CALL FOR PAPERS – IEEE ICCI 2008
THE 7TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COGNITIVE INFORMATICS
August 14-16, 2008
Stanford University, California, USA

****************************************************************************
THEME
Cognitive Computers and Computational Intelligence
Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a cutting-edge and transdisciplinary research
area that tackles the fundamental problems shared by modern informatics,
computing, AI, cybernetics, cognitive science, computational intelligence,
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 and ICT industries. The 7th IEEE International Conference on
Cognitive Informatics (ICCI’08) focuses on the theme of Cognitive Computers
and Computational Intelligence.
