[ACT-R-users] CFP: Behavioral Representation in Modeling & Simulation (BRIMS) 2010 - Submission Site Open!

Wed Nov 4 12:34:45 EST 2009

The BRIMS submission website is now open (see www.brimsconference.org for
details)!

You are invited to participate in the 19th Conference on Behavior

Representation in Modeling and Simulation (BRIMS). BRIMS enables modeling

and simulation research scientists, engineers, and technical communities

across disciplines to meet, share ideas, identify capability gaps, discuss

cutting-edge research directions, highlight promising technologies, and

showcase the state-of-the-art in applications. The BRIMS Conference will

consist of many exciting elements in 2010, including special topic areas,

technical paper sessions, special symposia/panel discussions, and government

laboratory sponsor sessions. 

BRIMS 2010 includes a dynamic and eclectic lineup of keynote speakers:

Wayne Gray, PhD

      Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, www.rpi.edu/~grayw/ 

LCDR Joseph Cohn, Phd

      DARPA, www.darpa.mil/dso/personnel/cohn.htm

Jerrold Post, MD 

      George Washington University, www.gwu.edu/~elliott/faculty/post.cfm

Robert Axtell, PhD 

      George Mason University, www.santafe.edu/profiles/?pid=79

The BRIMS Executive Committee invites papers, posters, demos, symposia,

panel discussions, and tutorials on topics related to the representation of

individuals, groups, teams and organizations in models and simulations. All

submissions are peer-reviewed (see www.brimsconference.org for additional
details on submission types).
