European Society for the Study of Cognitive Systems: 15th Annual Workshop

Anmerkung des GK-Schriftführers:

Da das Workshop dieser Gesellschaft dieses Jahr in Deutschland stattfindet, bietet es vielleicht für einige GK-Mitglieder eine gute Gelegenheit, die Gesellschaft kennenzulernen.

Organisator Dr. Dalenoort schreibt u.a.: "Characteristic of the meetings of the ESSCS is the multidisciplinary approach, and the relatively low cost of the meetings."

EUROPEAN SOCIETY FOR
THE STUDY OF COGNITIVE SYSTEMS

15th ANNUAL WORKSHOP, 1-4 June 1997
Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany

The 15th workshop will take place in Freiburg im Breisgau,
Germany from Monday 2 June, 9 hours (9 a.m.) to Wednesday
4 June in the afternoon, depending on the number of
papers. There will be a welcome party on Sunday 1 June,
from 18.00 hours (6.00 pm.). It will be possible to stay from
Saturday (important for cheap airline tickets).

The aim of the annual workshops is the exchange of knowledge,
information, and opinions on all aspects of cognition and
related topics, with emphasis on exchanges between
different disciplines involved. Papers may be either of a
general kind, or specific, but with sufficient attention for
the general aspects, and understandable for the audience
from a wide variety of disciplines. The following disciplines
belong explicitly to the scope of the workshop:

- psychology (cognitive, developmental), perception,
- artificial intelligence (general aspects),
- associative memory and neural networks, neuroscience,
- linguistics (also computational), disorders of language,
- education and instruction,
- philosophy, history of concepts.

Experimental papers should be placed within a theoretical
framework. Papers accepted for the workshop may be
published in the journal of the ESSCS, 'Cognitive Systems'.

The scientific meetings will take place in the 'Conference Centre
Waldhof', on the outskirts of Freiburg. Accomodation will be
available in convenient single and double rooms. Full accomodation,
including breakfast, lunch, and dinner is DM 100.- per person per
day. A block booking has been made until 1st March 1997.

Freiburg can be reached by train and by car; the
nearest international airport is Basel-Mulhouse (exit via
France, then by German bus in about one hour to Freiburg).

Please send abstracts of papers as soon as possible.
Last-minute participation is possible if room is available,
but the number of papers is limited to 24, and the number
of participants to about 40.
