ACT-R workshop will take place from Friday July 18 to Sunday July  
20. Mornings will be devoted to research presentations, each lasting  
about 20 minutes plus questions. Participants are invited to present  
their ACT-R research by submitting a one-page abstract with their  
registration. Afternoons will feature more research presentations as  
well as discussion sessions and instructional tutorials.  Suggestions  
for the topics of the tutorials and discussion sessions are welcome.   
Friday afternoon will feature a presentation by the invited speaker,  
John Laird from the University of Michigan. We expect to wrap up the  
workshop at around noon on Sunday.

Admission to the workshop is open to all.  The early registration fee  
(before July 1) is $100 and the late registration fee (after July 1)  
is $125.  Informal proceedings of past workshops can be found on the  
ACT-R web site (http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/workshops/). Requests for  
presentations should be submitted before July 1 to receive full  
consideration for inclusion in the workshop program.  A preliminary  
program of presentations will be made available in early July.  The  
workshop is scheduled to just precede the Cognitive Science conference  
which takes place in Washington, D.C. from July 23 to 26. (http://www.cognitivesciencesociety.org/ 
). Housing and computing facilities will be provided at CMU from July  
21 to 23 for workshop participants who wish to stay on to work on  
their ACT-R projects and collaborate with other researchers until the  
start of Cogsci.

dorms ($57/night), the other is the Holiday Inn in Oakland (100 LYTTON  
AVE) at a rate of $118/night.
