The Soar community is widely distributed geographically. We will try to give as many members of the community as possible the opportunity to describe their research or to discuss whatever Soar issues are of concern to them. Since workshop attendees are already well-entrenched in the Soar world, however, brief talks that concentrate on only the essentials work very well. The Soar Workshop is announced on the soar-group mailing list, but we do want to ensure that everyone actively working with Soar does get invited, so if you know of anyone who really should have been invited, but did not receive an invitation, please let us know. The rates are valid from February 15 through April 21.
Hotel rooms are at a premium.
We recommend making reservations as soon as possible due to other conferences in the area. Let them know you are calling for the SOAR Workshop group rate. 13480 Maxella Ave. On Thursday and Friday, there will be a 2-day Introduction to Soar for Soar Novices. On Friday we will also offer a 1-day tutorial for those already familiar with Soar, that will cover Soar 8 in the morning, and how create application environments in the afternoon.
