Introduction to the Integrated Models of Cognitive Systems workshop and edited volume

IMoCS is a work in progress. Essential points are the following:

  • Focus on basic research issues and theories concerning the control of integrated cognitive systems.
  • All participant workshop expenses will be paid. Each participant will receive a modest honorarium.
  • Length of workshop: basically 2.5 days with a reception scheduled the night before the sessions begin.
  • Dates: March 3–6 (Thursday evening through Sunday noon) 2005.
  • Location: The Inn at Saratoga, Saratoga Springs, New York.
  • Publication schedule: Drafts of workshop chapters will due 3-mon following the workshop.
  • Publisher: Both OUP and Erlbaum have expressed enthusiasm for this project — a contract with OUP has been signed. [More information on the status of the book >.]

Note that next to most people’s names I have listed 1–2 representative pubs. These are meant as pointers for the rest of us as to the sort of work that person has done that strikes me as directly relevant to the aims of the workshop and book. It is NOT what I expect the person to lecture on. The more I researched the topic, the more I realized that the workshop is riding a wave of interest in integrated cognitive systems and their control. Almost as soon as people ask questions involving more than one putative cognitive function, the issue of control arises.

Everyone who is coming should send me the citations for 1–2 of your pubs that are most in spirit with the session topic. One of the future versions of this site will include a list of everyone who is attending the workshop along with the citations for 1–2 of their pubs. (Thanks)
