==========================================================================
We'd appreciate your limiting conference announcements to 150 lines,
so that we can post more than 1 per issue. Please consider omitting
information useful only to attendees, such as information on housing,
transportation, or rooms and times of sessions. Please do not use
abbreviations or acronyms for your conference unless you explain
them in your text. Many people outside your area of specialization
will not recognize them. Thank you for your cooperation.

Subject: Nineteenth Annual Cognitive Science Conference
The Nineteenth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society will
be held at Stanford University from August 7 to 10, 1997. This year's
meeting will run four days and include eight half-day symposia on
selected topics. For information about registration and housing, see
the conference web site at
http://www-csli.stanford.edu/cogsci97
which also contains information about other aspects of the meeting.
We have kept this year's registration fee low to make the conference
accessible to as many people as possible. Registration is only $100
for members of the Cognitive Science Society and $155 to $183 for
nonmembers.
However, this rate holds only until the early registration deadline
of July 1, 1997, so please register as soon as possible. On-campus
housing, which we encourage, is also available if you register by this
date. The conference web site includes both postscript and electronic
versions of the registration and housing form. We look forward to
seeing you at Stanford this August.
