GENERAL INFORMATION

  From Monday 3 to Wednesday 5 July 2006 (three days) the
International Conference "MODEL-BASED REASONING IN SCIENCE AND
MEDICINE" will be held at Sun Yat-Sen University in the city of Guangzhou.

The conference derives from a research cooperation between the
Department of Philosophy of Sun Yat-Sen University and the Department
of Philosophy of the University of Pavia and continues the themes
both of the Conferences "Model-Based Reasoning in Scientific
Discovery" MBR'98, "Model-Based Reasoning: Scientific Discovery,
Technological Innovation, and Values" MBR'01, and "Model-Based
Reasoning in Science and Engineering: Abduction, Visualization, and
Simulation" MBR'04, and of "the First International Conference of
Philosophy and Cognitive Science: Science, Cognition, and Consciousness", 2004.

PROGRAM

The conference will deal with the logical, epistemological, and
cognitive aspects of modeling practices employed in science and
medicine, including computational models of such practices. We
solicit papers that examine the role of abduction, visualization, and
simulation in model-based reasoning from philosophical, historical,
sociological, psychological, or computational perspectives.

RELEVANT RESEARCH AREAS

We call for papers that cover topics pertaining to
model-based reasoning in science and medicine from the following list:

- model-based reasoning in scientific discovery and conceptual changes
- the role of models in scientific thinking
- model-based reasoning in scientific explanation
- model-based medical diagnosis
- model-based reasoning and traditional Chinese medicine
- abduction
- visual, spatial, imagistic modeling and reasoning
- simulative modeling
- the role of diagrammatic representations
- computational models of visual and simulative reasoning
- causal and counterfactual reasoning in model construction
- visual analogy
- thought experimenting
- logical analyses related to model-based reasoning
- manipulative reasoning
- distributed model-based reasoning
- embodiment in model-based reasoning

SUBMISSIONS OF PAPERS AND SYMPOSIA PROPOSALS

All submitted papers will be carefully refereed. The precise format
of the conference will be fixed after we have an idea of the number
of accepted papers. We expect approximately 40 contributed
presentations some of 40 and others of 20 minutes. There will be
several invited papers of 1 hour. A selected subset will be invited
for inclusion (subject to additional refereeing) in a book which will
constitute an advanced handbook for researchers in this area. The
book will be published by an international publishing house. Moreover
another selected subset will be invited for inclusion (subject to
additional refereeing) in special issues of suitable international journals.

Authors must submit an electronic version - formatted in Microsoft
Word or RTF, or PDF (in this last case please include source - DOC,
TEX, etc., file) - of an extended abstract (total word count
aproximately 1000-1200). The file must also contain a 300 WORD
abstract that will be used for the conference web site/booklet.
