GENERAL INFORMATION
From Thursday 16 to Saturday 18 December 2004 (three days) the
International Conference
"MODEL-BASED REASONING IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING:
ABDUCTION, VISUALIZATION, AND SIMULATION"
will be held at the University of Pavia (near Milan, Italy).
The conference continues the theme of the
Conferences "Model-Based Reasoning in Scientific Discovery" MBR'98 and
"Model-Based Reasoning: Scientific Discovery, Technological Innovation,
and Values" MBR'01
The previous volumes derived from those conferences are:

PROGRAM
The conference will deal with the logical, epistemological, and
cognitive aspects
of modeling practices employed in science and engineering, 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 engineering from the following list:
- 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
- model-based reasoning and technological innovation

HOW TO REACH PAVIA
LINATE Airport: www.sea-aeroportimilano.it/linate People arriving by
plane at LINATE should take the bus to the
CENTRAL STATION of Milan (cf. below from this Station to Pavia). In
LINATE it could be convenient to take a
Taxi because the airport is close to the center of Milan. Moreover,the
bus company SGEA ( www.sgea.it ) offers six
runs from LINATE to Pavia at 9.00, 10.00, 12.00 AM and 2.00, 5.00, 8.30
PM. The last stop is Pavia, near the
station (see again our updated web page for possible alterations of this
time-table) (from Pavia to LINATE six runs at
5.00, 7.30, 10.00 AM, 1.00, 4.00, 6.00 PM) (one hour trip; _13,00 return
ticket, _8,00 one way ticket). In Pavia there
is only one station. The easiest way to reach the center of the town is
to get off at the station and than take the bus n.
3.
MALPENSA 2000 (Terminal 1) and OLD MALPENSA (Terminal 2) Airport:
www.sea-aeroportimilano.it/malpensa
(usually people arrive to Malpensa 2000 and not to OLD MALPENSA): People
arriving by plane at MALPENSA 2000
(also called MALPENSA 2000 Terminal 1) or at "old" MALPENSA (now called
MALPENSA NORTH but also called
Malpensa 2000 Terminal 2) should take the bus to the CENTRAL STATION
of Milan. There is also a bus AND A
shuttle TRAIN (Malpensa Express) from Malpensa 2000 to the NORTH STATION
(Piazzale Cadorna) of Milan, in
this case from NORTH Station you will have to take the underground MM2
(green line) to the Central Raylway
Station: trains to Pavia leave from Central station. Moreover, the bus
company SGEA offers various runs from
MALPENSA 2000 to Pavia at 9.00, 11:00 AM, 1:30 3:00, 5:00, 7:00, 9:30,
PM (from Pavia to MALPENSA 2000
and to OLD MALPENSA various runs at 7.00, 9:00, 11:00 AM, 1:00, 3:15,
5:00, 7:00 PM) (one hour and half trip;
_18,00 retourn ticket, _12,00 one way ticket).
The last stop is Pavia, near the rail station.
In Pavia there is only one rail station.
The easiest way to reach the center of the town is to get off at the
station and than take the bus n. 3.
There are trains from MILAN (Central Raylway Station) to PAVIA and vice
versa about every an hour
www.trenitalia.it (routes: MILAN-GENOVA; MILAN-VENTIMIGLIA; MILAN-LA
SPEZIA; MILAN-SAVONA;
MILAN-SESTRI LEVANTE; MILAN-IMPERIA; MILAN-ALBENGA; Pavia is the first
stop only if the train is not
slow, that is, if it is not, in ITALIAN, "L", locale).

time-table)
