	    ================================

ACT-R is a cognitive theory and simulation system for developing
cognitive models for tasks that vary from simple reaction time to air
traffic control.  The foundations of the ACT-R theory were
detailed in the book "The Atomic Components of Thought" by John R.
Anderson and Christian Lebiere, published in 1998 by Lawrence Erlbaum
Associates.  Recent advances in the theory are detailed in several
publications accessible at the url: http://acr-r.psy.cmu.edu

Each year, a three-day workshop is held to enable new and current users
to exchange research results and ideas.  The 12th Annual ACT-R Workshop
will be in Trieste, Italy, on July 15-17, 2005 (just a few days before
CogSci2005 in Stresa).  During the workshop participants will illustrate
their ACT-R research in 20 minutes presentations.  Nick Chater (University
of Warwick, UK) will be the workshop invited speaker.

Admission to the workshop is open to all.  Participants are invited to
submit a one page abstract (in .doc or .pdf format) and, after the
definition of the workshop program, a contribution (of approx. 6 pages)
to be included in the proceedings.  Abstract and proceedings contributions
should be sent via e-mail to:
