SAE Digital Human Modeling for Design and Engineering Conference and Exhibition (DHMC)

When: June 12 – 14, 2007
Where: Seattle, WA, USA

The SAE Digital Human Modeling for Design and Engineering Conference and Exhibition (DHMC) being held June 12 – 14, 2007 in Seattle, WA.

As the use of digital human models becomes more prevalent across industries, technology must change to meet these needs. This event provides an environment for critical discussion of new and significant technical information, the development and application of digital human models, and the sharing of information among scientists, industry users and developers. The conference attracts professionals from around the world and has the industry experts participating as authors and organizers. For more information please visit www.sae.org/dhm.

CogSci 2007 is the annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Society for basic and applied cognitive science research. We encourage researchers from across the world to submit their best work and to attend CogSci07 to hear the latest theories and data from the world's best cognitive science researchers. Each year, in addition to submitted papers, we invite researchers to highlight some aspect of cognitive science. This year, we highlight CogSci in the Real World.

The conference will be held in Nashville, Tennessee at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, August 1-4. Tutorials and workshops will be held August 1st. Vanderbilt University is hosting an opening reception on Wednesday evening (August 1st) at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel: All conference attendees are invited!

ICCM is the premier international conference for research on computational models and computation-based theories of human behavior. ICCM is a forum for presenting, discussing, and evaluating the complete spectrum of cognitive models, including connectionism, symbolic modeling, dynamical systems, Bayesian modeling, and cognitive architectures. ICCM includes basic and applied research, across a wide variety of domains, ranging from low-level perception and attention to higher-level problem-solving and learning.

ICCM 2007 will include the following activities:
A doctoral consortium
A tutorial program
Invited speakers
Neil Burgess , University College London
Marcel Just , Carnegie Mellon University
Walter Schneider , University of Pittsburgh
Technical papers

The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting is the primary gathering of researchers and practitioners in the field of human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) and related areas. The 51st Annual Meeting will be a special celebration of our historical foundations and views of the future of our profession. As such, we encourage creative proposals for program materials of all kinds. The meeting will take place at the Baltimore Waterfront Marriott Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland.

New and alternative formats for presenting HF/E efforts are strongly encouraged. Participants are invited to submit proposals including case studies, debates, demonstrations, competitive product designs, new methodologies, on-site experiments, and posters involving both fixed and dynamic information presentation. The Technical Program Committee encourages participants to suggest new ideas in advance, so that we can be as adaptive and flexible as possible in responding to creative proposals.

HFES particularly welcomes submissions from professionals in related fields. View the descriptions of HFES Technical Groups to determine if there is a match between your work and the interest areas of HF/E researchers and practitioners. The Society may waive the one-day nonmember registration fee for allied professionals who attend the meeting just to present their work.
