               CLARIFICATION OF THE CALL FOR PAPERS

                The Thirteenth Annual Meeting of  
                 The Cognitive Science Society
                        August 7th - 10th 
                     1991 Chicago, Illinois

In order to avoid overlapping the submission date for the Machine
Learning Conference and give authors as much time as possible to
prepare their papers, we have extended the deadline for Cognitive
Science 1991 such that papers must be RECEIVED BY MARCH 18TH, 1991.

We are also requesting that papers be limited to eight (8) pages to
better approximate their final camera ready form.

Other details of the submission follow:

------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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.
