Workshop

Systematicity and the post-connectionist era:
 Taking stock of the architecture of cognition

19-21 May 2011
San José (Andalucía, Spain)

Call for papers

Researchers are invited to submit full papers or long abstracts for 40-minute presentations on conceptual, empirical or modeling issues that arise in the treatment of the systematicity challenge from post-connectionist approaches such as behavior-based AI, ecological psychology, embodied and distributed cognition, dynamical systems theory, and non-classical forms of connectionism. The range of topics to be addressed in the workshop really cuts across cognitive science disciplines. We encourage submissions from philosophers, psychologists, and computational neuroscientists alike, among other related fields. Our aim is to keep the workshop relatively small (space limited to 40 participants) and informal with enough time for extended discussions. We hope that this relaxed atmosphere will provide the opportunity for informal interaction and discussion.

Full papers or long abstracts (1,000 words plus references) should be sent in .doc or .pdf format to: Paco Calvo by January 28, 2011.
