We would like to introduce you the latest edition of the CogSIMA conference series!

For its 13th year, The Conference on Cognitive and Computational Aspects of Situation Management (CogSIMA) returns to the United States, to the city of brotherly love: Philadelphia! CogSIMA 2023 will be held at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, USA between 16-19 October 2023.

Drexel University is located at the heart of Philadelphia's University City district and walking distance from Philadelphia's primary intermodal transit station, providing easy access to airports, other parts of the city, and cities up and down the east coast. Ranked in the top 2% of universities worldwide, its modern campus provides everything a visitor would need. University City, which also hosts the University of Pennsylvania, contains significant entertainment in the form of restaurants, parks, theaters, etc. In addition, Center City and Old City Philadelphia have a healthy blend of modern amenities, an incredible variety in cuisine from around the world, and history to appease a wide variety of preferences. For the more adventurous, there’s hiking along the Appalachian Trail, sandy beaches along the Atlantic Ocean, and plenty of rivers and lakes for sailing or kayaking. Philadelphia is also a major international travel hub, making transportation convenient from most locations.

Please consult http://cogsima2023.org/ for further information and updates on our program and venue.

Since 2011 the CogSIMA conferences has 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, and (4) assess inter-dependencies between systems. Continuing in its successful, interdisciplinary tradition, CogSIMA 2023 will provide an inspiring forum for scientists and practitioners from diverse backgrounds including cognitive science, computer science, artificial intelligence, psychology, and human factors.

Please note that Full Paper and Short Paper submissions are due 01 July 2023.

Further information on submission guidelines and author requirements is provided under http://cogsima2023.org/. Accepted papers and poster presentations will be submitted for publication and SCOPUS indexing via the EasyChair EPiC series. The paper submissions themselves will also be handled electronically via EasyChair.

Interested attendees are also encouraged to propose and organize:

CogSIMA Topics include, but are not limited to:

Cognitive Situation Management – Foundations & Models

Of interest to CogSIMA research initiative are foundational approaches representing and/or modeling cognitive and computational situation management processes, workflows, components, etc. Paper topics within this category may include, but are not limited to, the following:

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
Visualizations for situation awareness
Mental models, cognitive state modeling (e.g., fatigue), and cognitive processes/workflows
Bio-inspired models of situation management
Context and knowledge representation
Models of Trust in data
Self-awareness and self-* capability models
Machine learning and Deep learning in situation management

Integration, Teaming, and Augmentation of Human-Machine Systems

Of interest to CogSIMA research initiative is human-machine integration. Understanding models of human cognition, computational representations of human understanding, and integrations between these representations to enable the teaming and coordination between humans and their cyber-physical assets.

Brain-computer interfaces and neuroengineering
Neuroergonomics
Human-centered AI and human-machine symbiosis
Impact of human ability (e.g., physical and/or mental impairment, demotivation) on situation management
Psychological aspects of situation management
Cognitive robotics and human-robot interaction
Cyber-physical-social systems situation awareness, monitoring, and management
Scalable autonomy (levels of authorized autonomy)

Collective Situation Management and Control

Of interest to CogSIMA research initiative is distributed situation awareness requirement the creation, organization, and interactions of a collective for situation management and control. Paper topics within this category may include, but are not limited to, the following:

Collective intelligence and emergent behavior in situation management
Cooperation and collaboration in teams
Models of collective, autonomous, and resilient situation control
Socially sensitive design and socially responsive design
Advancements in languages and communication methods for mixed autonomous and human systems

Situation Management Applications

Of interest to CogSIMA research initiative are examples of application of situation management methodologies, algorithms, or techniques within real world domains including commercial, military, civilian, etc. Paper topics within this category may include, but are not limited to, the following:

Pandemic and disaster situation awareness, response, and recovery
