What is Cognitive Systems Engineering?
Cognitive Systems Engineering is a design discipline that uses analyses of work (practice, structure, purposes and constraints) to inform the design of process and technology for Human-System integration. It deals with socio-technical systems, where socio refers to the social processes of communication, cooperation and competition.

The Emphasis on Cognitive Work
Our discipline emphasizes cognitive work, traditionally viewed as the thinking associated with knowing, understanding, planning, deciding and problem solving. However, design of Cognitive Systems demands an ecological view in which Perception, Cognition and Action are treated as a single conceptual category. In this view, cognitive work involves the interplay between those three aspects of cognition and the way that the interplay establishes meaning.

A Community of Practice
We are a community of practice for sharing knowledge and resources in an online, collaborative environment. The Consortium’s collective power includes capabilities from industry, defense and academia. Membership is currently distributed throughout the USA as well as Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan and Singapore. Members from other countries are welcome. Membership is open to any organization (or individual) interested in Cognitive Systems Engineering.
