Subject: EuroSoar Workshop-7 Date: Mon, 9 Aug 93 15:19:29 BST From: "Frank E. Ritter" WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS/PARTICIPATION EuroSoar Workshop-7 19th-21st November 1993 Department of Psychology, University of Nottingham Nottingham, England The Seventh European Workshop on Soar will be held in Nottingham, England on the weekend of 19th-21st November 1993. The Workshop will be of interest to researchers in Europe actively working with Soar or interested in doing so. Soar is a unified theory of cognition realized as a problem-space architecture in an AI production system language. Events will include invited and submitted talks reporting recent Soar research in Europe and North America, and demonstrations of Soar work. People travelling from outside Nottingham will probably want to stay in Nottingham on the Friday night as well as the Saturday night, as the workshop will start with dinner at 7pm on Friday night, and finish at 3pm on Sunday. Attendance will be limited to 50 participants. Preference will be given to active Soar researchers and those who submit their forms promptly. An introductory tutorial will be held on the afternoon of Friday 19th November, intended to enable newcomers to Soar to benefit from and contribute to the main part of the workshop. The tutorial will include sessions on the basic concepts of Soar, current research issues, a demonstration of Soar in use, and a survey of current Soar activity worldwide. Given a suffient level of ability on the part of the participants, it may attempt to teach very basic Soar programming.
