FURTHER INFORMATION

Abstracts and papers

Abstracts will be judged on multidisciplinary character,
since the participants of the workshop come from a variety
of disciplines. Experimental and theoretical presentations
must be relevant to general problems of cognition and
understanding, not only of interest to a few insiders (see
also the list of disciplines above).

Full papers are welcome, especially if publication in the
journal of the ESSCS, 'Cognitive Systems', is considered.

================================================
DEADLINES

Deadline for sending abstracts:

March 1, 2002

If there is room in the programme, last-minute participation
with a paper is possible, provided the paper satisfies the
aims of the workshop. Participation without a paper is possible
until the maximal number of participants (35). This may imply
accomodation in a nearby hotel.

The maximum number of presentations will be 24. It is good if
we receive abstracts as soon as possible, to put them on the
webpage, with the programme. Length: 10-20 lines (of about 70
characters) of text, i.e. half a page A4, or some 1.5 kilobytes,
preferable in ASCII, or text file.
Presentation time: 30 minutes, including discussion (we do not
have to be very strict on presentation times, but this is the
basic time available).

================================================
Transparencies and beamer

The standard for showing text and pictures will be transparancies.
We shall try to provide a beamer.
