Subject: Rocky Mountain AI Conference
Call for Papers
Fourth Annual Rocky Mountain Conference
on Artificial Intelligence
June 8 & 9, 1989
Clarion Hotel
Denver, Colorado
Augmenting Human Intellect by Computer
This conference is designed to explore the means by which Artificial
Intelligence can enhance human cognitive abilities. We are particularly
interested in work that addresses the way computer systems can support
their user's problem solving needs. Relevant topics for this conference
are:
- Intelligent support of human communication
- Computer supported cooperative work
- Automated reasoning and problem solving
- User interfaces and user interface management systems
- Tutoring, Training & Education
- Design, Manufacturing & Control
- Planning
- Human Problem Solving
Although purely theoretical papers will be considered, all papers should
indicate how the technology will be used to change the way people
think and communicate.
Papers due: December 9, 1988
Authors must submit three copies of their paper, not to exceed 4000
words. Each submission must include the keywords describing the research
and state whether it will be submitted to another conference.

O F C Y B E R N E T I C S A N D S Y S T E M S
JUNE 11-15, 1990 at Hunter College, City University of New York, USA
This triennial conference is supported by many international
groups concerned with management, the sciences, computers, and
technology systems.
The 1990 Congress is the eighth in a series, previous events
having been held in London (1969), Oxford (1972), Bucharest (1975),
Amsterdam (1978), Mexico City (1981), Paris (1984) and London (1987).
The Congress will provide a forum for the presentation
and discussion of current research. Several specialized sections
will focus on computer science, artificial intelligence, cognitive
science, biocybernetics, psychocybernetics and sociocybernetics.
Suggestions for other relevant topics are welcome.
Participants who wish to organize a symposium or a section,
are requested to submit a proposal ( sponsor, subject, potential
participants, very short abstracts ) as soon as possible, but not
later than September 1989. All submissions and correspondence
regarding this conference should be addressd to:

Subject: New Journal: Philosophical Psychology
PHILOSOPHICAL PSYCHOLOGY is a new journal promoting the interaction of
philosophers, psychologists, and other investigators of behavioral and
mental phenomena. The editorial board is especially keen to encourage
publication of articles which deal with the application of philosophical
psychology to the cognitive and brain sciences, and to areas of applied
psychology. Thus, we are committed to publishing high-quality
papers on such topics as the philosophical foundations of cognitive
science, the potential of connectionism as an alternative to symbolic
models, the scientific status of psychological explanations, the inter-
disciplinary endeavors of psycholinguistics, and the implications of
developments in clinical psychology for theories of the mind.
A special feature of the journal is periodic publication of symposia on
important recently published books. The current issue (volume 1, number
2) contains two discussions of Alfred Mele's recent book IRRATIONALITY:
AN ESSAY ON AKRASIA, SELF-DECEPTION, AND SELF CONTROL (Oxford, 1987).
A forthcoming issue (volume 2, number 1, will contain three discussions of
William Lycan's LOGICAL FORM IN NATURAL LANGUAGE (MIT, 1986).
PHILOSOPHICAL PSYCHOLOGY will appear three times a year. 1988 was the
first year of publication and we have sent the final issue for volume 1
to the publisher. We are now reviewing manuscripts for volume 2. If you
have a paper that you think is appropriate, I urge you to consider
submitting to PHILOSOPHICAL PSYCHOLOGY. All submissions that are deemed
appropriate for the journal will be subjected to refereeing, generally
by both a philosopher and a psychologist. Thus, we hope to be able to offer
substantive evaluations and suggestions on all papers submitted to us.
Submissions may be sent to either editor:
1. Dr. John Rust, Editor, Univ. of London Institute of Education, 25
Woburn Square, London, WC1H 0AA, ENGLAND
2. Dr. William Bechtel, Associate Editor, Department of Philosophy, Georgia
State University, Atlanta, GA 30303-3083 e-mail: PHLPWB@GSUVM1.BITNET
At this stage we are still developing our pool of reviewers. If you are
interested in refereeing papers for PHILOSOPHICAL PSYCHOLOGY, please
send a statement of interest to William Bechtel (PHLPWB@GSUVM1.bitnet).

CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY PHD PROGRAM IN ROBOTICS
Carnegie Mellon announces a new interdisciplinary PhD program in Robotics that
brings together the Robotics Institute, the Carnegie Institute of Technology
(engineering school), the Computer Science Department, and the Graduate School
of Industrial Administration (business school). Students in this program take
courses in Robotics and other related areas of study, and carry out research in
the unique laboratories of the Robotics Institute. Students with interest in
robotics and a strong academic background are encouraged to apply for admission
to this program.
TOPICS OF STUDY IN ROBOTICS
Students in the Robotics Program study the basic sciences and technologies of
robotics:
- PERCEPTION
- COGNITION
- MANIPULATION
Students in the Robotics Program also study and do research in large integrated
robot systems:
- MANUFACTURING AUTOMATION
- MOBILE ROBOTS
THE PhD PROGRAM
Students in this course of study are enrolled in the Ph.D. Program in Robotics
at Carnegie Mellon University. Each student designs an individualized course
of study from a selection of basic and applied topics in robotics. The program
is heavily research-oriented in all phases with hands-on experience from the
very beginning of graduate studies. Students have the opportunity to pursue
their own ideas, and to publish their results by writing scientific papers.
All applicants admitted to the PhD program will receive full financial support.
FOR INFORMATION
Students interested in the program should apply for admission to the Robotics
Program at Carnegie Mellon. For application information, write to:
Graduate Admissions Coordinator, Robotics Program
The Robotics Institute
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh PA 15213.
Application information should be available in the Winter of 1988-9; the
first admissions to the program will be in Fall 1989.
