HINWEIS an alle deutschen Kognitionsforscher/innen:
In diesem Jahr veranstaltet die Cognitive Science Society ihre Jahrestagung, erstmalig ausserhalb von Nordamerika, in Europa. Die Annahme dieser an der Universität Edinburgh ausgerichteten Tagung durch aktive Beteiligung aus Europa wird ein wichtiges Signal für die derzeit diskutierte Internationalisierung der Cognitive Science Society sein. Überlegen Sie deshalb, gerade in diesem Jahr Ihre Arbeiten für die erste CogSci in Europa einzureichen.
Nachstehend der erste Aufruf; deadline ist der 7. Februar 2001.
Viel Erfolg.

Cognitive Science pursues a scientific understanding of the mind through all available methodologies, notably those of anthropology, artificial intelligence, computer science, education, linguistics, logic, neuroscience, philosophy and psychology, in whatever combinations are most appropriate to the topic at hand.
The focus of this year's conference will be to represent the full breadth of research in the cognitive sciences, in ways that will lead to useful mutual interaction. All contributions should be addressed to an interdisciplinary audience.

• STANDARD SPOKEN PAPERS: 20-minute spoken presentations, which (if accepted) will be published as 6-page papers in the Proceedings;
• STANDARD POSTERS: poster presentations, which (if accepted) will be published as 6-page papers in the Proceedings;
• ABSTRACT POSTERS: poster presentations, which (if accepted) will be published in the Proceedings as one-page abstracts, but can be submitted only by members of the Cognitive Science Society. For information about membership, see http://www.umich.edu/~cogsci or contact the Executive Officer, Colleen Seifert (Fax: (734) 429-9248; email: cogsci@umich.edu; mail: Cognitive Science Society, 5618 Ann Arbor-Saline Road, Saline, MI, 48176).
• SYMPOSIA: 90-minute spoken presentations, including three or more well-integrated talks on a common topic and possibly a discussant, which if accepted will be published as one- page abstracts in the Proceedings.

Submissions for standard spoken papers, standard posters, and symposia will be reviewed by an international panel of experts according to the following criteria:
Significance;Relevance to a Broad Audience of Cognitive Science Researchers; Originality; Technical Merit; and Clarity of Presentation.

ALL submissions for standard spoken papers, standard posters, abstract posters, and symposia should be submitted according to the instructions at http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/cogsci2001.
Electronic templates will be provided for a number of formats.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept material not submitted on these templates.
Authors whose submissions are accepted will be notified in time to return final versions of their contributions by late April.
