Scope

Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a cutting-edge and transdisciplinary research area that tackles the fundamental problems shared by modern informatics, computing, AI, cybernetics, computational intelligence, cognitive science, neuropsychology, medical science, systems science, software engineering, knowledge engineering, philosophy, linguistics, economics, management science, and life sciences. CI is a transdisciplinary enquiry on the internal information processing mechanisms and processes of the natural intelligence - human brains and minds - and their engineering applications in computing, computational intelligence, and the IT industries.

The development and the cross fertilization between the aforementioned science and engineering disciplines have led to a whole range of extremely interesting new research areas known as CI. Following the first seven successful conferences on Cognitive Informatics (ICCI’02 through ICCI’08), the 8th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Informatics (ICCI’09) focuses on the theme of Cognitive Computing and Semantic Mining The objectives of ICCI¡¦09 are to draw attention of researchers, practitioners, and graduate students to the investigation of cognitive mechanisms and processes of human information processing, and to stimulate the international effort on cognitive informatics research and engineering applications.

Original papers are invited from multidisciplinary perspectives on subject areas including, but not limited to, the following:
