[Caml-list] CIFMA 2019 - Call for Papers

[Apologies for cross-posting]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Call for Papers    ============   CIFMA 2019  ============    ===================================================================================  1st International Workshop on  Cognition: Interdisciplinary Foundations, Models and Applications  ===================================================================================    https://cifma.github.io    Oslo, Norway, 17 September 2019    Co-located with SEFM 2019    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Submission link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cifma2019  Submission deadline: Thursday 13 June 2019  Notification: Friday 4 July 2019  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------    Cognition encompasses many aspects of intellectual functions and processes such as  attention, knowledge, memory, judgment, reasoning, problem solving, decision making,  comprehension and production of language. Although it originated from the field of  psychology, it goes beyond the individual human mind and behaviour, and involves  and affects the interaction with the environment in which humans act.  The increasing complexity of the environment with which humans interact is no longer  restricted to their natural living environment and the other humans populating it,  but includes a large technological support consisting of physical and computational  systems, virtual worlds and robots. This fact has expanded the scope of studying  cognition to a large number of disciplines well beyond psychology.  Cognitive processes are analysed from different perspectives within different  contexts, notably in the fields of linguistics, anesthesia, neuroscience, psychiatry,  psychology, education, philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, biology, systemics,  logic, and computer science. These and other different approaches to the analysis  of cognition are synthesised in the developing field of cognitive science, a  progressively autonomous academic discipline.    The objectives of this new international workshop are:    1. to bring together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and     research institutions who are interested in the foundations and applications of     cognition from the perspective of their areas of expertise and aim at a     synergistic effort in integrating approaches from different areas;  2. to nurture cooperation among researchers from different areas and establish     concrete collaborations;  3. to present formal methods to cognitive scientists as a general modelling and     analysis approach, whose effectiveness goes well beyond its application to     computer science and software engineering.      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  SUBMISSION GUIDELINES  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------    Authors are invited to submit, via Easychair, research contributions or experience  reports. The submission link is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cifma2019    All papers should be written in English and prepared using the specific LNCS  templates available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.    There are six categories of submissions    RESEARCH PAPERS to present original research and the analysis, interpretation and  validation of the research findings.    POSITION PAPERS to present innovative, arguable ideas, opinions or frameworks  which are likely to foster discussion at the workshop.    INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECT PAPERS to describe a new interdisciplinary research  project, or the status of an ongoing project or the outcomes of a recently  completed project.    CASES STUDY PAPERS to report on case studies, preferably in a real-world setting.    TOOL PAPERS to present a new tool, a new tool component or novel extensions to an  existing tool.    TOOL DEMONSTRATION PAPERS to demonstrate the tool workflow(s) and human interaction  aspects, and evaluate the overall role of the tool and impact to cognitive science.    Contributions will be in the form of    * FULL PAPERS between 12 and 15 pages for submission (and between 12 and 16 pages    for post-proceedings camera-ready).  * SHORT PAPERS between 6 and 8 pages for submission (and between 6 and 9 pages    for post-proceedings camera-ready).  * PRESENTATIONS extended abstract up to 4 pages, which will be included in the    pre-proceeding but not published in the post-proceedings.    "Short papers" and "Presentations" can discuss new ideas which are at an early  stage of development and which have not yet been thoroughly evaluated.    The program committee may reject papers that are outside these lengths on the  grounds of length alone.    Submitted papers will be refereed for quality, correctness, originality and  relevance. Notification and reviews will be communicated via email. Accepted papers  (both "Full papers" and "Short papers") will be included in the workshop programme and  will appear in the workshop pre-proceedings as well as in the LNCS post-proceedings.  Pre-proceedings will be available online before the Workshop.      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  LIST OF TOPICS  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------    Contributions to the workshop cover the areas of education, research and tecHnology,  either in general or with a focus on formal methods.
