CFP
forCognitive Computing track

We invite research contributions to the “Cognitive Computing” Track of the 27th edition of The Web Conference (WWW 2018), to be held April 23-27, 2018 in Lyon, France (/www2018/).

Cognitive Computing has received increasing attention from academia and industries as it brings cognitive science and computing together for the development of new computational platforms, infrastructures, systems and algorithms. Artificial intelligence and computational intelligence are key elements to succeed in cognitive computing.

The Cognitive Computing track was successfully organized at WWW2017. This year, WWW2018 continues this track with a focus on all applications. Particularly, applications in healthcare, environment, education, sustainability, smart cities and food science are among the important global challenges in 21st Century.

We welcome submissions from academia as well as industry and government sectors. All contributions should focus on the use of cognitive computing. Results obtained by simulations must be validated by experiments or analytical results. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. All submissions will undergo rigorous peer review by the Cognitive Computing Track program committee.

Topics include (but are not limited to) the following research topics and technologies:

  • Cognitive Computing and WWW topics
    • Cognitive Innovations in WWW
