Call for Participation

   ICCL Summer School 2010
   
   COGNITIVE SCIENCE, COMPUTATIONAL LOGIC AND CONNECTIONISM
   
   Technische Universität Dresden
   August 29 -- September 11, 2010

   http://www.computational-logic.org/iccl-ss-2010


TOPIC
 
   The summer school will focus on the relationship between modern
   formal logic (including its use for automated reasoning and
   computation) and, on the other hand, the rationality and common
   sense underlying human reasoning.  Traditionally, a huge gap is
   perceived between the symbolic representation of knowledge used in
   modern logic and the sub-symbolic representation considered
   dominant in human reasoning. Psychological experiments of the past
   even suggested that people often don't reason logically and, in
   general, that logic seems to play only a minor role in human
   reasoning. However, recently, new ways of explaining human
   reasoning seem to revive its relatedness to logic. Connectionist
   models even show a closer relation between formal reasoning and
   brain activities.  For these reasons this summer school attempts to
   bring together researchers from various sides for an exchange of
   views.



REGISTRATION  
 
   If you want to attend the summer school, we'd prefer that you
   register by April 1, 2010.
   (See the online registration on the web page mentioned above.)
   For all who want to apply for a grant, this deadline is obligatory.
   After April 1, 2010, registration will be possible as long as there
   are vacant places.
   (Since we intend to restrict participation to about 60 people, in
   case of excessive demand, we will have to close the registration to
   the summer school.)
   People applying until April 1, 2010, and applying for a grant will
   be informed about respective decisions on grants at latest by end
   of April 2010.
   
   
FEES  

   We ask for a participation fee of 200 EUR. 


GRANTS

   A limited number of grants may be available, please indicate in
   your application if the only possibility for you to participate is
   via a grant. Applications for grants must include an estimate of
   travel costs (to be filled in the respective part of the online
   registration form).
   

INTEGRATED WORKSHOP

   It will be possible for some participants to present their research
   work during a small workshop integrated in the summer school. If
   you would like to do so, please register by means of the online
   workshop registration form on the web page mentioned above: (The
   title of your proposed talk, and, in addition, an extended abstract
   or a full paper of at most 10 pages in postscript or pdf format
   must be submit by April 1, 2010.)
   
   A program committee consisting of the summer school lecturers will
   select among the submissions.
   
   Notification of acceptance of a talk at the integrated workshop
   will be at latest by end of April 2010.

   Please note that participation at the summer school is a
   prerequisite for participation at the workshop.
