This particular domain belongs to the larger field of Information Science, which considers semantic and qualitative aspects of information, rather than digital and qualitative ones. This represents an important issue for industries concerned with human beings in a work place context because Cognitive Science provides a great number of additional dimensions allowing to conceive more complete systems. It is the purpose of the European Conference on Cognitive Science to assemble theoreticians and practitioners from industry and academic institutions to discuss questions related to the practical application of Cognitive Science in industrial settings. The conference will be a forum for those who recognize the need to develop theories, methods, and systems to ensure the transfer of laboratory results into real-life problem situations. Furthermore, the European Conference on Cognitive Science will facilitate the exchange of expertise among practitioners. The organizing committee plans to hold the conference in collaboration with the following institutions: GDR-CNRS 957 Sciences Cognitives de Paris, France Ecole Nationale Superieure de Telecommunication de Bretagne, France Universite Paris Sorbonne, France Centre de Recherche Public - CU, Luxembourg Centre Universitaire, Luxembourg DFKI, Germany Universitat Kaiserslautern, Germany Universitat Freiburg, Germany CALL FOR PAPERS Two types of papers are solicited: those discussing on cognitive theories in the context of industrial practice and those presenting industrial applications. Suitable conferences and panel discussion themes include: o Cognitive robotics o Man-Machine cooperation o Cognitive organization and cooperation o Intelligent assistance for decision o Knowledge engineering, acquisition and modeling o Distributed cognition and multi agents system o Perception, recognition, interpretation and action o Planning o Intelligent management of multimedia documents o Piloting of important projects Applications, ongoing developments and relevant experimentations in the areas of: o Transports o Bank o Assurances o Health o Telecommunications o Environment protection o Production o Supervision and control SUBMISSION DETAILS Two classes of submission are solicited - long papers, which should not exceed 30 pages, and short papers, which should be up to 10 pages. Reports of industrial applications should ideally be presented as short papers. The program committee is seeking for original papers in all areas concerning the use of cognitive science for industrial problem solving. Papers could either describe industrial cases, significant results from ongoing research or user experience, or offer a critical analysis of current theories, tools or techniques in this domain. IMPORTANT DATES Papers should be submitted by the 7th March 1994. Notification of acceptance will be by the 30th May 1994. The final version of accepted papers must be received by the 4th July.
