In our opinion, recommendations should also be designed/evaluated taking into account cognitive and emotional factors. This issue is closely related with key trends that are in the peak of the Gartner's 2016 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies (</span><a href="http://gartner.com/newsroom/id/3412017" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" style="font-size:12.8px">gartner.com/newsroom/id/34120<wbr>17</a><span style="font-size:12.8px">) as cognitive expert advisors, machine learning or smart robots.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">This bridge should be traveled in both sides. From one side, cognition represents an ideal model to link different disciplines, as the field of Robotics and that of Interaction studies, or the field of Decision Support Systems and that of Information Retrieval. Cognitive architectures are providing recommendations to an agent (a human or a robot) in order to interact with the environment (perceived environment or collected data).</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">On the other side, expert recommender systems, by getting assessment from collaborative human expertise, can automate, in a cognitive way, procedures and tasks, either for physical agents, like robots, or soft agents collecting information from databases or Internet.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Interaction experiences bridging cognitive architectures and recommender systems refers not only to objective measures related with the associated task, but especially to the subjective ones: emotions, mood, engagement, availability. Appealing architectures managing these concerns consider fuzzy / hesitant / qualitative / uncertainty measures and reasoning.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">TOPICS COVERED:</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">- Cognitive modeling, cognitive systems, cognitive architectures, cognitive representations.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">- Recommender systems, decision support systems, group decision making, cognitive expert advisors.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">- Context-aware systems, sentiment analysis, and social data analysis.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">- Logic and reasoning, spatial thinking, spatio-temporal reasoning, common-sense reasoning.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">- Theoretical foundations of cognitive models and recommender systems: machine learning, computational intelligence, data analysis and data mining, knowledge acquisition and representation, adaptive perception/cognition.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">- Cognitive Robotics.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">- Applications involving topics from above and focused on: education, robotics, creativity, ambient-intelligence, health-care</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">SUBMISSION:</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Manuscripts should be prepared according to the "Instructions For Authors" of the journal found at</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><a href="http://www.springer.com/biomed/neuroscience/journal/12559?detailsPage=pltci_2094392" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" style="font-size:12.8px">http://www.springer.com/biomed<wbr>/neuroscience/journal/12559?de<wbr>tailsPage=pltci_2094392</a><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">and submissions should be done through the EditorialManager system:</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><a href="https://www.editorialmanager.com/cogn/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" style="font-size:12.8px">https://www.editorialmanager.c<wbr>om/cogn/default.aspx</a><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">selecting the category "SI: Bridging Cognitive Models and Recommender Systems,(CC-CogM+RS)"</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">SCHEDULING:</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Submissions Deadline: January 15th, 2018</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">First notification of acceptance: April 1st, 2018</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Submission of revised papers: May 1st, 2018</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Final notification to the authors: May 20th, 2018</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Submission of final/camera-ready papers: June 15th, 2018</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Publication of special issue: September 2018</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">GUEST EDITORS:</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">- Prof. Dr. Cecilio Angulo, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - UPC BarcelonaTECH , Spain</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">- Dr.-Ing.
