We are pleased to announce CogSci2000, the twenty-second annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Society, and its inaugural meeting for the twenty-first century. The conference will take place August 13-15, 2000 at the Inn at Penn located near the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science, in the heart of the University of Pennsylvania campus. As is fitting for this turn-of-the-century meeting, we hope that the complement of contributions will draw the boundaries of cognitive science as broadly as possible.

PAPERS
Six-page submissions presenting new research findings will be reviewed and, if accepted, published as six-page papers in the Proceedings. Maximum word count depends on how many figures are included and other details, but without figures about 5000 words will fit into 6 pages of the proceedings. Accepted papers will be assigned to 20-minute spoken presentation or a poster session.

POSTERS
Full and student members of the society are invited to submit research abstracts. These one-page abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee, and if accepted, will be published in the proceedings and presented in poster sessions.

SYMPOSIA
These will consist of two-hour sessions each consisting of three or more presentations of well-integrated talks on a common topic. There may also be a discussant and there will be time reserved for audience discussion. A summary of the symposia will be published in the proceedings.

For symposium proposals, please submit 1-2 pages describing:

• the topic of the symposium;
• its current relevance and the audience it is most relevant to;
• a list of speakers who would be participating in the symposium and an indication of the particular issues they would be addressing;
• an indication of your role in the symposium and how you propose to conduct it and ensure that the presentations are well-integrated.

TUTORIALS
Proposals are solicited to present tutorials at CogSci2000. The tutorials will provide conference participants with the opportunity to gain new insights, knowledge, and skills from a broad range of areas in the field of cognitive science from an instructional setting. Tutorial topics can come from any area of cognitive science. Tutorials can be one day or one-half day, and computer labs will be available. Tutorials will be held on the days immediately preceding the conference. Please submit all tutorial proposals to Toby Mintz, Tutorial Chair, at tmintz@almaak.usc.edu

EDUCATION SESSION
During the main conference, there will be a session dedicated to Cognitive Science education. Please send your ideas for this session to Mark Steedman, Education Session Chair, at steedman@cogsci.ed.ac.uk

DEADLINE: All submissions must be received by February 15, 2000.

PAPER AND POSTER ABSTRACT SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
All submissions must be sent electronically for review. However, we require camera-ready copy of the accepted papers or abstracts for the proceedings.
