[ACT-R-users] 2015 ACT-R Workshop

[Christian Lebiere]

*Twenty-Second Annual ACT-R Workshop*


The Twenty-Second Annual ACT-R workshop will take place from Friday July 17
to Sunday July 19, 2015 at Carnegie Mellon University. As in past years,
the workshop will consist of symposia, tutorial and talk sessions.
Participants are invited to present their ACT-R research by submitting a
one-page abstract with their registration. Suggestions for the topics of
the tutorials and symposia are requested.  Friday afternoon will feature a
presentation by an invited speaker.



This year, the theme of the workshop is *Scaling Up*.  While we have
achieved tremendous success developing limited-capacity, task-specific
models, the ultimate goal of generating models capable of broad,
human-level, task-general capabilities still largely eludes us.  The ACT-R
community has explored numerous approaches to achieve that goal, including
instruction following, theories of learning and transfer (e.g., PRIM, IBL),
model composition and generalization (e.g., supermodels), high-level
modeling languages (e.g., Herbal, HLSR), and integration with other
cognitive systems (e.g., robotics).  The central goal of the workshop is to
better understand the reasons underlying the challenges that we are facing
and the relations between the various approaches aimed at addressing them,
and outline a roadmap to potential long-term solution(s).  While we welcome
presentations on all topics relevant to ACT-R, please specify in your
submission if your presentation is related to this theme and if so how.
Also feel free to propose tutorials and suggest specific symposia topics
related to the workshop theme.



Admission to the workshop is open to all.  The early registration fee
(before June 1) is $100 and the late registration fee (after June 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 *June 1* to receive full consideration for
inclusion in the workshop program.  A preliminary program of presentations
will be made available in early July.  Housing is available on a limited
basis in the CMU dormitories for the duration of the workshop at the rate
of about $60/day for single rooms and $40/day for double rooms.

 Registration information will be available at a later date.  Inquiries can
be sent to cl at cmu.edu.
