1.  Call for tutorials, Sixth International Conference of Cognitive
Modeling

Call for tutorials:    (http://acs.ist.psu.edu/iccm04/)
Proposals due 13 February
Tutorials on 29 July 2004

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

2.  Call for tutorials for The Cognitive Science Society Conference

http://acs.ist.psu.edu/cogsci2004

The Tutorials program at Cognitive Science 2004 will be held on 4 August
2004. They will provide conference participants with the opportunity to
gain new insights, knowledge, and skills from a broad range of areas in
the field of cognitive science. Tutorial topics will be presented in a
taught format and are likely to range from practical guidelines to
academic issues and theory. This is the fourth year that tutorials in
this format will be offered.

Proposals are due on 6 February 2004.

******************************************

3.  AISB'04 Symposia

"Motion, Emotion, and Cognition" will be  the general theme of AISB2004,
to encourage sessions on gesture communications, emotion analysis and
simulations, and so on.  Full list of symposia will be
available through http://www.leeds.ac.uk/aisb    29 March to 1 April
(inclusive) at the U. of Leeds.

       http://www.ecce12.org.uk/

Living and Working with Technology
University of York, UK
12th-15th September 2004

ECCE-12 seeks to encourage dialogue among the diverse disciplines that
contribute to the conference theme of =EBLiving and Working with
Technology=ED. We invite contributions that examine psychological,
social, cultural and design aspects related to this theme.

Submissions in the form of papers, posters, and panels addressing
theoretical, empirical, methodological and design issues around the
theme of =EBliving with technology=ED are welcome.

ECCE-12 will be held immediately following the British HCI Conference in
nearby Leeds.

5. Call for Papers, 6th German Workshop on Artificial Life  2004
(GWAL-6)
    http://www.uni-bamberg.de/ppp/insttheopsy/gwal6

14.04.2004 - 16.04.2004 in Bamberg, Germany

Artificial Life is a still growing interdisciplinary research field
integrating a variety of different theoretical foundations,
methodological positions, applications and disciplines. Main focus of
this science is to abstract and to synthesize the essential features and
dynamics of living systems in order to create artificial, life-like
systems.

On a regular basis and from 1995 on the German Workshop on Artificial
Life is organized.  Like previous workshops the 6th German Workshop on
Artificial Life in 2004 is intended to provide the opportunity for
scientists from a broad spectrum of research areas to get in touch with
their colleagues from different disciplines, to learn from one another
about questions of mutual interest and to have a forum for scientists
who would like to get into contact with the Artificial Life community.
This workshop is again open to an international audience and will be
held in English.

Contributions to the GWAL 2004 may result from research efforts from
(and may be of interest for) biology, physics, information and computer
science, chemistry, mathematics, psychology, sociology, philosophy,
robotics, socionics and much more.

We expect to have talks, poster sessions, workgroups and computer
demonstrations covering but not limited to topics like artificial
chemistries, simulations of ecological and evolving systems, structure,
dynamics and self-organization of individual living systems and
societies, autonomous robots, communication in artificial systems,
modelling of biological processes, learning and intelligence, complexity
and its emergence, adaptive behaviour, self-organization and dynamics of
information processing, application of principles of life to the design
of artificial systems and technical solutions. For oral presentations
and posters please submit 6- page abstracts, for
workgroups/workshops/tutorials and computer demonstrations please submit
2-page papers.

Contributions may describe theoretical foundations, empirical
investigations and results, ongoing research, fresh concepts and ideas,
applications or they may as well identify and discuss open questions.

IMPORTANT DATES
    Dead-Line for submissions: 31.12.2003
    Notification of acceptance: 01.02.2003
    Camera-ready copies: 01.03.2004
    Conference: 14.04.2004 - 16.04.2004.

The conference is organized by Harald Schaub, Frank Detje and Ulrike
Br=FCggemann. http://www.uni-bamberg.de/ppp/insttheopsy/gwal6

6.  New Technical Group on Human Performance Modeling

Dick Pew and Wayne Gray are co-organizing a new Technical Group on Human
Performance Modeling that will be based in the Human Factors and
Ergonomics Society.

The requirements to form a new TG include getting 200 people (min) to
express their support. HFES sees TGs as a way of bringing new blood into
the organization so they are quite happy if half of the supporters are
NOT current members of HFES.

If you are at all interested please go to:

http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/cogworks/hpm-tg/

There you will find:

A. Information on "Why" a new TG in HFES on HPM is a good idea; an
assessment of its likely impact on existing modeling conferences and
groups; why situating the HPM-TG within HFES is a good idea; the
philosophy of the HFES Conferences that makes them an ideal venue for
presenting work-in-progress; etc.

B. A draft of the "Proposal" that Dick and I will submit to HFES'
Council of Technical Groups once we obtain > 200 expressions of interest

C. A form that asks you for your name, email, affiliation, and a few
questions. Once you click "submit" your info will be saved to a dbase.

I think this is an exciting venture and an idea whose time has come. It
is in part a result of the continuing inspiration I have drawn from
Newell & Card (1985) over the years, as well as a direct result of the
excitement that greeted the recent special issue that Mike Byrne and I
did for the Human Factors journal.

So -- please check out the website, read our materials, download them,
and sign up as a supporter of this new group.
