Dealing with complexity has become one of the great challenges for modern information societies. To reason and decide, plan and act in complex domains is no longer limited to highly specialized professionals in restricted areas such as medical diagnosis, controlling technical processes, or serious game playing. Complexity has reached everyday life and affects people in such mundane activities as buying a train ticket, investing money, or connecting a home desktop to the internet. Interdisciplinary research on cognitive foundations and formal and algorithmical approaches of cognitive systems can address this challenge by providing insights in the mechanisms which can enable human and artificial systems to decide, reason, plan and act in complex domains.
Research which contributes to the topic of complex cognition is done in the context of cognitive architectures, automated planning and reasoning, decision support, and assistance systems. The special issue addresses basic mechanisms of complex cognitive systems as well as applications in arbitrary complex domains. It is open but not restricted to work in
* reasoning in complex domains
* learning from problem solving experience
* planning and problem solving in dynamic environments
* automated decision making and cognitive assistance systems.Call for Papers
