The Reaching for Mind workshop, held at AISB '95, explicitly
addressed itself to the current crisis in Cognitive Science. In
particular, the issue of how this discipline can address
consciousness was a leitmotif in the workshop. The conclusion
seems inescapable that there is a need for two sciences in this
area. Cognitive Science can be freed to become a fully-fledged
experimental epistemology by the creation of a science of
consciousness encompassing also subjectivity. This exciting
collection of papers indicates where both these sciences may be
heading. Contributors include Bernard Baars, John Taylor,
William Hoffman and Se/an /O Nuall/ain.

College, Dublin (UCD), Ireland and a Ph.D. in Computer Science
from Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. He is currently on
sabbatical leave at the National Research Council (NRC), Canada
from his Associate Professor (tenured lecturing) post at Dublin
City University (DCU), Ireland where he initiated and directed
the B.Sc. in Applied Computational Linguistics. He is the
author of a book on the foundations of Cognitive Science: "The
Search for Mind" (Ablex, 1995). He has run the international
workshop on "Reaching for Mind" (co-chair Paul Mc Kevitt) at
Sheffield, England in April, 1995.
Paul Mc Kevitt is 32 and from D/un Na nGall (Donegal), Ireland on
the Northwest of the EU. He is a Visiting Professor of
Intelligent Multimedia Computing at Aalborg University in
Denmark, EU and a British EPSRC (Engineering and Physical
Sciences Research Council) Advanced Fellow in the Department of
Computer Science at the University of Sheffield in Sheffield,
England, EU. The Fellowship, commenced in 1994, and releases him
from his Associate Professorship (tenured Lecturership) for 5
years to conduct full-time research on the integration of natural
language, speech and vision processing. He is currently pursuing
a Master's Degree in Education at the University of Sheffield.
He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of
Exeter, England in 1991. His Master's Degree in Computer Science
was obtained from New Mexico State University, New Mexico, USA in
1988 and his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from
University College Dublin (UCD), Dublin, Ireland in 1985. His
primary research interests are in Natural Language Processing
(NLP) including the processing of pragmatics, beliefs and
intentions in dialogue. He is also interested in Philosophy,
Multimedia and the general area of Artificial Intelligence.
Eoghan Mac Aog/ain is Director of Instidiud Teangeolaiochta
(Linguistics Institute) of Ireland. He studied philosophy at
University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland and psychology at the
Centre for Advanced Study in Theoretical Psychology at the
University of Alberta, Canada. He has participated in a number
of EU Natural Language Processing (NLP) projects, and is
currently involved on PAROLE, which will provide computational
lexica and corpora for 13 Union languages to a common standard.
His interests include corpus-based approaches to grammar writing
and the design of language learning programmes. He is the fonder
