The Journal of Cognitive Systems Research covers all topics in the
study of cognitive processes, in both natural and artificial systems: 

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning 
Learning 
Perception 
Action  
Memory 
Problem-Solving and Cognitive Skills 
Language and Communication 
Agents 
Integrative Studies of Cognitive Systems

The journal emphasizes the integration/synthesis of ideas, concepts, 
constructs, theories, and techniques from multiple paradigms, perspectives,
and disciplines, in the analysis, understanding and design of cognitive and
intelligent systems.  Contributions describing results obtained within 
the traditional disciplines are also sought if such work has broader
implications and relevance.

The journal seeks to foster and promote the discussion of
novel approaches in studying cognitive and intelligent systems.
It also encourages cross-fertilization of disciplines,
by publishing high-quality contributions in all of the areas of study, 
including artificial intelligence, linguistics, psychology, psychiatry, 
philosophy, system and control theory, anthropology, sociology, 
biological sciences, and neuroscience.

The scope of the journal includes the study of a variety of different
cognitive systems, at different levels, ranging from social/cultural
cognition, to individual cognitive agents, to components of such systems.
Of particular interest are theoretical, experimental, and integrative 
studies and computational modeling  of cognitive systems,
at different levels of detail, and from different perspectives.



Please send submissions in POSTSCRIPT format by electronic mail to one
of the three co-Editors-in-Chief.

Note
The journal transends traditional disciplinary boundaries, 
and considers contributions from all relevant disciplines and approaches. 
The key is the quality of the work and the accessibility and relevance
to readers in  different disciplines.

The first issue of this new on-line journal, published by ElsevierScience, 
will appear in early 1999. 
In addition to this electronic journal, the issues will also be printed
and bound as archival volume. Published papers will be considered
automatically for inclusion in  specially edited books on Cognitive
Systems Research.
