Where Cognitive Science Meets Computer Science

Since 2011, the CogSIMA conferences have promoted a multidisciplinary approach to research on dynamic, cyber-physical-social systems of systems, emerging from the interaction of people, machines, computer systems and organizations situated in complex dynamic environments. Critical to these systems of systems are their cognitive and computational capabilities to:

  1. sense, perceive, comprehend, and predict situations
  2. reason about and recommend possible actions for situations
  3. facilitate learning, self-organization and collective intelligence
  4. assess interdependencies between systems.

Continuing in its successful, interdisciplinary tradition, CogSIMA 2022 will provide an inspiring forum for scientists and practitioners from diverse backgrounds including cognitive science, computer science, artificial intelligence, psychology, and human factors.

The CogSIMA conferences are aimed at researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, with a wide variety of backgrounds and experience including computer science, human factors, cognitive science, modeling & simulation, robotics, and systems engineering.

Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to:

Situation Management – Foundations & Models

  • Advances in conceptual frameworks, architectures, models or other formalizations of situation management, decision support, and control
  • Scale in situation awareness (public vs. organizational vs. team vs. individual; distributed vs. shared awareness)
  • Situational “Big Data” analysis such as social media analytics
  • Predictive situation awareness
  • Situation modeling including anomaly and pattern detection, validation, metrics, and performance measures
  • Computer aided decision-making
  • Human-computer interfaces for situation management
  • Visualizations for situation awareness
  • Mental models and cognitive processes
  • Bio-inspired models of situation management
  • Context and knowledge representation
  • Impact of human ability (e.g., physical and/or mental impairment, demotivation) on situation management
  • Trust, including fake data
  • Self-awareness and self-* capability models and their integration into cognitive situation management
  • Artificial Intelligence (including machine learning and neural network learning) in situation management
  • Psychological aspects of situation management
  • Design, development, and adaptation of resilient systems for situation management

Collective Situation Management and Control

  • Collective intelligence and emergent behavior in situation management
  • Cooperation and collaboration in multi-agent situation management
  • Models of collective, autonomous, and resilient situation control
  • Socially sensitive design and socially responsive design
  • Innovations in mixed initiative systems, protocols, and architectures
  • Human-centered AI and human-machine symbiosis

Situation Management Applications

  • Pandemic and disaster situation awareness, response, and recovery
  • Cyber security situation awareness and control
  • Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and wearable computing
  • Cognitive robotics and human-robot interaction
  • Cyber-physical systems situation awareness, monitoring, and management
  • Autonomous vehicles and transportation systems
  • Resilient health care situation management
  • Situation management in international relations and diplomacy
  • Defense and autonomous mission control
  • Application-specific system effectiveness and performance evaluation
