Situation Awareness in Cognitive Technologies

About

We are pleased to announce that the International Summer School on Situation Awareness in Cognitive Technologies (ISACT 2021) will be held from September 6 to 11, 2021 in Magdeburg, Germany, in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems (ICHMS 2021).

Situation Awareness in Cognitive Technologies is a trending research direction that gained a lot of interest from the industry in recent years. Therefore, the summer school aims to present the fundamental aspects of situation awareness in cognitive technologies which can be discussed in an interdisciplinary context. There are a couple of aspects to consider: Situation Awareness, Cognitive Technologies, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Explainable AI (XAI). Especially the HCI context provides a link between theory and application which receives special attention in this summer school along with the recent trends in Explainable AI. To make this school an interactive learning experience, we would encourage the participants to share their research presentations (posters) related to the above-mentioned topics.

The International Summer School on Situation Awareness in Cognitive Technologies is a great opportunity to learn about new technologies, meet fellow students/employees, discuss ideas with experts, participate in an international conference and simply have a splendid time in the city of Otto von Guericke!

Target group

Bachelor, Master or PhD student as well as young professionals interested in Cognitive Technologies.

Course aim
