Definition of CogInfoCom

Cognitive infocommunications (CogInfoCom) investigates the link between the research areas of infocommunications and cognitive sciences, as well as the various engineering applications which have emerged as the synergic combination of these sciences. The primary goal of CogInfoCom is to provide a systematic view of how cognitive processes can co-evolve with infocommunications devices so that the capabilities of the human brain may not only be extended through these devices, irrespective of geographical distance, but may also interact with the capabilities of any artificially cognitive system.

This merging and extension of cognitive capabilities is targeted towards engineering applications in which artificial and/or natural cognitive systems are enabled to work together more effectively.

Emerging topics in CogInfoCom

Socio-cognitive ICT - Prof. Hassan Charafincluding any approach that uses or influences collective knowledge through sensing and actuation of Internet activities and streams (see Tracks 4 & 5). Application-oriented papers focusing on smartphone based approaches are highly welcome.

Cognitive biases in CogInfoCom - Prof. Peter Foldesihow biases in human perception and high-level reasoning can be put to use in CogInfoCom systems.Mathability - Prof. Attila Gilanyimodeling and understanding mathematical capabilitiesof merged human-ICT systems. Mathability is a branch of CogInfoCom that investigates any combination of artificial and natural cognitive capabilities relevant to mathematics, including a wide spectrum of areas ranging from low-level arithmetic operations to high-level symbolic reasoning. Investigations on mathability extend to the question of how artificial mathematical capabilities can be quantified. Further, an important goal of mathability is to develop a set of methodologies using which human mathematical capabilities can be emulated and enhanced.

CogInfoCom channels - Prof. Adam Csapobased on e.g. sensory substitution, sensorimotor extension and high-level mapping between conceptual information and sensory data. CogInfoCom channels are sets of sensory signals that provide users with feedback information in a structured and interpretable way. CogInfoCom channels can support a large variety of communication types, including sensor-bridging, representation-sharing and representation-bridging.

Speechabilityall areas contributing to cognitive linguistics and speech technologies

Emerging topics in CogInfoCom

Interaction capabilities of CogInfoCom systems including e.g.- physiological interfaces including aspects of BCI, BAN, etc.- modality-oriented CogInfoCom including all aspects of human-and-"X" interaction- augmented content management and cognition based on e.g. 3D visualization, immersive augmented/virtual interaction, virtual avatars, etc.

Cognitive control theory (CoCo) - Prof. Jozsef Taris an interdisciplinary branch of engineering, mathematics, informatics, control theory and the cognitive/social sciences. CoCo deals with the dynamics of individual and/or collective cognitive phenomena. The theories and methodologies of CoCo give control theoretical interpretations of such dynamics in order to explain and control cognitive phenomena, as well as to apply them in system control design, without necessarily distinguishing between biological and artificial aspects. It is important to note that the definition of CoCo engenders systems which function in ways similar to cognitive phenomena, as well as systems which focus on the control of cognitive phenomena. An important aspect of CoCo is that it deals with the dynamics of both individual and collective cognitive phenomena. This means that not only the perception and reasoning of individual living systems are under focus, but also the collective tendencies and behaviors of systems comprised of a large number of living systems. CogInfoCom aided Industrial Applications - Prof. Bjorn Solvangincluding e.g. production engineering, production management and relevant industrial applications

Embodied and enactive cognitive systemsBased on e.g. cognitive robotics and autonomous mental development.
