Feeder Projects

From MindModelingWiki

Cognitive Models run at MindModeling@Home are authored from members of MindModeling.org. These researchers hail from acedemia (RPI), industry (ACS), and government institutions (AFRL PALM Lab) who all have the common goal of better understanding of human cognition.

MindModeling@Home models are first submitted to feeder projects:

 MM@ACS  - Adaptive Cognitive Systems
 MM@CMU  - Carnegie Mellon (in preparation)
 MM@IU   - Indiana University (in preparation)
 MM@Palm - Performance and Learning Models
 MM@RPI  - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Feeder projects are not volunteer sites. They are projects for the researchers to test their models in an environment like MM@Home. These projects exist to enhance the productivity of model development. They also function as a quality assurance filter for MM@Home volunteers. Once a model is in working order researchers can request that the model be elevated to run at MM@Home. After an internal code review, a baby MM@Home model is born.
