CACS 2016 - Fourth Annual Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems

The Fourth Annual Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems will take place June 23-26, 2016, at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, USA.
The goal of the Advances in Cognitive Systems conference is to bring together researchers interested in building cognitive systems that focus on high-level cognition and decision making, reliance on rich, structured representations, and incorporation of insights about human thinking. This venue is for dissemination of research results pertaining to the original, yet unanswered, questions of Artificial Intelligence: to produce computational artifacts that reproduce a broad range of human cognitive abilities.
The conference welcomes work on any topic related to the representation or organization of complex knowledge structures, their use in multi-step cognition, or their acquisition from experience or instruction. Some functional capabilities that arise in this context include, but are not limited to:
Conceptual Inference and Reasoning
Memory Storage and Retrieval
Language Processing
Social Cognition and Interaction
High-level Execution and Control
Problem Solving and Heuristic Search
Cognitive Aspects of Emotion and Personality
Metacognition and Meta-level Reasoning
Structural Learning and Knowledge Capture
Cognitive Vision and High-level Perception
