• EUCOGII Funding: The Second European Network for the Advancement of Artificial Cognitive Systems, Interaction and Robotics: EUCOGII , has kindly agreed to support this workshop by making available funding toward travel and expenses for a limited number of EUCognition members. To apply for funding please contact Ron Chrisley (ronc at sussex.ac.uk) with some reasons you would particularly beneift for this opportunity.
  
• PROCEEDINGS: Selected papers from the symposium will form the basis of special issue (June 2011) of the International Journal of Machine Consciousness.
• IMPORTANT: NEW deadline for abstracts of January 18th. The original deadline of 31 December 2010 was extended to 9 January 2011, and messages were posted to various mailing lists and on the MC 2011 website to that effect. Owing to an administrative error, the central AISB 2011 website indicated that the extension of the MC2011 abstract deadline was until 18 January. Because of the pressures of time between now and the actual workshop, we have to send abstracts to external members of our Programme Committee for evaluation, now, rather than wait until the 18th January. However, because of the exceptional circumstances we will consider abstracts up to 18 January; nevertheless, precedence will be given to those that were submitted by the 9th.
