#Publications
The Proceedings of the conference Cognit-2019 will be published in a separate edited volume with an ISBN and will be posted (open access) in October 2019 on the Web-site of the Multiconference IS 2019.
The best papers presented at the conference will be recommended (in modified and expanded forms) for publishing in Informatica. An International journal of Computing and Informatics (www.informatica.si, open access, no publication fee) and in the international journals of the DLINE group (http://www.dline.info/new/, no publication fees), in particular, in the Journal of Digital Information Management (http://www.dirf.org/jdim).
The are many chances that the Cognit-2019 Proceedings will be indexed in Scopus (an appropriate application has been under consideration).
# Conference Scope
The first objective of cognitonics is to explicate the distortions in the perception of the world caused by the peculiarities of knowledge society and globalization. The second, principal objective of cognitonics is to cope with these distortions in different fields by means of elaborating systemic solutions for compensating the negative implications of the kind for the personality and society, in particular, for creating cognitive-cultural preconditions of the harmonic development of the personality in knowledge society and for ensuring the successful development of national cultures and national languages.
Cognitonics formulates a new, large-scale goal for the software industry and Web science: to develop a new generation of culture-oriented computer programs and online courses intended for supporting and developing positively-oriented creativity, emotional intelligence, communication culture, social responsibility, the appreciation of the roots of the national cultures, the awareness of the integrity of the cultural space in the information and smart society and for supporting and developing symbolic information processing and linguistic skills, associative and reasoning abilities of children, adolescents, and university students.
From the standpoint of educational practice, cognitonics proposes an answer to the following question: what precious ideas and images accumulated by the mankind, at what age, and in what a way are to be inscribed into the world's conceptual picture of a person in order to harmonize his/her intellectual and spiritually-coloured emotional development and to contribute to the successful development of national cultures and national languages?
Being a relatively young scientific discipline, cognitonics both is of high social significance just now and has great prospects of the kind. It is due to the fact that it suggests new, deep and constructive ideas, new angles of look and original, effective solutions to a number of socially significant problems emerged in adjacent fields, including positive psychology and education. The examples of such solutions are as follows.
During last decade, big international companies, fulfilling the casting of the specialists for vacant positions, have been paying a high attention to the level of emotional intelligence (EI) of the pretenders. Cognitonics suggested a highly effective system of teaching methods aimed at supporting and developing EI of the learners. This system includes, in particular, a many-staged method of early children's socialization in information and knowledge society and a method of developing creativity, figurative thinking, the skill of integrating information from numerous dispersed sources. Cognitonics enriched psychology by means of introducing the notion of Thought-Producing Self and of suggesting the most deep today (on the world level) model of developing conscious control in the childhood: control of thought, emotions, and actions.
Art cognitonics - one of the most developed branches of cognitonics - makes a considerable contribution to cultural studies and personality development theory. It develops a complex method of using the works of art for positive development of the child's, adolescent's, and university student's personality. Art cognitonics suggests a new paradigm of delivering lectures on art.
