Inaugural Editorial

Abstract

A warm welcome to the inaugural issue of the Journal of Computational and Cognitive Engineering (JCCE), a new exciting title to Bon View Press portfolio journals for 2022. The launch of this pioneering journal by Bon View Press marks a new era for the multidisciplinary field.

With the increasingly complex situations being modeled to find reasonable answers, the role of computation and cognitive learning has become essential. Therefore, the journal’s focus is to provide a new platform for disseminating the latest research and current practices of the emerging fields from cognitive, computational engineering, and artificial intelligence to brain science, cognition, and machine intelligence. As reflected in the journal name, JCCE identifies distinct, effective, and timely approaches to solve the problems related to the fields in question.

Computational Engineering is an emerging and rapidly growing multidisciplinary field that applies advanced computational methods and analysis to engineering practice. However, Cognitive Engineering emphasizes the application of knowledge and techniques from cognitive psychology to the design of human–machine systems. Models and simulations of cognition have gained popularity as interactive systems have been developed to shed light on human behaviour prediction while developing new approaches and testing cognitive theories themselves. Thus, Computational and Cognitive Engineering offers a broader systems perspective to analyzing and designing human–machine systems.
