The Sixteenth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society aimed at broad coverage of the many topics, methodologies, and disciplines that comprise Cognitive Science. The conference highlighted new ideas, theories, methods and results in a wide range of research areas relating to cognition. %TI Mobile Robotics Lab %AU Ron Arkin %AV http://www.cc.gatech.edu/ai/robot-lab/ %AB The Mobile Robot Laboratory's charter is to discover and develop fundamental scientific principles and practices that are applicable to intelligent mobile robot systems. In addition, it is the goal of this laboratory to facilitate technology transfer of its research results to yield solutions to real world problems for a wide range of application domains. %TI The EduTech Institute %AU Janet Kolodner, director %AV http://www.cc.gatech.edu/aimosaic/edutech/ %AB On January 1, 1993, the EduTech Institute was established on the campus of Georgia Tech. EduTech serves as a coordinator and facilitator of efforts to improve the educational process at Georgia Tech. Wherever possible, EduTech will focus on the transfer of those improvements into pre-college environments. %TI The IGOR Research Group %AU Ashwin Ram %AV http://www.cc.gatech.edu/faculty/ashwin/igor/ %AB We are investigating a broad range of issues in artificial intelligence, machine learning, case-based reasoning, natural language understanding, creativity, education, and cognitive science. The broad theme is the development of multistrategy reasoning and learning systems that are introspective, goal-directed, adaptive, and opportunistic. Research issues are investigated in an integrated manner across several different task domains, including story understanding, diagnostic problem solving, robot control, and education. %TI The Journal of the Learning Sciences %AU Janet Kolodner, editor-in-chief %AV http://www.cc.gatech.edu/aimosaic/faculty/kolodner/jls/ %AB The Journal of the Learning Sciences is a cognitive science journal that provides a multidisciplinary forum for the presentation and discussion of research on teaching and learning. Emphasis is placed on important ideas that can change our understanding of learning as well as the practice of education. Articles will evolve from disciplines such as artificial intelligence, cognitive science, cognitive and educational psychology, cognitive anthropology, education, and educational technology.
