[Forwarded from the CSLI newsletter by Laws@SRI-AI.] 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). However, we welcome your discussing ideas for books and software programs and packages with any of the members of the Editorial Advisory Board who may be your close colleagues: John Anderson Drew McDermott Horace Barlow Robert Moore Jon Barwise Allen Newell Emilio Bizzi Raymond Perrault John Seely Brown Roger Schank Daniel Dennett Candy Sidner Geoffrey Hinton Shimon Ullman Stephen Kosslyn David Waltz Jay McClelland Robert Wilensky Yorick Wilks
