There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
The Third Annual Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems will take place May 28-31, 2015, at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The main conference will be held on May 29-31 and related workshops including the student workshop and a workshop on Goal Reasoning will be held on May 28. An independent workshop on Computational Models of Narrative will be co-located with the Advances in Cognitive Systems conference.
The goal of the Conference is to bring together researchers with interest in building cognitive systems that are distinguished by a focus on high-level cognition and decision making, reliance on rich, structured representations, a systems-level perspective, use of heuristics to handle complexity, and incorporation of insights about human thinking. The meeting provides a venue for dissemination of research results pertaining to the original, yet unanswered, questions of Artificial Intelligence: to produce computational artifacts that reproduce a broad range of human cognitive abilities.
