EUROPEAN SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF COGNITIVE SYSTEMS

20th ANNUAL WORKSHOP, 29-31 August 2003
Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany

The 20th workshop will take place in Freiburg im Breisgau,
Germany from Friday 29 August, 10 hours (10 a.m.) to Sunday
31 August in the afternoon, depending on the number of
papers. There will be a welcome party on Thursday 28 August,
from 18.00 hours (6.00 pm.). It will be possible to stay from
Thursday 28, and to leave on 1 Sept.

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.
