ICCM 2010 - 10th International Conference on Cognitive Modeling (ICCM)

The International Conference on Cognitive Modeling (ICCM) is the premier conference for research on computational models and computation-based theories of human behavior. ICCM is a forum for presenting, discussing, and evaluating the complete spectrum of cognitive modeling approaches, including connectionism, symbolic modeling, dynamical systems, Bayesian modeling, and cognitive architectures. ICCM includes basic and applied research, across a wide variety of domains, ranging from low-level perception and attention to higher-level problem-solving and learning.

ICCM 2010 will be held in Philadelphia, PA, on the campus of Drexel University. The main conference program will run August 6-8, 2010, and tutorials and the doctoral consortium will be held August 5, 2010.
