CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: The Thirteenth Annual Meeting of The Cognitive Science Society August 7th - 10th 1991 Chicago, Illinois The Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society is a multi-disciplinary conference aimed at bringing together researchers studying cognition in humans and machines. The 1991 meeting will be held at the University of Chicago, hosted by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Computer Science Department. Areas of interest to the Society include: Cognitive Psychology Connectionist Models Artificial Intelligence Cognitive Neuroscience Linguistics Education Philosophy of Mind Cognitive Development Cognitive Anthropology Philosophical Foundations Invited speakers currently include: Geoffery Hinton, Lucy Suchman, Steve Kosslyn, and Doug Lenat. Three types of submissions are encouraged: Papers, Symposia, and Videotape/Computer presentations. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers: Authors should submit five (5) copies of their papers in hard copy form. All paper submissions should be sent to: Cognitive Science 1991 Department of Computer Science University of Chicago 1100 East 58th Street Chicago, IL 60637 Papers will be accepted either for presentation as talks or posters. Authors are encouraged to submit new work to the poster sessions. They provide a less formal forum for introducing work in its early stages. Unfortunately, electronic and FAX submissions cannot be accepted. Appearance and Length: Papers should be 8 pages long (excluding title page); have 1 inch margins on top, bottom, and sides; and use no smaller than 10pt type. Camera ready versions of papers will be required only after authors are notified of acceptance. Title Page: Each copy of the paper must include a title page, separate from the body of the paper. This should contain: 1. Title of the paper. 2. Full names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses (if available) of all authors. 3. An abstract of 100-200 words. 4. The area/subarea in which the paper should be reviewed. 5. A note stating whether the first author is a student and should thus be considered for the David Marr award. Time Table: In order to avoid overlapping the submission date for the Machine Learning Conference, we have extended the deadline for Cognitive Science such that papers must be RECEIVED BY MARCH 18TH, 1991. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be made on or before April 24th, 1991 with camera ready versions of papers due May 20th. Symposia: Symposium proposals should include a single page describing the issue or issues that the panel will address, followed by a page for each participant describing relevant work. In general, we recommend that individuals interested in chairing symposia contact the Program Chairs as soon as possible so that details of personnel and content can be discussed. Videotape/Computer Presentations: Videotape and computer presentations will be made during the poster sessions. We are interested in presentations that demonstrate results in the areas of: Artificial Intelligence, Protocol analysis, Educational tools, and Cognitive Ethnographic studies. Authors should submit one copy of a videotape of 15 minutes maximum duration, accompanied by a submission letter that includes: Title; names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of all authors; three copies of an abstract of one to two pages in length. Researchers wishing to present computer demonstrations should contact Kristian Hammond as soon as possible to discuss review criteria and ensure machine availability.
