Since ICCM takes place in State College, PA and the Cognitive Science meeting is in Philadelphia, PA, the PGSS will take place in Lancaster, PA at the Cork Factory Hotel . Room reservations should be made by phone or email (not the web site) using the code "ACT-R" to secure the meeting rate of $104/night. The preliminary PGSS schedule is available on the ACT-R web site, together with a registration page. The PGSS registration fee is $100 before July 1, and $125 afterwards.

I recently discovered that there is a possible opening for a post-doctoral associate under my advisorship at ARL with either the National Research Council or Oak Ridge Associated Universities programs. For more information on the post-doctoral program, please see the following web site: http://sites.nationalacademies.org/pga/rap/. The solicitations on this web site cover both the NRC and ORAU programs. The benefits include a competitive salary, moving expenses, health insurance options, and a travel budget. I am looking for candidates who have or are close to receiving a Ph.D. and have both empirical and computational modeling background in one or more of the following areas: executive function, decision making, knowledge representation, linguistics, mental workload, or working memory. The project (which will require a proposal for funding developed jointly with the candidate and myself) will involve the analysis of intelligence information for the generation of networks. Please contact me at daniel.n.cassenti.civ at mail.mil if you're interested. Also, if you know someone who could benefit from this note, please forward on. Thanks in advance for your help! Best Regards, Dan ____________________________________ Daniel N.

Multitasking becomes ever more pervasive in everyday life. It is therefore important to have a better understanding of how the human brain processes multiple tasks. This can help us predict whether any given combination of tasks go well together. Furthermore it is important to know the nature of choice in multitasking: when do people choose to take on a secondary task, or decide to switch from one task to another. A better understanding can help to improve human-computer interaction, and to make people aware of how they can improve their own multitasking. The symposium features a series of talks by international experts in the field and will be concluded with a panel-discussion around the question of what we have learned from research on multitasking and interruptions so far. Registration is free and open until June 16. For more information go to http://www.iccm2015.org/multitask/ or send an email to S.K.Mehlhorn at rug.nl. We are looking forward to seeing you at the symposium!
