Sixth International Conference of Cognitive Modeling

ICCM-2004      http://simon.lrdc.pitt.edu/~iccm

To be held July 29 - August 1, 2004, in Pittsburgh, USA (jointly
between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh).


THEME
ICCM brings researchers together who develop computational models
that explain/predict cognitive data. The core theme of ICCM2004 is
Integrating Computational Models: models that integrate diverse data;
integration across modeling approaches; and integration of teaching
and modeling.

ICCM2004 seeks to grow the discipline of computational cognitive modeling.
Towards this end, it will provide
- a sophisticated modeling audience for cutting-edge researchers
- critical information on the best computational modeling teaching
resources for teachers of the next generation of modelers
- a forum for integrating insights across alternative modeling
approaches (including connectionism, symbolic modeling, dynamical
systems, Bayesian modeling, and cognitive architectures) in both
basic research and applied settings, across a wide variety of
domains, ranging from low-level perception and attention to
higher-level problem-solving and learning.
- a venue for planning the future growth of the discipline


INVITED SPEAKERS

Kenneth Forbus (Northwestern University)
Michael Mozer (University of Colorado at Boulder)


SUBMISSION CATEGORIES --- DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: April 1st 2004

Papers and Posters
Papers and posters will follow the 6-page 10-point double-column
single-spaced US-letter format used by the Annual Cognitive Science
Society Meeting. Formatting templates and examples will be made
available on the website. The research being presented at ICCM-2004
will appear in the conference proceedings. The proceedings will
contain 6-page extended descriptions for paper presentations and
2-page extended abstracts for poster presentations. There will also
be an opportunity to attach model code and simulation results in an
electronic form.

Comparative Symposia
Three to five participants submit a symposium in which they all
present models relating to the same domain or phenomenon. The
participants must agree upon a set of fundamental issues in their
domain that all participants must address or discuss. Parties
interested in putting a comparative symposia proposal together are
highly encouraged to do so well before the April 1st deadline and
will be given feedback shortly after submission. Please see the
website for additional information.

Newell Prize for Best Student Paper
Award given to the paper first-authored by a student that provides
the most innovative or complete account of cognition in a particular
domain. The winner of the award will receive full reimbursement for
the conference fees, lodging costs, and a $1,000 stipend.

The Best Applied Research Paper Award
To be eligible, 1) the paper should capture behavioral data not
gathered in the psychology lab OR the paper should capture behavioral
data in a task that has high external validity; 2) the best paper is
the one that one from this category that provides the most innovative
or complete solution to a real-world, practical problem.

Doctoral Consortium
Full-day session 1 day prior to main conference for doctoral students
to present dissertation proposal ideas to one another and receive
feedback from experts from a variety of modeling approaches. Student
participants receive complimentary conference registration as well as
lodging and travel reimbursement---maximum amounts will be determined
at a later date.
