International Conference on Cognitive Computing (ICCC 2024)
https://www.servicessociety.org/iccc , November 16 - 19, 2024, Bangkok, Thailand

Theme: Cognitive Services for AGI

Introduction of ICCC

The International Conference on Cognitive Computing combines technical aspects of cognitive computing with service computing, focusing on all of cognition, computation, and business to understand and engineer effective value-creation. ICCC aims to cover all acts or processes of knowing, perceiving, judging, reasoning, and associating based on computing platforms and algorithms. ICCC calls the entire services computing community to work toward realizing "Sensing Intelligence as a Service". Part of the SCF 2018, ICCC 2018 was successfully held on June 25 - June 30, 2018, Seattle, USA. Part of the SCF 2019, ICCC 2019 was successfully held on June 25 - 30, 2019, San Diego, USA. Part of the SCF 2020, ICCC 2020 and ICCC 2021 was successfully held over the Internet. ICCC 2022 was successfully held on December 10 - 14, 2022, Hawaii, USA. ICCC 2023 was successfully held on December 17 - 18, 2023, Shenzhen, China. In 2024, we will celebrate our 2024 version of gathering, to strive to advance the largest international professional forum on cognitive services.

ICCC 2024 is a member of Services Conference Federation (SCF). SCF 2024 will have the following 10 collocated service-oriented sister conferences: 2024 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2024), 2024 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2024), 2024 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2024), 2024 International Conference on Big Data (BigData 2024), 2024 International Conference on AI & Mobile Services (AIMS 2024), and 2024 International Conference on Metaverse (METAVERSE 2024), 2024 International Conference on Internet of Things (ICIOT 2024), 2024 International conference on Cognitive Computing (ICCC 2024), 2024 International Conference on Edge Computing (EDGE 2024), and 2024 International Conference on Blockchain (ICBC 2024).

As the founding member of the Services Conference Federation (SCF), the first International Conference on Web Services (ICWS) was held in June 2003 in Las Vegas, USA. Meanwhile, the First International Conference on Web Services - Europe 2003 (ICWS-Europe 2003) was held in Germany in October 2003. ICWS-Europe'03 is an extended event of the 2003 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2003) in Europe. In 2004, ICWS-Europe was changed to the European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS), which was held at Erfurt, Germany.

Sponsored by Services Society and Springer, SCF 2018 and SCF 2019 were held successfully in Seattle and San Diego, USA. SCF 2020 and SCF 2021 was held successfully online and in Shenzhen, China. SCF 2023 was held successfully in Shenzhen, China. To celebrate its 21-year-old birthday, SCF 2024 will be held on November 16 - 19, 2024, Bangkok, Thailand.

Conference Proceedings

The Proceedings of ICCC 2024 will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer International Publishing AG. Currently the Abstracting and Indexing services covered by Springer’s data feeds for LNCS proceedings include Engineering Index EI (Compendex and Inspec databases), DBLP, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Scopus, and ZBlMath. The Best Paper Awards will be sponsored by Springer, which is a leading global scientific, technical and medical portfolio, providing researchers in academia, scientific institutions and corporate R&D departments with quality content through innovative information, products and services.

Extended versions of selected papers will be invited for special issues in the related journals including IJWSR(SCI), Electronics (SCI IF=2.9),Sustainability (SCI and SSCI, IF=3.9), Remote Sensing (SCI, IF=5.0), Mathematics (SCI, IF=2.4), Journal of Cybersecurity and Privacy,STBD, STSC, STCC, STIOT and IJBPIM.

Topics

ICCC 2024 organizing committee invites you to participate in 2024 edition of ICCC, to be held on November 16 - 19, 2024, Bangkok, Thailand.

The technical program of ICCC 2024 will include a Research Track, an Application Track, and a Short Paper Track. The ICCC 2024 tracks seeks original, UNPUBLISHED research papers reporting substantive new work in various aspects of cognitive computing technologies and applications. Research Track papers MUST clearly indicate their contributions to the field of cognitive computing technologies, applications and solutions. All papers MUST properly cite related work in the field, such as those published in the proceedings of ICWS, SCC, CLOUD, AIMS, SERVICES, BigData, ICIOT, ICBC, EDGE, APSCC, ECOWS, and related journals including STBD, JWSR, STSC, STCC, STIOT and IJBPIM (see Literature Recommendations page).

ICCC 2024 covers state-of-the-art technologies and best practices of cognitive computing, as well as emerging standards and research topics which would define the future of cognitive computing. Cognitive Computing is a sensing-driven-computing (SDC) scheme that explores and integrates intelligence from all types of senses in various scenarios and solution contexts. It is well beyond traditional human being's senses, which have four major senses (sight, smell, hearing, and taste) located in specific parts of the body, as well as a sense of touch located all over a body.

From process perspective, the key sensing elements of Cognitive Intelligence As A Service includes but not limited to producing, extracting, understanding, perceiving, responding, deciding, inferencing, correlating, propagating, billing, exchanging, trading, replicating, destroying, repairing sensing intelligences in scientific and business applications.

There are some initial thoughts about cognitive computing. For example, as defined on wikipedia, "Cognitive computing (CC) describes technology platforms that, broadly speaking, are based on the scientific disciplines of Artificial Intelligence and Signal Processing. These platforms encompass machine learning, reasoning, natural language processing, speech and vision, human-computer interaction, dialog and narrative generation and more."

Topics of interest to include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Cognitive Sensing
- Cognitive Touch
- Cognitive Models
- Sensing Intelligence
- Internet of Touch
- Internet of Brain
- Cognitive Memory
- Cogntive Hardware
- Cognitive Platforms
- Cognitive Solutions
- Cognitive 5G
- Cognitive Cloud
- AIGC for Cognitive Computing

Paper Submissions
