EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM ORIGINAL CFP
After discussion with the advisory board, we decided to go with a
three-tiered approach after all.  There will be six page papers in the
proceedings for both talks and posters.  However, even if your
paper/poster is not accepted, you will have a chance to submit a one
page abstract for publication and poster presentation.  Or, you may
submit a one-page abstract initially (actually two pages in the
submission format) for guaranteed acceptance.  This is meant to
accommodate the very different cultures of the component disciplines
of the Society, while making a minimal change from previous years'
formats.
 
Also, this CFP provides a partial list of the program committee, the
plenary speakers, a rough schedule for the paper reviewing process,
and some keywords to aid in the process of reviewing your paper.
 
 
INTRODUCTION
The Annual Cognitive Science Conference began with the La Jolla
Conference on Cognitive Science in August of 1979.  The organizing
committee of the Eighteenth Annual Conference would like to welcome
members home to La Jolla.  We plan to recapture the pioneering spirit
of the original conference, extending our welcome to fields on the
expanding frontier of Cognitive Science, including Artificial Life,
Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience, Evolutionary Psychology, as
well as the core areas of Anthropology, Computer Science, Linguistics,
Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Psychology.  As a change this year, we
follow the example of Psychonomics and the Neuroscience Conferences
and invite Members of the Society to submit short abstracts for
guaranteed poster presentation at the conference.
 
The conference will feature plenary addresses by invited speakers,
invited symposia by leaders in their fields, technical paper sessions,
a poster session, a banquet, and a Blues Party.  San Diego is the home
of the world-famous San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, Sea World, the
historic all-wooden Hotel Del Coronado, beautiful beaches, mountain
areas and deserts, is a short drive from Mexico, and features a high
Cappuccino Index.  Bring the whole family and stay a while!

GUIDELINES FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Novel research papers are invited on any topic related to cognition.
 
Members of the Society may submit a one page abstract (two pages in
double-spaced submission format) for poster presentation, which will
be automatically accepted for publication in the proceedings.
Submitted full-length papers will be evaluated through peer review
with respect to several criteria, including originality, quality, and
significance of research, relevance to a broad audience of cognitive
science researchers, and clarity of presentation.  Papers will be
accepted for either oral or poster presentation, and will receive 6
pages in the proceedings in the final, camera-ready format.  Papers
that are rejected at this stage may be re-submitted (if the author is
a Society member) as a one page abstract in the camera-ready format,
due at the same date as camera-ready papers.  Poster abstracts from
non-members will be accepted, but the presenter should join the
Society prior to presenting the poster.
 
Papers accepted for oral presentation will be presented at the
conference as scheduled talks.  Papers accepted for poster
presentation and one page abstracts will be presented at a poster
session at the conference.  All papers may present results from
completed research as well as report on current research with an
emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives.
Posters may report on recent work to be published elsewhere that has
not been previously presented at the conference.
 
Authors should submit five (5) copies of the paper in hard
copy form by Thursday, February 1, 1996, to:
 
Dr. Garrison W. Cottrell
Computer Science and Engineering 0114
FED EX ONLY: 3250 Applied Physics and Math
University of California San Diego
La Jolla, Ca. 92093-0114
 
phone for FED EX: 619-534-5948 (my secretary, Marie Kreider)
 
If confirmation of receipt is desired, please use certified mail or
enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope or postcard.
 
DAVID MARR MEMORIAL PRIZES FOR EXCELLENT STUDENT PAPERS
Papers with a student first author are eligible to compete for a David
Marr Memorial Prize for excellence in research and presentation.  The
David Marr Prizes are accompanied by a $300.00 honorarium, and are
funded by an anonymous donor.
 
LENGTH
Papers must be a maximum of eleven (11) pages long (excluding only the
cover page but including figures and references), with 1 inch margins
on all sides (i.e., the text should be 6.5 inches by 9 inches,
including footnotes but excluding page numbers), double-spaced, and in
12-point type.  Each page should be numbered (excluding the cover
page).  Template and style files conforming to these specifications
for several text formatting programs, including LaTeX, Framemaker,
Word, and Word Perfect are available by anonymous FTP from
"cs.ucsd.edu" in the "pub/cogsci96/formats" directory.  There is a
self-explanatory subdirectory hierarchy under that directory for
papers and posters.  Formatting information is also available via the
World Wide Web at the conference web page located at
"http://www.cse.ucsd.edu/events/cogsci96/".
 
Submitted abstracts should be two pages in submitted format, with the
same margins as full papers.  Style files for these are available at
the same location as above.
 
Final versions of papers and poster abstracts will be required only
after authors are notified of acceptance; accepted papers may be
published in a CD-ROM version of the proceedings.  Abstracts will be
available before the meeting from a WWW server.  Final versions must
follow the HTML style guidelines which will be made available to the
authors of accepted papers and abstracts.
 
This year we will again attempt to publish the proceedings in two
modalities, paper and a CD-ROM version.  Depending on a decision of
the Governing Board, we may be switching completely from paper to
CD-ROM publication in order to control escalating costs and permit use
of search software.  [Comments on this change should be directed to
"alan at lrdc4.lrdc.pitt.edu" (Alan Lesgold, Secretary/Treasurer).]
 
COVER PAGE
Each copy of the submitted paper must include a cover page,
separate from the body of the paper, which includes:
1. Title of paper.
2. Full names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail
   addresses of all authors.
3. An abstract of no more than 200 words.
4. Three to five keywords in decreasing order of relevance.
   The keywords will be used in the index for the proceedings.
   You may use the keywords from the attached list, or you
   may make up your own.  Please try to give a primary
   discipline (or pair of disciplines) to which the paper is
   addressed (e.g., Psychology, Philosophy, etc.)
5. Preference for presentation format: Talk or poster, talk
   only, poster only.  Poster only submissions should follow
   paper format, but be no more than 2 pages in this format
   (final poster abstracts will follow the same 2 column
   format as papers).  Accepted papers will be presented as
   talks.  Submitted posters by Society Members will be
   accepted for poster presentation, but may, at the
   discretion of the Program Committee, be invited for oral
   presentation.  Non-members may join the Society at the
   time of submission.
6. A note stating if the paper is eligible to compete for a
   Marr Prize.
 
DEADLINE
Papers must be received by Thursday, February 1, 1996.
Papers received after this date will be recycled.
