The First workshop on Cognitive Architectures (CogArch 2015) will be at ASPLOS 2015, Istanbul, Turkey.
The emerging new interest in cognitive computing points to the need for defining hardware-software co-optimized architectures in support of this new paradigm. This workshop proposes to bring together researchers and practitioners within systems architecture, computer vision, artificial intelligence and robotics to discuss the latest ideas, applications and commercialization strategies around the cognitive computing theme. The primary focus is expected to be on driving towards a better understanding of key cognitive algorithms of interest and the architectural support issues thereof. Of particular interest is the special application area of mobile cognition: the distributed swarm intelligence represented by the promise of connected cars or a cooperating group of unmanned aerial and ground vehicles (UAVs and UGVs), distributed agents, robots, etc. The need for real-time response, coupled by the requirements of high energy efficiency and system resilience make this a particularly interesting and challenging arena for multi-disciplinary research innovations.
Topics of interest include (but not limited to):
1. Algorithms in support of cognitive reasoning: recognition, intelligent search, diagnosis, inference and informed decision-making.
2. Swarm intelligence and distributed architectural support; brain-inspired and neural computing architectures.
3. Accelerators and microarchitectural support for cognitive computing.
4. Cloud-backed autonomics and mobile cognition: architectural and OS support thereof.
5. Resilient design of distributed (swarm) mobile cognitive architectures.
6. Energy efficiency, battery life extension and endurance in mobile, cognitive architectures.
7. Case studies and real-life demonstration prototypes in specific application domains: e.g. connected cars and UAV-driven commercial services, defense and homeland security applications.
We invite interested participants to send in a lecture proposal (30 mins minimum to 60 mins maximum). The submission should include a title and abstract, along with a bio-sketch of the speaker and the proposed talk duration. Submitted lecture proposals will be reviewed by a Workshop Program Committee chaired by the co-organizers. Please e-mail your submissions to one of the organizers, with the subject: "CogArch 2015: <Your proposal title>".
Co-organizers:

Date and Venue: March 14th, 2015 at Istanbul, Turkey
Duration: Half-day
Deadline for submission: February 9th, 2015
