Connectionists: BICA 2010 abstracts (Nov 12-14 Washington DC)

[Alexei Samsonovich]

Greetings,

At this time we solicit short (~150 words) abstracts for publication in the BICA 2010 Proceedings by IOS Press and for presentation at BICA 2010 (http://bicasymposium.com : November 12-14, Washington DC, collocated with AAAI FSS; "BICA" stands for Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures, i.e. inspired by the human brain-mind). This is an opportunity for those who missed the paper submission deadline. If you are interested, please email your abstract simultaneously to samsonovich at cox.net and kamillarj at gmail.com together with the title, keywords, author names, affiliations, addresses and contact information, not later than within a week.

In addition, we are planning to publish in the BICA 2010 Proceedings a CATALOG OF IMPLEMENTED COGNITIVE ARCHITECTURES, intended as a general reference. All contributors will be listed as co-authors of this publication, provided they agree. The catalog will be based on the current comparative table (http://bicasymposium.com/cogarch). In order for your cognitive architecture to be included in the catalog, it needs to be entered into the table. All you need for this to happen is to prepare a column describing your architecture following instructions at the above site and email the resultant xls file to me (samsonovich at cox.net, alexei at bicasymposium.com) within 2 weeks.

If you are planning to attend BICA 2010 with or without a presentation, please keep in mind that the current room rate at the conference site, Holiday Inn for the days of BICA 2010 is $109.99 (http://www.holidayinn.com/washarlington), and the current low registration fee is still $200 USD, which includes the reception on Nov 12, hard copies of Proceedings and IJMC Special Issue on BICA (you can register online at http://members.cox.net/bica2010/registration/).

Finally, every BICA 2010 participant is invited to present a cognitive robotic demo, or any physical demo relevant to BICA. Please notify me if you plan to bring a robot, unless you did so already. I am looking forward to an extremely synergistic and productive BICA meeting.

Cheers,
-Alexei
