 | TWELFTH ANNUAL ACT-R SUMMER SCHOOL
Carnegie Mellon University
June 13-18 2005
ACT-R is a cognitive theory and simulation system for developing
cognitive models for tasks that vary from simple reaction time to air
traffic control. The most recent advances of the ACT-R theory were
detailed in the book "The Atomic Components of Thought" by John R.
Anderson and Christian Lebiere, published in 1998 by Lawrence Erlbaum
Associates, and in a paper available online
(http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/papers/403/IntegratedTheory.pdf).
Each year, a summer school is held to train researchers in the use of
the ACT-R system. The summer school is followed by a workshop, but this
year there will be a 1 month separation between the two events. Summer
school will be June 13-18 in Pittsburgh and the workshop will be July
15-17 in Trieste, Italy.
The Twelfth Annual ACT-R Summer School will be held at Carnegie Mellon
University in Pittsburgh from Monday June 13 to Saturday June 18,
2005. This intensive 6-day course is designed to train researchers in
the use of ACT-R for cognitive modeling. It is structured as a set of
six units, with each unit lasting a day and involving a morning theory
lecture, a web-based tutorial, an afternoon discussion session and a
homework assignment which participants are expected to complete during
the day and evening. Computing facilities will be provided.
To provide an optimal learning environment, admission is limited to a
dozen participants, who must submit by April 1 an application
consisting of a curriculum vitae and a statement of purpose.
Demonstrated experience with a modeling formalism similar to ACT-R will
strengthen the application. Applicants will be notified of admission by
April 15, with early notification upon request. Admission to the
summer school is free.
More information, including papers published by the ACT-R community,
can be found on the ACT-R web site (http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/).
A registration form is appended below. Additional information
(detailed schedule, etc.) will appear on the ACT-R Web site when
available or can be requested at:
