[CFP] 2025 IEEE Conference on Cognitive and Computational Aspects of Situation Management (CogSIMA) | June 2 - 5 | Duisburg, Germany
Andrea Salfinger
2 – 5 June 2025 | University of Duisburg-Essen, Duisburg, Germany
Sponsored by the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society
Improved Situation Awareness in Theory and Application
In its 15th edition, the CogSIMA conference series will take place in Germany for the very first time, in the city of Duisburg.
The conference will be held at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Campus Duisburg, one of the leading academic institutions in the heart of Germany's industrial region, offering an ideal backdrop for a technical conference. CogSIMA 2025 is sponsored by the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMCS) and supported by the IEEE SMCS Technical Committees on Cognitive Situation Management and on Interactive and Wearable Computing and Devices.
The CogSIMA conference series provides an annual venue for presenting multi-disciplinary research on complex heterogeneous dynamical systems – of interacting humans, machines, computer agents and/or networks – whose individual and/or collective behavior depends on their situation awareness.
Application areas include autonomous vehicles, command and
control systems, disaster monitoring and recovery systems,
human-robot teams, human-AI teaming, physical and cyber security
situation awareness and cyber warfare systems, intelligent
transportation systems, health care medical situation control
systems, and many others.
The CogSIMA conferences are aimed at researchers and
practitioners from academia, industry, and government, with a wide
variety of backgrounds and experience including computer science,
artificial intelligence, human factors, cognitive science,
modeling and simulation, robotics, and systems engineering.
Accepted papers and poster presentations will be submitted for
publication in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library, which
will be indexed by all major indexing and web discovery services
(such as Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, DBLP, Semantic
Scholar etc.).

further information and updates on our program, venue, submission
guidelines and author requirements.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND PUBLICATION
_________________________________________________________________________
Two types of paper submissions will be accepted:
- Regular Papers (5-8 pages) that describe new results that
advance the state-of-the-art. Each accepted paper will be
allocated a slot for oral presentation during the conference.
- Poster Papers (3-5 pages) that describe work in progress. Each
accepted poster will be presented in a 5 min. talk in the poster
session, and will be included in the final conference proceedings
submitted to the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library.
All paper submissions will be handled electronically by EDAS.
Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of
their full paper in 2-column style (main text in 10-point size).
Please use the stylesheet templates provided by IEEE to assure
that your submission is in line with the IEEE guidelines. The
conference proceedings will be electronically published in the
IEEE CogSIMA Conference Proceedings and will be submitted to the
IEEE Xplore® Digital Library. 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/conference organizers grant permission
for a virtual presentation or a substitute presenter.
Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading
the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper.

CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS
_________________________________________________________________________
The CogSIMA 2025 Organizing Committee is also welcoming proposals
for Special Sessions on complex heterogeneous dynamical systems -
of interacting humans, machines, and computer agents - whose
collective behavior depends on their cognitive capabilities to
comprehend, explain, predict, and act upon the surrounding
operational situations.
The purpose of special sessions is to stimulate a focused
discussion on new or innovative topics. Of particular interest are
proposals that address “breaking news” research or topics
different from traditional situation understanding and management
related topics. Organizers of accepted special sessions will be
asked to chair the session and will be consulted when finalizing
the list of papers in the session.
Proposal Requirements
Each special session proposal should include an overview of the
topic that identifies its relevance and introduces the papers to
be presented. This description will be made available in the
proceedings. Each proposal should also include a list of committed
papers.
The following information must be included in a special session
proposal:
- Title of the proposed special session
- Names and affiliations of the organizers
- including brief bio and contact information
- Session abstract (less than 250 words)
- including the significance of the topic and the rationale for the proposed session
- List of committed papers
- including a tentative title, author list, and a short abstract for each paper. At least 5 papers are expected.
Evaluation Criteria
Special session proposals will be evaluated based on the
importance of the topic, relevance to the cognitive and
computational aspects of situation management, number of potential
papers (assessed from the list of committed papers), and the
qualification of the organizers. Once the proposal has been
approved, it will be included among the sessions available for
authors to submit their papers to. All papers submitted to a
special session will be reviewed through the same review process
as the regular papers of the conference to ensure that
contributions are of high quality. If a special session has more
papers accepted than the schedule can accommodate, some papers
might be moved to other relevant sessions.
Important Dates
Submission of special session proposals: Nov 11, 2024
Notification of acceptance: Nov 15, 2024
