Many postgraduate students become academically isolated as a result of
working in specialised domains within fairly small departments. This
workshop is aimed at providing a forum for graduate students in AI,
Cognitive Science and any aspect of the Simulation of Behaviour to
present and discuss their ideas with other students in related areas.
In addition there will invited presentations from a number of
prominent researchers in AI and in Cognitive Science.
A series of presentations and group discussions are planned, including
study for and completion of theses, life after a doctorate, paper
writing, conference attendance and how to make use of your
supervisor. These are provisional subject to requests from prospective
attendees.
All attendees should expect to present an introduction to their
research during the workshop.
Attendance is by invitation.
Tutors will include:
Prof Yorick Wilks (University of Sheffield)
Dr Ann Blandford (MRC - Cambridge)
Dr Roger Boyle (University of Leeds)
