Short description

Since a few years a formal understanding of cognition is used and applied in several disciplines realizing situational, flexible behaviors for interactions and model‐based supervision. Based on cognitive functions (perception, interpretation, planning) or procedures (learning, reasoning, memorizing, ...) with the use of representations and soft‐/intelligent computing techniques, tasks of control and supervision of dynamical systems are discussed in a new sense. Applications fields like Human‐Machine‐Systems or Cognitive Interfaces are understand in a method‐oriented formal manner. Technical cognition is becoming a known term also in engineering, as well as a popular term in information science. But what is behind? This minisymposium should bring together and organize discussions of scientists on all levels related to technical and formal‐oriented cognition with respect to qualitative and quantitative modeling and simulation or related model‐based applications.

What is not intended to be included

• Modeling of neuro‐effects on a microscale
• Modeling based only on classical formal logic
