[CogSci] Announcing MathPsych/ICCM 2020 | Call for symposia

[MathPsych/ICCM 2020 Conference]

  Announcing MathPsych/ICCM 2020

VENUE:  Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel; Toronto, Canada
DATES:  July 25-28, 2020

We invite you to MathPsych/ICCM 2020, the joint gathering of the 53rd 
Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical Psychology and the 18th 
International Conference on Cognitive Modeling (ICCM): the premier 
conference for research on computational models and computation-based 
theories of human cognition.  Following our success in previous years, 
ICCM has again joined forces with the Society for Mathematical 
Psychology to create a conference in which all sessions are open to all 
attendees, and cross-talk is highly encouraged.

MathPsych/ICCM 2020 is a forum for presenting and discussing the 
complete spectrum of cognitive modeling approaches, including 
connectionism, symbolic modeling, dynamical systems, Bayesian modeling, 
and cognitive architectures. Research topics can range from low-level 
perception to high-level reasoning. We also welcome contributions that 
use computational models to better understand neuroscientific data.

The conference will run from *July 25, 2020* (approx. 9am) to *July 28, 
2020* (approx. 6pm).

More information, including submission deadlines, will be made available 
on the conference website <http://mathpsych.org/conferences/2020/> at a 
later time.

Please note that the Society for Mathematical Psychology will arrange 
for a block of rooms at the Sheraton hotel at a discounted rate.  
Attendees are _strongly_ urged to make use of the room block since the 
Society has made a financial commitment to the hotel.  More information 
about the room block will be made available at a later time.

Visa requirements for Canada can be found here 
<https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=416>. *Please 
be sure to check well ahead of time whether you need to obtain a visa to 
travel to Toronto, since that process may take some time (sometimes 
months) and effort.*

We are pleased to announce these world-class invited speakers and events:

  * Dora Matzke (University of Amsterdam; Estes Early Career Award winner)
  * Joseph Austerweil (University of Wisconsin-Madison; Estes Early
    Career Award winner)
  * Jean-Claude Falmagne (University of California-Irvine; Senior Fellow
    Award winner)

  * The 27th Annual ACT-R Workshop

Additional speakers and events will be announced at a later time.


    Call for symposia

Symposia are blocks of four to eight regular-length presentations on a 
relatively narrow topic.  "Regular length" means that there are 20 
minutes total per presentation (this includes time for questions and 
answers).  To propose a symposium, send an email to 
conferencecommittee at mathpsych.org 
<mailto:conferencecommittee at mathpsych.org> with subject line 
"Symposium:" followed by a short title.  In the body of the email, 
please provide a symposium title; a 200-250 word abstract; and a 
proposed list of speakers.  Please also indicate which speakers (if any) 
have already agreed to contribute.

The deadline for symposium proposals is *February 15, 2020*. The 
conference committee will review proposals within two weeks. The 
strongest proposals involve a topic that is of interest to many 
conference attendees, while also attracting new people who don't 
normally attend the conference.  Ideally, many of the proposed speakers 
have already agreed to contribute.


    Code of Conduct

Please note that everyone attending the meeting will be expected to 
adhere to the Society's Code of Conduct 
<http://mathpsych.org/Code_of_Conduct.pdf>. Attendees or applicants who 
have a priori concerns about the accessibility, inclusiveness, or 
welcoming nature of the conference should feel free to contact the 
Conference Chair directly at conference at mathpsych.org 
<mailto:conference at mathpsych.org>.

We hope to see you in Toronto!
