[Dr Amir Hussain]

Dear Colleagues: (with advance apologies for any cross-postings)

We are delighted to announce the publication of Volume 6, No.3 / Sep 2014
Issue, of Springer's Cognitive Computation journal - www.springer.com/12559

==============================================================
Important News!:  Increased Impact Factor for 2013!
==============================================================

As you will know, Cognitive Computation was selected for coverage in
Thomson Reuter’s products and services in 2011. Beginning with V.1 (1)
2009, this publication is now indexed and abstracted in: ♦ Science Citation
Index Expanded (also known as SciSearch®) ♦ Journal Citation
Reports/Science Edition ♦ Current Contents®/Engineering Computing and
Technology ♦ Neuroscience Citation Index®

Cognitive Computation received its first Impact Factor (IF) of 1.0 in 2011.

The IF for 2013 has increased to 1.1 (with a first 5 year IF of 1.387)
(Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports® 2013)

Many congratulations to the editors, reviewers and authors of this exciting
young journal!

==============================================================

The first six papers of the September 2014 Issue comprise a Special Issue
on the International Conference on Neural Information Processing
(ICONIP'2012) held at Qatar, 2012, Guest Edited by: Chuandong Li, Tingwen
Huang, Zhigang Zeng and He Huang, Xing He.

The Special Issue papers are followed by 17 regular papers, including an
invited paper titled: "An Insight into Extreme Learning Machines (ELMs):
Random Neurons, Random Features and Kernels" by Guang-Bin Huang
(http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12559-014-9255-2)

Reminder: New Cognitive Computation "LinkedIn" Group:
============================================
To further strengthen the bonds amongst the interdisciplinary audience of
Cognitive Computation, we have set-up a "Cognitive Computation LinkedIn
group", which has over 700 members already! We warmly invite you to join us
at: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=3155048

For further information on the journal and to sign up for electronic "Table
of Contents alerts" please visit the Cognitive Computation homepage:

Finally, we would like to invite you to submit short or regular papers
describing original research or timely review of important areas - our aim
is to peer review all papers within approximately six-eight weeks of
receipt.

We also welcome relevant high quality proposals for Special Issues - four
are already planned for 2014-15 (for CFPs, see:
