4)  The Tenth Annual Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems, due 12

The conference will take place from
Saturday, 12 Nov, to Tuesday, 15 Nov 22. Workshops will
occur on Saturday and the regular program will begin on Sunday. Current
plans are for the event to be held virtually.

The conference brings together a diverse set of researchers who pursue
the original goals of AI. That is, the overarching
theme of the conference is to explain cognition in computational terms
and to reproduce a broad range of intelligent behaviors and human
abilities in computational artifacts.

The conference welcomes many types of research, including demonstrations
of new capabilities, empirical studies of implemented systems, and
formal analyses of complex tasks. The term "cognitive" refers to any
computational artifact that thinks or reasons, whether or not it works
the same way as humans.

Topics of interest include:

* Conceptual Inference and Reasoning
* Problem Solving, Planning, and Heuristic Search
* Common Sense and Qualitative Modeling
* Memory Storage and Retrieval
* Structural Learning and Knowledge Capture
* Natural Language Understanding and Generation
* Discourse and Dialogue Processing
* Vision, Audition, and High-level Perception
* Mental Imagery and Iconic Processing
* Cognitive Models and Architectures
* Cognitive Robotics and Embodied Cognition
* High-level Execution and Control
* Multi-Tasking and Attention
* Social Cognition and Interaction
* Cognitive Aspects of Emotion and Personality
* Metacognition and Meta-level Reasoning

We encourage participation from anyone who is interested in
computational approaches to complex cognition, human-level intelligence,
and related topics.

The submission deadline is 12 Aug 22. Papers may be submitted via

RofASSS is a novel publishing venture (free and
online) designed to promote academic discussion on all aspects of social
simulation. Contributions are not peer reviewed (being rejected only for
irrelevance, incoherence, plagiarism or libel) but are permanently
citable and available for subsequent commentary. This allows much more
rapid publication (and debate) and so is complementary to existing
journals. At the same time, the aim of RofASSS is to provide an outlet
for contributions useful to the quality of social simulation that
(unlike articles and book reviews) will not easily find a home
elsewhere. These include blue sky research ideas, reassessments of
historical contributions, technical ideas supporting progressive
research, evaluative summaries of events that may set an agenda for new
research and so on.

RofASSS has now published more than 50 contributions (with over 100
citations) since Jun 2018, has more than 1000 subscribers (and receives
800 views per month) but we would welcome more writers, more readers and
more thoughtful comments on existing contributions. If you have had an
interesting idea that won’t leave you alone, that has academic value but
is not suitable for a journal article, consider whether RofASSS may be
the right venue for it.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Dr. Edmund

7)  CFP: Special issue Computational Cognitive Models for Human-Automated
Vehicle Interaction, due 30 Sep (optional) and 31 Dec

**International Journal of Human-Computer Studies **

This special issue is focused on the development, evaluation, and
discussion of computational cognitive models of human-automated vehicle
interaction. The capabilities of automated vehicles are rapidly
increasing and change human interaction with the vehicle. Yet, at the
same time, fully automated vehicles that do not require human
interaction are not available. Therefore, systems are needed in which
the human and the vehicle interact together. Computational cognitive
models that can describe, predict, and/or anticipate human behavior and
thought can play a crucial role in this regard. Such models can for
example inform designers about potential human states and the
consequences of interface design for safety, aid the vehicle in
anticipating human actions (e.g., anticipating levels of attention or
trust), and aid research in better understanding how theories of human
behavior and thought apply (or do not fit with) observations in applied
field. Cognitive models are developed in many fields including cognitive
science, HCI, and AI. We
hope that our special issue will collect submissions from researchers
from these and many other fields. To constrain the type of models, our
special issue focuses on models of human behavior and thought. This
contrasts with other model approaches such as deep learning models that
are used to train a car, and that do not consider (extensively) the role
of human cognition. An even more detailed description of the topic can
be found on our special issue website: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cpjanssen.nl%2FIJHCS22%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ciccm-l%40lists.psu.edu%7C0fb0af3e0b894db1246808da6dc5ec46%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C637942994077946212%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=QfJHob32Zs9Iva3GkN0EVMV3qBWIki3HdG3rOmXXkFo%3D&reserved=0

*Submission types*

Articles must be based on original research, although extended versions
of published conference papers may be acceptable if they contain at
least 50% new material. IJHCS likes to publish concrete research
contributions with a user-centric and/or engineering element. All
submissions should have an explicit connection to both human-automated
vehicle interaction AND computational cognitive modeling. For
human-automated vehicle interaction, various levels of automation can be
considered (e.g., SAE Levels 1-5). For computational cognitive modeling,
the model should be a model that captures aspects of human behavior or
thought. Articles can have a focus on empirical, design, or theoretical
aspects.

Within the field of human-automated vehicle interaction various topics
might be of interest, as long as they connect to human-automated vehicle
interaction AND computational cognitive modeling. For example, they
could address one of these challenges:

  * What phenomena and driving scenarios need to be captured? Such
    papers would connect computational cognitive models and empirical
    study results for relevant phenomena, such as: transitions of
    control, dynamic attention, mental models, mode confusion, training
    and skill, shared control.
  * What technical capabilities and limitations do computational
    cognitive models possess that are relevant to the field of
    human-automated vehicle interaction? For example, compatibility,
    adaptation, speed of development, and broader adoption.
  * How can computational cognitive models of human-automated vehicle
    interaction benefit from developments in the field of AI, while also 
avoiding pitfalls? For example, around topics such as explainability, 
scalability and generalization, and
    system training and corrective feedback. (note: papers that purely
    focus on AI models are not suitable for the special issue; there
    should be a connection to human behavior and thought)
  * How can computational cognitive models of human-automated vehicle
    interaction inform design, governmental policy, and/or other fields
    and vice-versa? For example, what are relevant questions and
    insights from and for these other fields? How can there be better
    integration of ideas from these fields? How can the models better be
    integrated in the design process? How can automated vehicles benefit
    from models?

Other topics are potentially also relevant. Authors that have different
ideas and suggestions are highly encouraged to contact the editors to
discuss their ideas.

*Review process*

Papers are subject to the regular IJHCS review process (see
