Today's Topics:
  Conference - Cognitive Science Society

Date: 12 Aug 1985 1811-PDT
From: GRANGER%UCI-20A@UCI-ICSA
Subject: 7th Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society,
         15-17 Aug.

  Though it's the last minute, I'm sending a copy of the program for
the upcoming seventh annual conference of the Cognitive Science Society.
The conference runs 15-17 August (immediately before ijcai), and
contains much that may be of interest to the Artificial Intelligentsia.
Anyone who is interested in coming down for this conference, can show
up and register at the door; dorm rooms are available on the campus,
and hotel rooms are available at the Sheraton Hotel in Newport Beach.
The conference is being held on the campus of the University of
California, Irvine, which is about 40 miles south of Los Angeles,
adjoining Newport Beach.  There are currently about 400 preregistered
participants.
