CogSci05 - Annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Association Stresa 21-23 July 2005 http://www.psych.unito.it/csc/cogsci05/ CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS The Center for Cognitive Science in Torino (Italy) is organizing the XXVII annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Association. I'm in charge of spreading the news on the web to the interested audience and of course I thought that the Gesellshaft für Kognitionwissenschaft would be interested in giving this announcement. Below is the text-only version that we prepared for the international mailing list. I was wondering is there is any way to let the announcement be sent to an GK mailing list and/or publish an announcement of the conference on your website. Below is the text-only announcement with the official call for papers. Thanks in advance.

The conference will be held in Stresa (Piedmont, Italy). Our goal in organizing this conference is to reflect the full spectrum of the many research areas in Cognitive Science. We welcome all submissions, and trust that multiple research themes will emerge naturally. We are especially interested in submissions in areas that have been under-represented at recent conferences. There are following categories for submissions: Papers: 20-minute spoken presentations (or poster presentation); reviewed and published as six-page papers in the Proceedings. Submission length: up to 5000 words (6 printed pages) if no figures are included. Symposia: Two-hour spoken presentations, including three or more well-integrated talks on a common topic; reviewed and published as one-page abstracts in the Proceedings. Submission length: up to 1000 words. Conference Tutorials: Sessions devoted to technical tutorials may be offered. Review Process: Submissions for spoken papers, standard posters, and symposia will be reviewed by these criteria: Technical/Theoretical Merit; Relevance to a Broad Audience of Cognitive Science Researchers; Clarity of Presentation; Significance; and Originality. All submissions will be refereed electronically. We require camera-ready paper copies only once accepted for publication. Information on electronic submission formats can be found the submission web page: http://www.psych.unito.it/csc/cogsci05/submission.html Electronic templates can be found at the same page. Conference chairs: Prof. Bruno G. Bara, Lawrence Barsalou and Monica Bucciarelli e-mail: cogsci05@psych.unito.it Postal Mail: CogSci05, Center for Cognitive Science, Via Po 14 - CAP 10123 - Turin - Italy DEADLINE: All submissions must be received by FEBRUARY 6, 2005 for consideration.

Society members can submit abstracts for posters through May 12, 2005. NEW! Call for centers In the occasion of the 27th Cognitive Science Conference, we are introducing a novel way for research centers to publicize and share their work with colleagues from all around the world. This year we are going to bring together in Stresa not only researchers, but their resesarch centers as well! If your center or department is interested in hosting an exhibit at the Conference, we will provide you with the appropriate spaces and all the logistic support you may need, at a minimum cost. You just need to bring the material you would like to show (like posters, leaflets, CDs, computer presentations...) and one or more people who will attend to the exhibit. We believe this is an exciting opportunity for research centers to present themselves in a more thorough and life-like way, as working teams of people with theirown philosophy, projects, research programs and educational proposals. This is also an excellent way to tell people about the history of your center, to mark its place in the landscape of contemporary Cognitive Science and to show where it is heading in the next future. This kind of presentation will also attract researchers and students from other countries, who may be unfamiliar with your past research or may have missed the larger picture of your current projects. Both large and small research centers can benefit from this new presentation format. We encourage you to discuss it with your colleagues, and hope that many will take advantage of this new opportunity. Come to Stresa and bring your center with you! Address Proposals will be taken care of individually, to best suit your needs in terms of space and equipement. They should be addressed to Marco Del Giudice, at delgiudice@psych.unito.it. We will also be pleased to answer your questions and provide you with more information. Pricing The typical exhibit will cost $300 (cost price) and include a 2x3 m (6'7"x9'10") panel, a table and two chairs. Additional panels, furniture, computers etc. may be added at an extra cost.
