International Journal of Cognitive Informatics and Natural Intelligence

Aims & Scope

Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a cutting-edge and multidisciplinary research area that tackles the fundamental problems shared by modern informatics, computation, software engineering, AI, cybernetics, cognitive science, neuropsychology, medical science, systems science, philosophy, linguistics, economics, management science, and life sciences.

CI is the transdisciplinary study into the internal information processing mechanisms and processes of the Natural Intelligence (NI) – human brains and minds – and their engineering applications in computing, ICT, and healthcare industries.

The development and the cross fertilization between the aforementioned science and engineering disciplines have led to a whole range of extremely interesting new research areas known as CI and NI.

The International Journal of Cognitive Informatics and Natural Intelligence (IJCINI) encourages submissions that transcends disciplinary boundaries, and is devoted to rapid publication of high quality papers.

The themes of IJCINI are natural intelligence, autonomic computing, and neuroinformatics.

IJCINI is expected to provide the first forum and platform in the world for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students to investigate cognitive mechanisms and processes of human information processing, and to stimulate the transdisciplinary effort on cognitive informatics and natural intelligent research and engineering applications.
