Meeting Description:

Recent years have seen increased interest in applying logical methods and
frameworks, the traditional subject matter of ESSLLI, to cognitive modeling,
whereby logical models of cognitive phenomena are tested against empirical
data. At the same time, there has recently been an explosion of activity in
the cognitive sciences around (structured) statistical, and specifically
Bayesian, models. With this workshop we propose to bring together two groups
of researchers -- logicians focused on cognitive modeling, and cognitive
scientists incorporating logical structure into probabilistic models -- with
the aim of cross-pollination, and ideally, a consensus on how these two
traditions relate, and how we might combine the best of what both have to
offer. The primary aim is to gain a better understanding of (i) how cognitive
computational models could be enriched by logical insights and (ii) how
logical models may be turned into cognitive models.

Call for Papers:

Please send your submission in PDF format, at most 10 pages in LNCS style, 10 pts, bibliography included (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 ). If needed due to space reasons, technical material such as proofs may be added in an appendix of at most 5 pages. The PDF files have to be uploaded online via the workshop's submission website:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pccl2015

The author notification date is April 15, 2012. Prior to the workshop, speakers will have the opportunity to submit an extended abstract for inclusion in the ESSLLI proceedings (deadline June 1, 2012). All participants must register for ESSLLI.
