COGNITIVE SCIENCE QUARTERLY
SPECIAL ISSUE on
"Desires, Goals, Intentions, and Values: Computational Architectures"
CALL FOR PAPERS
(Submission deadline: August 31, 2001)
The modelling of motivational mental representations and their
integration in a cognitive architecture is a topic of crucial
interest to both Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science in
general. This special issue aims to foster the integrative and
bridge-building work that is often called for to counteract the well
known tendency to fragmentation of cognitive approaches into narrow
and isolated sub-disciplines. It is also time to translate into
architectural terms the debate on the interrelations among cognitive,
motivational, decisional, rational, and emotional aspects of the mind.
In particular, contributions from the following domains are welcomed:
- cognitive modelling, including psychologically oriented computer
modelling, and models from the psychology of action, linking
cognition and motivation to the control of goal-directed behavior;
- formal approaches to mental states (like logics of beliefs,
intention, and action) and their interrelations and dynamics;
- AI, computational intelligence, and robotic models and
architectures (not necessarily implemented) of cognitive agents,
including "autonomous agents", and hybrid and layered architectures.
Authors should be aware that the intended audience is
interdisciplinary. Their papers should be aimed at fostering the
exchange and cross-fertilization among different approaches to the
modelling of motivational mental representations. They should not be
focused on formal or logical or implementation aspects, but rather on
arguments and reasons for their theoretical and formal choices, and
for their implicit or explicit architectures.
Submission type and procedure
Authors interested in submitting a paper should send a preliminary
title and an abstract of at least 200 words to one of the guest
editors of the Special Issue, by April 30, 2001.
Papers should be written in English, not exceed 30 double-spaced
pages (including figures, tables, and references), and include a
separate cover page with the title, authors (full address), abstract,
and a list of about 5 key words. The final drafts have to use the
Word style sheet that can be downloaded from the Cognitive Science
Quarterly homepage: www.iig.uni-freiburg.de/cognition/csq where one
can also find the Guidelines for Authors. However, for the first
drafts, any other format is approved.
Submissions should be sent both electronically, as postscript or PDF
files, and by airmail (a single hard copy) to one of the guest
editors of the Special Issue, by August 31, 2001.
All submissions will be peer reviewed. Authors might be asked to
contribute to a cross-reviewing process by evaluating each other's
works, in order to to favor both interdisciplinary discussions and
cross-references. In addition, each manuscript will be reviewed by
external reviewers.
