    MANUSCRIPTS SOLICITED FOR NEW MIT PRESS/BRADFORD BOOKS SERIES

     MIT Press/Bradford  Books has  announced  a new  series  entitled
"Computational Models of Cognition and Perception" edited by Jerome A.
Feldman, Patrick J. Hayes, and David E. Rumelhart.

     The  series  will  include  state-of-the-art  reference works and
monographs, as well as upper  level texts,  on computational models in
such  subject  domains as  knowledge representation,  natural language
understanding, problem  solving,  learning and  generalization,  motor
control, speech perception and production, and all areas of vision.

     The series will span  the full range  of computational models  in
cognition and  perceptual research  and teaching,  including  detailed
neural models, models based on symbol-manipulation languages, and mod-
els employing techniques of formal logic. Especially welcome are works
treating experimentally  testable  computational  models  of  specific
cognitive and  perceptual  functions; basic  computational  questions,
particularly relationships between  different classes  of models;  and
representational questions linking computation  and semantics to  par-
ticular problem domains.

     Manuscript  proposals  should  be  submitted  to  one  the  three
editors, or to Henry Bradford Stanton, Publisher, Bradford Books,  The
MIT Press,  28 Carleton  Street  Cambridge, MA  02142  (617-253-5627).

programs and  packages  with  any  of the  members  of  the  Editorial
Advisory Board who may be your close colleagues:
