SUMMARY:KI 2013 Workshop on Visual and Spatial Cognition
DESCRIPTION:The ability to process spatial information is crucial for vario
 us tasks as diverse as navigation, planning, and managing abstract concepts
 . Research issues in spatial cognition range from the investigation of huma
 n spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation. Much of that research effor
 t has been experimental, putting little stress on precise models of the inv
 olved representations and processes. Obviously, spatial cognition is closel
 y related to visual cognition of places and scenes in general. Different vi
 sualization techniques and reasoning formalisms serve to analyze spatial co
 gnition processes. They can be used to achieve a more general cognitive mod
 el.\n\nSince eye tracking devices became cheaper and their handling more co
 mfortable during the last decade, eye tracking experiments are used in a wi
 de field of user experiments for studying visual cognition. Many questions,
  however, remain open, for instance from an efficient analysis of recorded 
 eye movements to the development of unified visual and cognitive models.\n\
 nThis workshop continues a series of successful workshops initiated by the 
 Special Interest Group ”Cognition” in the GI (German Society for Informatic
 s). This sixth workshop, which is held in conjunction with KI 2013, aims at
  bringing together researchers from artificial intelligence, computer scien
 ce, cognitive psychology, cognitive robotics, and visualization to foster a
  multidisciplinary exchange. The call was open for different topics and we 
 received a variety of papers: from discussing the usage of low-level featur
 es for vision-based localization, to extracting spatial relations among obj
 ects for failure detection during plan execution of a robot, to challenges 
 in using semantic knowledge for 3D object classification and semantic objec
 t recognition with segment faces. This interdisciplinary discussion of spat
 ial and semantic models is enriched with contributions from eye tracking da
 ta visualization.\n\nOur wish is that new inspirations and collaborations b
 etween the contributing disciplines will emerge from this workshop.\n\nThe 
 organizers of this workshop would like to thank the organizers of the KI 20
 13 conference, especially Ute Schmid, and the Spatial Cognition Research Ce
 nter SFB/TR 8 for their excellent support. We also would like to thank the 
 members of the program committee for their help in selecting and improving 
 the submitted papers, and finally all participants of the workshop for thei
 r contributions. \n\nMarco Ragni, Michael Raschke, Frieder Stolzenburg
