Submissions Due: 10 April 2017

Cognitive computing is a new transformational technology and a new
innovative approach for solving some of the challenging issues that we
encounter in practice.  Cognitive computing systems and applications learn
to perform better from their interactions with us and with their
environment, reason with purpose, and interact with humans and other smart
systems naturally. Examples of services enabled by cognitive computing that
we already interact with are Apple Siri, IBM Watson, Microsoft Cortana,
Google Go, and Amazon Echo. We are now seeing a significant further
innovation in the development and application of cognitive computing across
almost every industry. Cognitive computing is poised for several helpful
applications in areas such as research and discovery, decision support and
advisory, customer engagement, customer experience management, healthcare,
the Internet of Things (IoT), and cyber security. Companies are seriously
examining how they can benefit from applying cognitive computing in their
organizations in key areas of importance. 

This workshop will provide an interactive forum for discussion on recent and
ongoing developments, key issues and challenges, and practices related to
cognitive computing. It will also provide a platform to demonstrate
applications and software tools and present case studies and application
experience. Researchers and practitioners all over the world, from academia,
industry, and government, are invited to participate in the workshop.

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

*	Cognitive computing systems - technologies, algorithms, and
approaches
*	Cognitive computing applications in enterprise, business,
healthcare, education, cyber security, risk management, and in other areas
*	Cognitive systems and intelligent virtual assistants
*	Cognitive computing and the Internet of Things
*	Autonomous systems and processes 
*	The impact on human computer interfaces
*	The impact on the workforce 
*	Knowledge capture, access, and reuse with cognitive systems 
*	Commerce applications for cognitive agent technologies
*	Cloud-centric cognitive computing
*	Cognitive computing implications for service innovation
*	Case studies
*	Issues and challenges facing adoption of cognitive computing
