Call for Proposals

Each year, thinkers and creators gather to investigate the ways that
information technology is transforming our world.  Philosophers, engineers,
historians, computer scientists, cognitive scientists, and IT professionals
across the spectrum meet for three days of discussion and exploration.

We are looking for thought-provoking presentations in information ethics,
cognitive science, AI, robotics, social and cultural issues, simulations
and modeling, distance learning, computational logic and linguistics,
electronic and teaching resources.

Please submit electronically an extended abstract of approximately 1000
words, targeted to one of the topic areas below.  The file should also
contain a 300 word abstract to be used in the conference web site and
booklet.

Submission deadline:  February 28, 2005

Please send a copy to the committee member for the appropriate topic area
and to Patrick Grim as program director at pgrim at notes.cc.sunysb.edu.
