我們很高興地宣布，生物啟發的認知架構與認知系統研究的結合，將從2019年第一期開始。到目前為止，這些期刊以獨立的標題出版，但只有一個使命——研究自然和人工的認知系統。我們認為現在是時候把這些期刊放在一起，為我們的社區提供一個單一的出版物，涵蓋認知系統研究的所有領域，促進理解、發展和應用。該期刊繼續以“認知系統研究”為題，保留期刊的影響因子(1.425)，歡迎原創研究文章、調查文章和簡短的交流。編輯團隊將由Peter Erdi(匈牙利和美國)領導，Alexei Samsonovich(美國和俄羅斯)和Emmanuelle Tognoli(美國)擔任特刊編輯，由生物學啟發的認知結構和認知系統研究編輯委員會的成員協助。我們相信，合并后，我們將繼續支持、促進和激勵比加共同體。認知系統研究將在培育和促進“BICA挑戰”方面發揮特殊作用，該挑戰旨在創造一個現實生活中與人類大腦相當的計算能力。認知系統研究的新整合結構，將在一年內聚焦于新興領域的多個專題，包括每年兩個BICA專門的專題。在提交過程中，作者將有自由將他們的手稿直接提交到一般或集中的特刊。我們對同行評審、快速出版和廣泛傳播的承諾始終如一，我們對社會的承諾也始終如一。我們邀請您訪問這里提交的認知系統研究主頁，在那里您可以了解更多關于該期刊的信息并提交您的手稿。

We are excited to announce the merger of Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures with Cognitive Systems Research, beginning with the first volume of 2019. Until now, the journals have published as separate titles but with one mission - the study of cognitive systems, both natural and artificial. We feel that the time is right to bring the journals together and provide our community with a single publication which covers all areas of cognitive systems research, fostering understanding, development and applications.The journal, continuing under the title, Cognitive Systems Research and retaining the Journal's Impact Factor (1.425) will welcome original research articles, survey articles, and short communications. The Editorial Team will be led by Péter ?rdi (Hungary and USA) with Alexei Samsonovich (USA and Russia) and Emmanuelle Tognoli (USA) serving as Special Issue Editors assisted by members from the Editorial Boards of both Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures and Cognitive Systems Research. We are confident that following the merge, we will continue to support, promote and inspire the BICA community. Cognitive Systems Research will play a special role in fostering and promoting the 'BICA Challenge' to create a real-life computational equivalent of the human mind. The new integrated structure of Cognitive Systems Research, will feature multiple special issues throughout the year focussing on emerging areas of interest including two BICA dedicated special issues each year. During the submission process, authors will have the freedom to direct their manuscript towards general submission or a focussed special issue. Our commitment to peer-review, rapid publication and wide dissemination remains constant, as does our commitment to the community.We invite you to visit the homepage of Cognitive Systems Research here Submissions, where you can learn more about the journal and submit your manuscript.
