COGNITIVE SCIENCE SOCIETY CONFERENCE

Call for Papers and Proposals

We are pleased to announce the twenty-first annual meeting 
of the Cognitive Science Society on August 19-21, 1999.  
The conference site is Vancouver, British Columbia, 
on the downtown campus of Simon Fraser University. 
Our goal in organizing this conference is to reflect the full 
spectrum of the many research areas in Cognitive Science.  
We welcome all submissions, and trust that multiple 
research themes will emerge naturally.  We are especially 
interested in submissions in areas that have been under
represented at recent conferences.  There are six
categories for submissions:

Spoken Papers:  20-minute spoken presentations;
reviewed and published as six-page papers in the
Proceedings.  Submission length: up to 2000 words.

Symposia:  Two-hour spoken presentations, including
three or more well-integrated talks on a common topic;
reviewed and published as one-page abstracts in the
Proceedings.  Submission length: up to 1000 words.

Posters:  Standard poster presentations; reviewed and
published as 6-page papers in the Proceedings. 
Submission length: up to 2000 words.

Abstract Posters:  Poster presentations by full
members of the Society only;  not reviewed or
published in the proceedings. Submission length: 
up to 500 words.  Society members can submit 
abstracts for posters through March 6, 1999.

Tutorials:  Sessions devoted to technical tutorials
may be offered.  Possible topics include hidden Markov
models, ACT model, cognitive task analysis, & fMRI.

Workshops:  Sessions devoted to education in Cognitive
Science may also be offered.  Proposals for "how-to"
sessions on undergraduate and graduate programs of
study are requested. For more information, see
http://depts.vassar.edu/~cogsci/Workshops.html

Review Process:  Submissions for spoken papers,
standard posters, and symposia will be reviewed by
these criteria: Technical/Theoretical Merit; Relevance
to a Broad Audience of Cognitive Science Researchers;
Clarity of Presentation; Significance; and Originality. 

*****All submissions will be refereed electronically.
We require camera-ready paper copies only once
accepted for publication.  Information on electronic
submission formats can be found at our conference
