Connectionists: Best paper prizes in computational cognitive modeling forCogsci 2006

[schunn+@pitt.edu]

Four prizes worth $1,000 (USD) each will be awarded for the best full
paper submissions to the 2006 Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science
Society that involve computational cognitive modeling.  The four
separate prizes will represent the best modeling work in the
respective areas of: perception, language, higher-level cognition, and
applied cognition. The prizes are open to researchers at any level
(student, postdoc, research scientist, faculty) from any nationality.
Any form of computational cognitive modeling relevant to cognitive
science will be eligible, including (but not limited to)
connectionism, symbolic, Bayesian, dynamic systems, or various
hybrids.


No special submission procedure is required---all full paper
submissions to the conferences will be automatically considered, using
the interdisciplinary program committee that is supervising the review
process. The full paper submission deadline is February 1st, 2006. For
further details about the conference submission procedure, see
http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/~rsun/cogsci2006/.


These prizes are supported by a grant from the US National Science
Foundation.
