ICCM 2013 - 12th International Conference on Cognitive Modelling

ICCM 2013, the 12th International Conference on Cognitive Modelling, invites you to submit original papers presenting research that utilizes computational techniques for aiding our understanding of human cognition and intelligence.
ICCM is the main international conference for computational models of human cognition. It is at the forefront of research into how to model all aspects of human cognition and behavior, as well as methodologies for validating the models. The conference has run since 1996, and attracts the leading researchers in this field. All modeling research areas, including symbolic AI, distributed representations, and neural spike coding, are featured in ICCM, with an emphasis on the creation of cognitive architectures: that is, we emphasize the development of general-purpose computational systems for simulating complex, human cognitive abilities.
Research topics include:
cognitive modeling
cognitive architectures
agent architectures
expert systems
user modelling
adaptive behaviour
symbolic AI
distributed representations
neural spike coding
semantic web
Types of submissions
Papers: refereed papers of up to 6 pages. If a submission is accepted to be published as a paper, the paper will be presented at the conference either as a talk or as a poster. Papers are to be submitted in Cognitive Science Society Conference format, as detailed here: (Due March 25)
Posters: refereed poster abstracts of 1 or 2 pages. If accepted, the corresponding poster will be presented at the conference in a dedicated poster session. (Due March 25)
Symposium Proposals: The 6 page submission for a symposium should consist of an introduction to the topic of the symposium by the organizer(s), and one extended abstract per presenter. (Due March 25)
Tutorials: The first day of the conference is devoted to tutorials on various cognitive modelling techniques and approaches. If you are interested in submitting a proposal for a tutorial, see the submission instructions here: (Due March 20)
ICCM encourages researchers to make their models publicly available, so as to encourage model re-use and comparisons. ICCM maintains an online archive of papers, presentations, and models from previous years, available at .
