European ACT-R Spring School and Workshop

Organizers: Niels Taatgen and Hedderik van Rijn

University of Groningen, Netherlands

April 11-16, 2011

We are pleased to announce our two invited speakers for the workshop:

- Kevin Gluck (Air Force Research Laboratory)
- Andrew Howes (University of Manchester)

ACT-R is a cognitive theory and simulation system for developing cognitive models for tasks that vary from simple reaction time paradigms to driving a car and air traffic control. After a very successful first year, we will organize the second European ACT-R Spring School and Workshop. There will be no regular US summer school or workshop this year, but instead a post-graduate summer school (16-19 July) just before the Cognitive Science conference (see http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/actrnews/index.php?id=37).

Spring School

The spring school will take place from Monday April 11 to Thursday April 14. After an earlier call for applications, we have selected a group of students for a "traditional summer school curriculum", and a group of more experiences modelers who will join us to work on their own projects during the week.

European ACT-R Workshop

The European ACT-R workshop will take place from Friday April 15 to Saturday April 16.  Both days 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 title and abstract with their registration, which will be published online in informal proceedings. We are also open for proposals for other types of contributions, for example small symposia. We also want to set aside some time to discuss possibilities to attract European funding. 

Admission to the workshop is open to all. The early registration fee is Euro 100 and the late registration fee (after March 12) is Euro 150. Requests for presentations should be submitted before February 28 to receive full consideration for inclusion in the workshop program.  A preliminary program of presentations will be made available sometime in March. If, because of travel plans, an earlier decision about a submission is required, please contact us. 

Housing 

We have reserved a block of rooms in the University Guest House. These will be primarily allotted to spring school students, but any rooms left over will be made available to workshop participants. Alternatively, other hotels can be found at, for example, http://www.hotels.nl/groningen/ - but be aware that some of the hotels advertised as being in Groningen are a car-ride from the city center/location of the spring school and workshop.
