After highly successful editions of the Workshop on Cognitive Architectures in 2015 and 2016, in this year’s edition we expect to consolidate the many recent works in this field and provide concrete roadmaps as to what subsequent directions the research in this field should take. This workshop proposes to bring together researchers and practitioners within systems architecture, computer vision, artificial intelligence and robotics to discuss the latest ideas, applications and commercialization strategies around the cognitive computing theme. In addition, it also aims to foster an interest into such emerging fields among industry and academic researchers alike.
