JULY 7 - 18 2014
Universite du Québec à Montreal
Montreal, Canada
Registration: http://www.summer14.isc.uqam.ca/page/inscription.php?lang_id=2


Cognitive Science and Web Science have been converging in the study of cognition: 

      (i) distributed within the brain 
      (ii) distributed between multiple minds 
      (iii) distributed between minds and media

The four themes of the Summer Institute are:

      (1) The Data Web 
      (2) The Social Web
      (3) The Extended Mind?
      (4) The Global Brain?
