> OBJETCIVES
> 
> The study of human operational strategies and human processes is a particularly 
> well developed area of Cognitive Science. This particular domain belongs to the 
> larger field of Information Science, which considers semantic and qualitative 
> aspects of information, rather than digital and qualitative ones. This 
> represents an important issue for industries concerned with human beings in a 
> work place context because Cognitive Science provides a great number of 
> additional dimensions allowing to conceive more complete systems.
> 
> It is the purpose of the European Conference on Cognitive Science to assemble 
> theoreticians and practitioners from industry and academic institutions to 
> discuss questions related to the practical application of Cognitive Science in 
> industrial settings. The conference will be a forum for those who recognize the 
> need to develop theories, methods, and systems to ensure the transfer of 
> laboratory results into real-life problem situations. Furthermore, the European 
> Conference on Cognitive Science will facilitate the exchange of expertise among 
> practitioners.
>

> following institutions:
