COGNTIVE 2018 The Tenth International Conference on Advanced Cognitive Technologies and Applications ISBN: 978-1-61208-609-5 February 18 - 22, 2018 Barcelona, Spain COGNITIVE 2018 Editors Olga Chernavskaya, Lebeved Physical Institute, Moscow, Russia Kazuhisa Miwa, Nagoya University, Japan 1 / 96 COGNITIVE 2018 Forward The Tenth International Conference on Advanced Cognitive Technologies and Applications (COGNITIVE 2018), held between February 18 - 22, 2018 - Barcelona, Spain, targeted advanced concepts, solutions and applications of artificial intelligence, knowledge processing, agents, as key-players, and autonomy as manifestation of self-organized entities and systems. The advances in applying ontology and semantics concepts, web-oriented agents, ambient intelligence, and coordination between autonomous entities led to different solutions on knowledge discovery, learning, and social solutions. The conference had the following tracks: Brain information processing and informatics Artificial intelligence and cognition Agent-based adaptive systems Applications Similar to the previous edition, this event attracted excellent contributions and active participation from all over the world. We were very pleased to receive top quality contributions. We take here the opportunity to warmly thank all the members of the COGNITIVE 2018 technical program committee, as well as the numerous reviewers. The creation of such a high quality conference program would not have been possible without their involvement. We also kindly thank all the authors that dedicated much of their time and effort to contribute to COGNITIVE 2018. We truly believe that, thanks to all these efforts, the final conference program consisted of top quality contributions. Also, this event could not have been a reality without the support of many individuals, organizations and sponsors. We also gratefully thank the members of the COGNITIVE 2018 organizing committee for their help in handling the logistics and for their work that made this professional meeting a success. We hope COGNITIVE 2018 was a successful international forum for the exchange of ideas and results between academia and industry and to promote further progress in the area of cognitive technologies and applications. We also hope that Barcelona provided a pleasant environment during the conference and everyone saved some time for exploring this beautiful city. 2 / 96 COGNITIVE 2018 Chairs COGNITIVE 2018 Steering Committee Po-Hsun Cheng, National Kaohsiung Normal University, Taiwan Jose Alfredo F.
