Abstract: Cognitive Informatics is a cutting-edge and multidisciplinary research area that tackles the fundamental problems shared by modern informatics, computing, software engineering, AI, cybernetics, cognitive science, neuropsychology, medical science, systems science, philosophy, linguistics, economics, management science, and life sciences. This editorial introduces the emerging field of cognitive informatics and its applications in cognitive computing, abstract intelligence, computational mathematics, and computational intelligence. The themes and structure of this special issue on cognitive informatics are described, and then, focuses of the selected papers in this special issue are highlighted.

Keywords: Cognitive informatics, natural intelligence, cognitive computing, abstract intelligence, artificial intelligence, neural informatics, denotational mathematics, computational intelligence
