CALL FOR PAPERS


Journal of Cognitive Systems Research

Editors-in-Chief
Ron Sun
E-mail: rsun at cs.ua.edu
Department of Computer Science and Department of Psychology
University of Alabama
Tuscaloosa AL, USA

Vasant Honavar

The Journal of Cognitive Systems Research covers all topics in the
study of cognitive processes, in both natural and artificial systems:

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Learning
Perception
Action
Memory
Problem-Solving and Cognitive Skills
Language and Communication
Agents
Integrative Studies of Cognitive Systems

The journal emphasizes the integration/synthesis of ideas, concepts,
constructs, theories, and techniques from multiple paradigms,
perspectives, and disciplines, in the analysis, understanding and
design of cognitive and intelligent systems.  Contributions describing
results obtained within the traditional disciplines are also sought if
such work has broader implications and relevance.

The journal seeks to foster and promote the discussion of novel
approaches in studying cognitive and intelligent systems.  It also
encourages cross-fertilization of disciplines, by publishing
high-quality contributions in all of the areas of study, including
artificial intelligence, linguistics, psychology, psychiatry,
philosophy, system and control theory, anthropology, sociology,
biological sciences, and neuroscience.

The scope of the journal includes the study of a variety of different
cognitive systems, at different levels, ranging from social/cultural
cognition, to individual cognitive agents, to components of such
systems.  Of particular interest are theoretical, experimental, and
integrative studies and computational modeling of cognitive systems,
at different levels of detail, and from different perspectives.



Please send submissions in POSTSCRIPT format by electronic mail to one
of the three co-Editors-in-Chief.

Note

The journal transends traditional disciplinary boundaries, and
considers contributions from all relevant disciplines and approaches.
The key is the quality of the work and the accessibility and relevance
to readers in different disciplines.

The first issue of this new on-line journal, published by
ElsevierScience, will appear in early 1999.  In addition to this
electronic journal, the issues will also be printed and bound as
archival volume. Published papers will be considered automatically for
inclusion in specially edited books on Cognitive Systems Research.
