Submissions

LATE-BREAKING call for Poster Presentation Abstracts

All presented Abstracts must present original and unpublished work that is not currently under review elsewhere. Abstracts will be evaluated according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the conference. At least one author for each accepted Proposal is required to attend the conference.

Two types of Abstracts will be accepted during this late-breaking submission process:

  1. Extended Abstract (“Flash”) Presentation (1-2 pages): describe new work to be performed that advance the state-of-the-art. Each accepted Extended Abstract will be allocated approximately time for an oral presentation during the conference (if associated with a Focus Session), or otherwise scheduled during the Flash Oral Presentation block of the Program Schedule. Posters associated with these talks will be given time allocated in the conference schedule for attendees to browse selected posters and discuss with presenters the work in detail.  
  2. Poster Presentation Only (1-2 pages): describe work in progress. Each accepted poster session proposal will be given time allocated in the conference schedule for attendees to browse selected posters and discuss with presenters the work in detail. Submissions to this category will not be eligible for participation in the flash presentations.

Please note that submissions are due 02 Oct 2023. 

NOTE: Posters should be prepared with a size of 4 feet x 3 feet (horizontal/landscape format)

Submitted abstracts should clearly indicate on the first page the submission type (Flash Oral Presentation + Poster or Poster Presentation only). All abstract submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair. Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper in the EPiC series format, including figures and correct margins. We recommend using the stylesheet templates provided by EasyChair for consistent formatting and guidelines.

Please Submit via EasyChair HERE and be sure to select “CogSIMA 2023 Late-Breaking Poster Abstract Submissions” from the list of Tracks. Abstracts submitted to the Full and Short Papers track will not be considered for evaluation.

Further information on submission guidelines and author requirements are below.

CogSIMA Topics include, but are not limited to: 

Cognitive Situation Management – Foundations & Models

Of interest to CogSIMA research initiative are foundational approaches representing and/or modeling cognitive and computational situation management processes, workflows, components, etc. Paper topics within this category may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Advances in conceptual frameworks, architectures, models or other formalizations of situation management, decision support, and control
  • Scale in situation awareness (public vs. organizational vs. team vs. individual; distributed vs. shared awareness)
  • Situational “Big Data” analysis such as social media analytics 
  • Predictive situation awareness
  • Situation modeling including anomaly and pattern detection, validation, metrics, and performance measures
  • Visualizations for situation awareness
  • Mental models, cognitive state modeling (e.g., fatigue), and cognitive processes/workflows 
  • Bio-inspired models of situation management
  • Context and knowledge representation
  • Models of Trust in data
  • Self-awareness and self-* capability models 
  • Machine learning and Deep learning in situation management

Integration, Teaming, and Augmentation of Human-Machine Systems

Of interest to CogSIMA research initiative is human-machine integration. Understanding models of human cognition, computational representations of human understanding, and integrations between these representations to enable the teaming and coordination between humans and their cyber-physical assets.

  • Brain-computer interfaces and neuroengineering
  • Neuroergonomics
  • Human-centered AI and human-machine symbiosis 
  • Impact of human ability (e.g., physical and/or mental impairment, demotivation) on situation management
  • Psychological aspects of situation management
  • Cognitive robotics and human-robot interaction
  • Cyber-physical-social systems situation awareness, monitoring, and management
  • Scalable autonomy (levels of authorized autonomy)


Collective Situation Management and Control
Of interest to CogSIMA research initiative is distributed situation awareness requirement the creation, organization, and interactions of a collective for situation management and control. Paper topics within this category may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Collective intelligence and emergent behavior in situation management
  • Cooperation and collaboration in teams 
  • Models of collective, autonomous, and resilient situation control
  • Socially sensitive design and socially responsive design
  • Advancements in languages and communication methods for mixed autonomous and human systems


Situation Management Applications
Of interest to CogSIMA research initiative are examples of application of situation management methodologies, algorithms, or techniques within real world domains including commercial, military, civilian, etc. Paper topics within this category may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Pandemic and disaster situation awareness, response, and recovery
  • Cyber security situation awareness and control
  • Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and wearable computing 
  • Autonomous vehicles and transportation systems
  • Resilient health care situation management 
  • Situation management in international relations, diplomacy, and law
  • Defense and autonomous teaming and control
  • System effectiveness and performance evaluation
  • Quantum computing for SA and decision making
  • Resilient systems for situation management
  • Identification and mitigation of Fake news

DUE DATES

LATE-BREAKING Poster Abstraction submission: 02 October 2023

Regular Papers submission: 01 July 2023

Poster Papers submission: 01 July 2023

Paper and Poster Submission Guidelines and Publication

Submitted papers should clearly indicate on the first page the submission type. All paper submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair. Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper in the EPiC series format, including figures and correct margins. We recommend using the stylesheet templates provided by EasyChair for consistent formatting and guidelines. Papers will be electronically published in the CogSIMA Conference Proceedings and will be submitted to the EasyChair EPiC Series, a SCOPUS indexed journal. 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 grants permission for a substitute presenter. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 2 papers.

Accepted paper authors should update their already submitted EasyChair paper with any formatting changes required for publication rather than re-submit or email the changes directly to the technical programming committee.

NOTE: The following contains archived details of the previous full call for papers and should not be used as a guide for any late-breaking paper submission formatting details.

Call for Papers

All papers must present original and unpublished work that is not currently under review elsewhere. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three independent referees. Papers will be evaluated according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the conference. At least one author for each accepted paper is required to attend the conference.

Two types of paper submissions will be accepted:

  1. Regular Papers (9-15 pages): describe new results that advance the state-of-the-art. Each accepted paper will be allocated approximately 25 minutes for the oral presentation during the conference.
  2. Short Papers (5-8 pages): describe work in progress. Each accepted poster paper will be presented in a 15 min. talk in the poster session.  

Please note that Full Paper and Poster Presentation submissions are due 01 July 2023. 

Further information on submission guidelines and author requirements are below.


Accepted papers and poster presentations will be submitted for publication in an EPiC Series Volume, hosted by EasyChair, a SCOPUS-indexed publication that will ensure your research reaches far and wide. The paper submissions themselves will be handled electronically by EasyChair.
