KogWis 2018: 14th Biannual Conference of the German Cognitive Science Society
Centre for Cognitive Science, Technische Universität Darmstadt
S1|05: Hörsaal 122, Maschinenhaus, Magdalenenstraße 12
Darmstadt, Germany, September 3-6, 2018

***** By popular demand, the submission deadline for abstracts has been extended to May 1st. *****

***** Also, please note the call for Tutorials and Symposia at the end of this mail. *****

***** GK Best Paper award, GK Best Poster awards, and Student Travel awards announced. *****

KogWis 2018 will be held in Darmstadt, Germany, and invites submissions of extended abstracts on current work in cognitive science. Generally all topics related to cognitive science are welcome. Contributions that address the focus of this meeting, that is, computational cognitive science are particularly encouraged. Computational approaches to cognitive science emphasize formalizing adaptive and intelligent behavior and have strong ties to machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Confirmed keynote speakers:
Frances Egan (Rutgers University)
Noah Goodman (Stanford University)
Mate Legyel (University of Cambridge)
Iris van Rooij (Radboud University Nijmegen)
Christopher Summerfiled (University of Oxford)

Call for Presentations and Posters
We call for extended abstracts for oral presentations and for posters. Submissions should be written in English, and be formatted according to the formatting guidelines below. Contributions must be submitted by 20 April 2018 via the EasyChair submission webpage:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kogwis2018

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the review committee. Acceptance will be based on novelty of research, significance of results, and quality of presentation. Accepted abstracts will be published in the online conference proceedings. All accepted contributions must be presented at the conference. So at least one author must register by the early registration deadline or the contribution will not be included in the program.

The best submissions to KogWis 2018 will be selected for oral presentation at the conference.

Call for Symposia
Submission is now open for proposals for symposia to be presented at KOGWIS2018. The deadline for submitting a symposium proposals is May 11th, 2018. A symposium should involve several presenters, typically 4-5, organized around a topic of interest. Symposia may be on any topic in cognitive science. The KOGWIS program committee will strive for quality, variety, innovation, and diversity of the program; special emphasis will be put on this year's topic: computational approaches to cognitive science.
Please submit proposals for a symposium directly as a single abstract for the symposium topic. On the second page of the abstract, please list the speakers who will be participating in the symposium and the title of their contributions.
Send the the two page abstract via e-mail with the subject "Symposium proposal" directly to:
kogwis2018 at cogsci.tu-darmstadt.de

Call for Tutorials
We invite proposals for tutorials to be held at KOGWIS2018. The KOGWIS program committee is interested in tutorials that disseminate information to conference attendees on recently emerging topics and trends as well as foundation topics, provide surveys of complementary techniques to those commonly studied in cognitive science, and inform attendees on the state-of-the-art within the field. We encourage submissions of proposals on topics in the general areas of cognitive science but particularly encourage tutorials on computational approaches to cognitive science.
Please submit proposals for a tutorial directly as one abstract for the tutorial topic according to the same guidelines as regular abstracts via e-mail with the subject "Tutorial proposal" directly to:
kogwis2018 at cogsci.tu-darmstadt.de

GK Best Paper Award (2016-2018)
The GK Best Paper Award is awarded for the best publication in cognitive science by a young investigator whose PhD has been awarded within the last three years or who is still earning a PhD. Applications are accepted for peer reviewed papers, which have been accepted for publication or have been published since May 2016.
Applications should be submitted by June 1st 2018 via e-mail to the head of the GK (vs1 at gk-ev.de)  and include a single PDF document with:
