</b><b>***** Also, please note the call for Tutorials and Symposia
at the end of this mail. ***** </b><b><br>
</b><b> ***** GK Best Paper award, GK Best Poster awards, and
Student Travel awards announced. ***** </b><br>
<br>
<b>Call for Presentations and Posters</b><br>
We call for extended abstracts for oral presentations and for
posters. Submissions should be written in English, and be
formatted according to the formatting guidelines below.
Contributions must be submitted by May 1st 2018 via the EasyChair

<br>
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the review
committee. Acceptance will be based on novelty of research,
significance of results, and quality of presentation. Accepted
abstracts will be published in the online conference proceedings.
All accepted contributions must be presented at the conference. So
at least one author must register by the early registration
deadline or the contribution will not be included in the program.<br>
The best submissions to KogWis 2018 will be selected for oral
presentation at the conference.<br>
<br>
<b>Call for Symposia</b><br>
Submission is now open for proposals for symposia to be presented
at KOGWIS2018. The deadline for submitting a symposium proposals
is May 11th, 2018. A symposium should involve several presenters,
typically 4-5, organized around a topic of interest. Symposia may
be on any topic in cognitive science. The KOGWIS program committee
will strive for quality, variety, innovation, and diversity of the
program; special emphasis will be put on this year's topic:
computational approaches to cognitive science.<br>
Please submit proposals for a symposium directly as a single
abstract for the symposium topic. On the second page of the
abstract, please list the speakers who will be participating in
the symposium and the title of their contributions.<br>
Send the the two page abstract via e-mail with the subject
"Symposium proposal" directly to:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"

<br>
<b>Call for Tutorials</b><br>
We invite proposals for tutorials to be held at KOGWIS2018. The
KOGWIS program committee is interested in tutorials that
disseminate information to conference attendees on recently
emerging topics and trends as well as foundation topics, provide
surveys of complementary techniques to those commonly studied in
cognitive science, and inform attendees on the state-of-the-art
within the field. We encourage submissions of proposals on topics
in the general areas of cognitive science but particularly
encourage tutorials on computational approaches to cognitive
science.<br>
Please submit proposals for a tutorial directly as one abstract
for the tutorial topic according to the same guidelines as regular
abstracts via e-mail with the subject "Tutorial proposal" directly
to:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"

<b>GK Best Paper Award (2016-2018)</b><br>
The GK Best Paper Award is awarded for the best publication in
cognitive science by a young investigator whose PhD has been

Applications are accepted for peer reviewed papers, which have
been accepted for publication or have been published since May
2016.<br>
Applications should be submitted by June 1st 2018 via e-mail to
the head of the GK (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:vs1@gk-ev.de">vs1@gk-ev.de</a>) and include a
single PDF document with:<br>
- the published paper,<br>
- the publication data or the notification of acceptance of the
journal or conference,<br>
- a CV including publication record.<br>
The prize will be awarded at KogWis 2018 and the awardee will be
given the opportunity to present their work in a dedicated program
slot.<br>
<br>
<b>GK Best Poster & Presentation Award</b><br>

href="mailto:kogwis2018@cogsci.tu-darmstadt.de">kogwis2018@cogsci.tu-darmstadt.de</a>
with the subject "KogWis Student Travel Grant Application". <br>
<br>
KogWis 2018 will be held in Darmstadt, Germany, and invites
submissions of extended abstracts on current work in cognitive
science. Generally all topics related to cognitive science are
welcome. Contributions that address the focus of this meeting,
that is, computational cognitive science are particularly
encouraged. Computational approaches to cognitive science
emphasize formalizing adaptive and intelligent behavior and have
strong ties to machine learning and artificial intelligence.<br>
