COG 2013 - Cognitive Computing and Networking Symposium

Cognitive computing and networking are two closely related emerging technologies. Cognitive computing concerns
with developing computing systems modeled after the human cognitive systems and to teach computers to think and
reasoning like a human mind. Cognitive networking refers to developing networks with a cognitive process that can
perceive current network conditions, plan, decide, act on those conditions, learn from the consequences of its
actions, all while following end-to-end goals. The Cognitive Computing and Networking Symposium will focus on
topics related to all aspects of this important problem area. Of special interest are papers reporting on novel and
practical solutions to cognitive computing, cognitive algorithms and network design, field tests ad measurements,
and emerging applications. To ensure complete coverage of the advances in this broad area for current and future
systems, the Cognitive Computing and Networking Symposium solicits original contributions in, but not limited to,
the following topical areas:
? Adaptive antennas and cognitive RF front-ends
? Analytical models and fundamental limits for cognitive networking
? Applications in public safety, vehicular networks, battlefield networks, and others
