Dear colleagues, please note the CFP for IEEE CogSIMA conference.
2025 IEEE Conference on Cognitive and Computational Aspects of Situation Management (CogSIMA)
2 – 5 June 2025 | University of Duisburg-Essen, Duisburg, Germany
Sponsored by the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society
[IEEE CogSIMA 2025](http:/cogsima2025.org)
Improved Situation Awareness in Theory and Application
In its 15th edition, the CogSIMA conference series will take place in Germany for the very first time, in the city of Duisburg.
The conference will be held at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Campus Duisburg, one of the leading academic institutions in the heart of Germany's industrial region, offering an ideal backdrop for a technical conference. CogSIMA 2025 is sponsored by the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMCS) and supported by the IEEE SMCS Technical Committees on Cognitive Situation Management and on Interactive and Wearable Computing and Devices.
The CogSIMA conference series provides an annual venue for presenting multi-disciplinary research on complex heterogeneous dynamical systems – of interacting humans, machines, computer agents and/or networks – whose individual and/or collective behavior depends on their situation awareness.
Application areas include autonomous vehicles, command and control systems, disaster monitoring and recovery systems, human-robot teams, human-AI teaming, physical and cyber security situation awareness and cyber warfare systems, intelligent transportation systems, health care medical situation control systems, and many others.
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, artificial intelligence, human factors, cognitive science, modeling and simulation, robotics, and systems engineering.
Accepted papers and poster presentations will be submitted for publication in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library, which will be indexed by all major indexing and web discovery services (such as Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, DBLP, Semantic Scholar etc.).
Please consult http://cogsima2025.org for further information and updates on our program, venue, submission guidelines and author requirements.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Situation sensing, perception, comprehension, and prediction
- “Big Data” analysis and social media processing for situation awareness
- Cognitive information fusion
- Integration of human and signal intelligence, cyber-physical-social systems
- Models of collaboration and emergent behavior in cognitive multi-agent systems
- Situation recognition in autonomous systems and autonomous vehicles
- Situation assessment in Reinforcement Learning and Deep Learning
- Generative AI and Explainable AI for situation awareness and situated human-machine interaction
- Cognitive Situation Management with Neuroergonomics and Brain-Machine Interface
- Biologically-inspired computational models of situation management
- Approaches to spatial and temporal reasoning, reasoning about goals, intentions and actions
- Models of human-machine collaboration
- Performance evaluation and metrics of human- machine systems including human-AI teaming
- Ontology-based computing, context modeling and discovery, situation modeling, representation and identification
- Systems, platforms and tools for situation awareness, situation control, and decision support
- System-level experiments and application-specific research
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND PUBLICATION
Two types of paper submissions will be accepted:
- Regular Papers (5-8 pages) that describe new results that advance the state-of-the-art. Each accepted paper will be allocated a slot for oral presentation during the conference.
- Poster Papers (3-5 pages) that describe work in progress. Each accepted poster will be presented in a 5 min. talk in the poster session, and will be included in the final conference proceedings submitted to the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library.
All paper submissions will be handled electronically by EDAS. Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper in 2-column style (main text in 10-point size). Please use the stylesheet templates provided by IEEE to assure that your submission is in line with the IEEE guidelines. The conference proceedings will be electronically published in the IEEE CogSIMA Conference Proceedings and will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library. At least one author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC/conference organizers grant permission for a virtual presentation or a substitute presenter. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper.
