Cognitive Computing


Submission deadline: 1 December 2016
Publication: July/August 2017

Cognitive computing refers to smart systems that learn at scale, reason with
purpose, and interact with humans and other smart systems naturally. Rather
than being explicitly programmed, such systems learn and reason from their
interactions with us and from their experiences with their environment. They
are made possible by advances in several scientific fields over the past
half-century, and are different in important ways from the information
systems that preceded them. We already interact with services enabled by
cognitive computing, such as Apple Siri, IBM Watson, Microsoft Cortana,
Google Go, and Amazon Echo.

This special issue of IT Professional seeks to provide readers with an
overview of the current issues and practices related to cognitive computing
as well as a look into the future as IT professionals and technologies
become indispensable as key enablers of product and service development and
the creation of new markets. We seek articles from industry, business,
academia, and government. Articles should be novel, have a practical
orientation, and be written in a style accessible to practitioners. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to the following: 

*	The relationship between AI, machine intelligence, and cognitive
computing 
*	Cognitive computing applications for the enterprise 
*	Embedded AI and cognitive systems 
*	Cognitive systems and intelligent virtual assistants
*	Machine intelligence and the Internet of Things
*	Machine learning algorithms and approaches
*	The role of big data and traditional analytics
*	Autonomous systems and processes 
*	The impact on human computer interfaces
*	Knowledge processes: capture, access, and reuse with cognitive
systems 
*	The cognitive computing problem space
*	Neuroscience foundations of information processing
*	The role of knowledge engineering 
*	Humans working with machines and the impact on the workforce 
*	Ontologies and semantic structures  
*	Commerce applications for cognitive agent technologies
*	Sensors and networks
*	Cloud-centric cognitive computing
*	Cognitive computing implications for service innovation
