<h1 id="announcing-virtual-mathpsychiccm-2021-and-call-for-symposia">Announcing
virtual MathPsych/ICCM 2021 and Call for Symposia</h1>
<p>We invite you to virtual MathPsych/ICCM 2021, the joint gathering
of the 54th Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical
Psychology and the 19th International Conference on Cognitive
Modelling (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.</p>
<p>Virtual MathPsych/ICCM 2021 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.</p>
<h3 id="format-and-venue">Format and venue</h3>
<p>Following the model of the successful 2020 virtual meeting, the
conference will be fully online, with no in-person component, and
all submitted presentations to be provided as recordings.</p>
<p>The conference will once again take place on the Society for
Mathematical Psychology’s online venue, <a
href="https://mathpsych.org" moz-do-not-send="true">mathpsych.org</a>.
Access will be provided upon registration.</p>

<p>The interactive component of the virtual conference will run from
July 1, 2021 to July 12, 2021 and will involve live Q&A
sessions, live plenary talks, social events, and more.
Pre-recorded talks and posters and a discussion forum will be
available throughout the conference period.</p>
<h2 id="call-for-symposia">Call for symposia</h2>
<p>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 <a
href="mailto:conferencecommittee@mathpsych.org">conferencecommittee@mathpsych.org</a>
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.</p>
<p>The deadline for symposium proposals is <b>April 1, 2021</b>.
The conference committee will review proposals within one week.
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.</p>
<h2 id="submission-categories">Submission categories</h2>
<p>There are four submission categories. In all cases, submitters
should send in an abstract for review. Once the abstract is
accepted, submitters will be invited to submit a recorded
presentation. These recorded presentations will be made available
for viewing some time before the interactive component of the
conference starts.</p>
