This is based on the International Cognitive Modeling Conference
mailing list that I maintain. I forward messages about twice a year.
(this is the second one for ICCM 2012.)
The first announcement is driving this email --
the schedule and web site for ICCM 2012 in Berlin are up.
If you would like to be removed, please just let me know. I maintain
it by hand to keep it small.
cheers,

1. ICCM 2012, Berlin, Germany, 12-15 April 2012
http://www.iccm2012.com
The conference will be held from 13 to 15 April 2012 in Berlin at the
Technische Universitat Berlin (Berlin Institute of Technology
(TU/Berlin)). The conference web page is htpp://www.iccm2012.com
The International Conference on Cognitive Modeling (ICCM) is the
premier conference for research on computational models and
computation-based theories of human behavior. ICCM is a forum for
presenting, discussing, and evaluating the complete spectrum of
cognitive modeling approaches, including connectionism, symbolic
modeling, dynamical systems, Bayesian modeling, and cognitive
architectures. ICCM includes basic and applied research, across a wide
variety of domains, ranging from low-level perception and attention to
higher-level problem-solving and learning.
ICCM 2012 will be held in Berlin, Germany, on the campus of
the Technische Universitat Berlin. The main conference will be held
April 13-15, 2012 and the tutorials will be held April 12, 2012. We
hope to see you in Berlin,
The chairs are:
"Nele Russwinkel" <nele.russwinkel at zmms.tu-berlin.de>,

2. ICCM 2012 tutorials call, Berlin, Germany, 12 April 2012, due 3 dec 11
http://www.iccm2012.com/tutorials/
The Tutorials program at the International Conference on Cognitive
Modeling (ICCM) 2012 will be held on 12 April 2012. It will provide
conference participants with the opportunity to gain new insights,
knowledge, and skills from a broad range of areas in the field of
cognitive modeling. Tutorial topics will be presented in a taught
format and are likely to range from practical guidelines to
theoretical issues or software. Tutorials at ICCM have been held many
times before, and this year's program will be modelled after them and
after the series held at the Cognitive Science Conference.
If you are interested, please see the web site for more details.

http://www.brimsconference.org
You are invited to participate in the 21st Conference on Behavior
Representation in Modeling and Simulation (BRIMS), to be held at the
Amelia Island Plantation, Amelia Island, Florida (near the Georgia /
Florida border). 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 Department of Defense related
applications. The BRIMS Conference will consist of many exciting
elements in 2012, including special topic areas, technical paper
sessions, special symposia/panel discussions, and government
laboratory sponsor sessions.
Highlights of BRIMS 2012 will include a fantastic lineup of keynote
speakers spanning cognitive modeling, sociocultural modeling, and
network science.
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).
KEY DATES: [estimated]
All submissions due: 6 Jan 2012
Tutorial Acceptance: 31 Jan 2012
Authors Notification 31 Jan 2012
Final version due: 18 Feb 2012

4. Dissertation Prizes in Cognitive Science
http://cognitrn.psych.indiana.edu/CogSciPrizes/index.htm
[this is a repeat, but is new and worth attention]
Call for Nominations
The Robert J. Glushko Dissertation Prizes in Cognitive Science
Nomination Deadline: January 15, 2011
The Cognitive Science Society and the Glushko-Samuelson Foundation
seek nominations for up to five outstanding dissertation prizes in
cognitive science. The goals of these prizes are to increase the
prominence of cognitive science, and encourage students to engage in
interdisciplinary efforts to understand minds and intelligent
systems. The hope is that the prizes will recognize and honor young
researchers conducting ground-breaking research in cognitive science.
The eventual goal is to aid in efforts to bridge between the areas of
cognitive science and create theories of general interest to the
multiple fields concerned with scientifically understanding the nature
of minds and intelligent systems. Promoting a unified cognitive
science is consistent with the belief that understanding how minds
work will require the synthesis of many different empirical methods,
formal tools, and analytic theories. 2011 is the inaugural year of
this annual prize. Up-to-date information on the prizes can be found
at http://cognitrn.psych.indiana.edu/CogSciPrizes/index.htm .
A Description of the Prizes
1) Up to five Robert J. Glushko Dissertation Prizes in Cognitive
Science will be awarded annually. Each prize will be accompanied
by a certificate and a $10,000 award to be used by the recipient
without any constraints. Prize winners will also receive three
years of complimentary membership in the Cognitive Science Society
starting with the year in which they have won the prize.
2) Prize-winning dissertations are expected to transcend any one of
the individual fields comprising cognitive science. They should
centrally address issues of interest to multiple fields that
comprise cognitive science, including: psychology, computer
science, philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, neuroscience, and
education.
3) Prize-winners must have received a PhD degree no more than two
years before the January 15 nomination deadline. For the 2011
prizes, dissertations will be considered from individuals who
received their PhD degrees during the period from January 15, 2009
to January 15, 2011.
4) The dissertation prizes are open to any student who has conducted
dissertation research related to cognitive science, regardless of
nationality or originating department.
How to submit details are on the web site.
The deadline for nominations is January 15, 2011. Awardees will be
announced by April 15, 2011.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The challenge of creating a real-life computational equivalent of the
human mind calls for our joint efforts to better understand at a
computational level how natural intelligent systems develop their
cognitive and learning functions. The scope of BICA 2011 includes:
- BICA models of robust learning mechanisms;
- models of perception, cognition and action;
- emotional and social intelligence in artifacts;
- vital constraints informed by neuroscience,
- human-like episodic and semantic memory;
- metacognition, human-like self-regulated learning, bootstrapped
and meta-learning;
- language acquisition and symbol grounding;
- the "critical mass" for cognitive growth in a learning environment,
scalability of learning;
- the roadmap to solving the challenge.
Confirmed speakers include Murray Shanahan, Christian Lebiere, Antonio
Chella, Stuart Shapiro, Keith Downing, Brandon Minnery, David Noelle,
Frank Ritter, Jeff Krichmar, David Vernon, Scott Fahlman, Amy Kruse,
Art Pope, Brandon Rohrer.
