EXTENDING COMPUTATIONAL COGNITIVE MODELLING TO ISSUES OF
MULTI-AGENT INTERACTION
in
conjunction with ICAI07, 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: 15 March,
2007.
Notification
of acceptance: 5 April,
2007.
Camera-ready due: 20 April,
2007.
Conference registration deadline: 20 April,
2007
See ICAI07 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, ...).
