Hi Everyone,
Submissions for this year's HFES annual meeting are right around the corner, with a deadline of February 16th, 2026. The Cognitive Engineering and Decision-Making Technical Group (CEDM-TG) of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society is focused on the study of human decision making and cognition and the application of this knowledge to the design and development of systems and training programs in a wide variety of domains.
CEDM International Annual Meeting Call for Proposals: Authors & Formats
We're looking for submissions from all typical HFES audiences: academics, researchers, practitioners, industry, and government/military professionals. We also welcome proposals for all formats: Lecture format, discussion panels or invited symposia, demonstrations, posters, workshops, and alternative formats.
CEDM International Annual Meeting Call for Proposals: Suggested Topics & Keywords
We'd like to call out areas of interest for proposal submissions related to cognition and macrocognition 'in the wild', especially:
-
Descriptive views of how individuals, intelligent systems, human teams, and/or human-AI teams perform decision making and cognitive activities given real-world situations, goals and constraints, including:
-
individual & shared perception,
-
situation conception and problem definition through choice of action,
-
naturalistic, systems-oriented studies;
-
Models, processes, and characteristics of human decision making and cognition, alone and in conjunction with other individuals and/or with intelligent systems;
-
Task settings involving ill-structured problems, uncertainty, dynamic environments, complex systems, time stress, risk, multiple, changing goals, multiple individuals, intelligent systems, and organizational influences;
-
Technologies for assisting, modifying or supplanting human decision making;
-
Training strategies and programs for influencing or assisting human decision making and cognitive tasks; and
2026 CEDM keywords are: decision (aids, making, support, principles), naturalistic studies, joint cognitive systems, complex adaptive systems, teams/collaboration/organization.
Submit proposals here:
We look forward to your submissions and hope to see you in Reno later this year!
