     The 1996 Midwest Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science
Conference will be held in Bloomington, Indiana -- known for its
music, its basketball, its woods and lakes, and its cognitive science
and logic programs.  This year we seek to expand the range of
participating institutions and research areas.  We think a strong and
inclusive regional conference on cognitive science is both possible
and desirable.  The conference will feature invited talks by Jon
Barwise (Indiana) and Gary Dell (Illinois), technical papers,
symposia, a Best Student Paper prize, and several social events.
Symposia proposed thus far include Symbol Grounding and Case-Based
Reasoning.
     We invite papers in all areas of artificial intelligence and cognitive
science, including psychology, linguistics, logic, and philosophy of mind,
as long as they are appropriate for a general cognitive science audience.
Graduate students in particular are encouraged to submit.  We also welcome
proposals for symposia on particular topics.
     Up-to-date Conference information will be provided on the MAICS96
World-Wide Web page at:
	http://www.cs.indiana.edu/event/maics96/.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
     Authors should submit full papers on any topic in artificial
intelligence or cognitive science, broadly conceived.  These will be
evaluated for originality and significance of the research, for
clarity of presentation, and for relevance to a broad audience of
cognitive science researchers.  All accepted papers will be presented
orally and will be made available in the On-Line Proceedings.  Papers
whose first author is a student are eligible for the Best Student
Paper Prize if the authors of the paper assert that primary
responsibility for the work lies with the student.
     Papers may be submitted either electronically or in hard copy
form.  Electronic submissions may take the form of plain text or LaTeX
files or a URL to an HTML file which is accessible on the World-Wide
Web.  Authors should be careful to include all macro files necessary
for LaTeX files as we will not be responsible for files which cannot
be formatted.  Figures for LaTeX and plain text files should be
Postscript files.  Figures for HTML documents should be inline images
(GIF, JPEG, XBM, or Postscript).  Hard-copy submissions should have
1-inch margins on all sides and should be in 12-point type.
     Papers should be a maximum of six pages long, including figures
and references.  (The relevant length for an HTML document is the
number of pages required to print it out in 12-point type.)  Names,
addresses, and e-mail addresses of authors and an abstract should be
included at the beginning of each paper.
     The Proceedings for the Conference will appear on-line on the
World-Wide Web.  Final papers should be in either HTML or Postscript
format; the former is highly recommended because it permits searches.
Details of final format will be forthcoming on the Conference Web
page.
     Hard copy submissions must be postmarked by Thursday, February 15,
1996, and sent to 
  Michael Gasser
  Indiana University
  Computer Science Department
  Lindley Hall 215
  Bloomington, IN 47405
Electronic submissions should by e-mailed by Thursday, February 15,
1996, to
  gasser@cs.indiana.edu
Papers not meeting the deadline will not be considered.
     Proposals for symposia should also be sent to either of the above
addresses by February 15.
