ICCC''' 2026 (International Conference on Cognitive Computing) is an academic conference held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 2026-08-22. The paper submission deadline is 2026-05-21. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-06-15.
Topics
The technical program of ICCC 2026 will include a Research Track, an Application Track, and a Short Paper Track. The ICCC 2026 tracks seek original, UNPUBLISHED research papers reporting substantive new work in various aspects of cognitive computing technologies and applications.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, BigData, METAVERSE, EDGE, ICIOT, ICCC, AIMS, ICBC, SERVICES, APSCC, ECOWS, and related journals including IJWSR and IJBPIM (see Literature Recommendations page).
ICCC 2026 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 a process perspective, the key sensing elements of Cognitive Intelligence As A Service include but are 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."
