[Bill Rand]

We have extended the deadline for papers for the upcoming workshop on 
Extending Computational Cognitive Modeling to Issues of Multi-Agent 
Interaction.  The new deadline is March 20th.  The CFP is below.  Thank 
you in advance for you time,

EXTENDING COMPUTATIONAL COGNITIVE MODELLING TO ISSUES OF MULTI-
AGENT INTERACTION

in conjunction with ICAI'07, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (June 25-28, 2007)

Call for Papers
The fields of cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and the social 
sciences can together 
create a better understanding of cognition and social processes than they can 
independently 
of each other. Some efforts in social sciences, especially social simulations, 
have evolved an 
understanding of social processes in societies independently from the other two 
fields. 
However Sun (2006) among other has shown that there is relation between 
individual 
cognition and social processes. Can this connection be understood by exploring 
the 
relationship between computational cognitive modeling and social simulation? 
How is the 
cognition of a society different from individual cognition? In this session we 
will examine 
these questions and many more.  We invite submissions of research that 
investigate any of 
the following topics: (1) the relation between individual and social cognition, 
(2) multi-agent 
models that are related to advances in individual cognition, (3) social 
simulations that utilize 
cognitive science or artificial intelligence techniques, (4) aspects of social 
cognition that 
require modeling, and (5) the integration of cognitive models of learning into 
multi-agent 
interaction.

Submission of Papers
Authors are invited to submit their draft paper (between 5 to 7 pages - single 
space, font size 
of 10 to 12) to Sule Yildirim (address@hidden) or Bill Rand (address@hidden) 
before the deadline. E-mail submissions in MS document or PDF formats are 
preferable. All 
reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable. These are general guidelines, if 
you would like 
to submit in a different format please contact the coordinators. 
Papers must not have been previously published or current submitted for 
publication 
elsewhere. Upon acceptance authors will be asked to follow the IEEE style 
format in preparing 
their papers for publication (max. 7 pages).  The first page of the submission 
should include:
-Title of the paper 
-Name, affiliation, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number and fax 
number for each 
author  
-Name of the author who will present the paper should be indicated 
-A maximum of five keywords

Session Format

The session will begin with an overview of the topic by the coordinators, and 
the peer-
reviewed papers will then be orally presented.  If time permits a wrap-up 
discussion will take 
place at the end of the session.

Important Dates 
Extended Submission deadline: 20 March, 2007.  
Notification of acceptance: 7 April, 2007.  
Camera-ready due: 27 April, 2007.  
Conference registration deadline: 27 April, 2007.
Conference dates: June 25-28, 2007 
See ICAI'07 website for complete details. 
Publication
The conference proceedings will be published by CSREA Press (ISBN) in hardcopy. 
The 
proceedings will be available for distribution at the conference . 
 
Some accepted papers will also be considered for journal publication (soon 
after the 
conference). All conference proceedings published by CSREA Press are considered 
for 
inclusion in major database indexes that are designed to provide easy access to 
the current 
literature of the sciences (database examples: ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE 
INSPEC, DBLP, ...).
