<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">This conference brings together researchers who aim to
<i>explain cognition and learning in computational terms and to reproduce a broad range of intelligent behaviors and human abilities in computational artifacts</i>. We encourage many types of research, including demonstrations of new capabilities, empirical
studies of implemented systems, and formal analyses of challenging tasks. Experimental comparisons with existing systems on established problems are welcome, but neither expected or required. However, papers should attempt to answer scientific questions by
making explicit claims and providing evidence for or against them.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Each submission will receive two to three reviews, with well-written papers being selected for either oral or poster presentation. Authors giving oral presentations may also be invited to publish an expanded version of their paper in the Advances in Cognitive
Systems journal (</span><span style="color:black"><a href="http://cogsys.org/journal/"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC">http://cogsys.org/journal/</span></a></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">).</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
