*Session Description*
This special session deals with the problem of developing approaches 
supporting cognitive situation management. Since intelligent behavior is 
inherently situational, intelligent artificial agents and systems need 
to obtain situation awareness and expose situated behavior. Recent 
advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) have 
mainly focused on models of computational perception of individual local 
situations, achieving major breakthroughs in the automated detection of 
individual objects and entities from heterogeneous sources such as 
images, audio, video, and natural language. Hence, the upcoming 
challenge is how we can build intelligent agents capable to comprehend 
the overall observed situation(s), by interrelating these individual 
situations. As opposed to the clearly defined object recognition tasks, 
comprehension of situations represents a complex task of fusion of 
relational, spatial and temporal information, potentially emerging from 
the aggregation of multiple agents’ views. These challenging 
characteristics thus call for novel and potentially synergistic 
approaches from both sub-symbolic and symbolic AI, as well as 
inspirations from the models of collective (swarm) intelligence in 
biological agents developed in cognitive science.
Therefore, the goal is to bring together researchers from diverse fields 
to exchange on recent developments towards cognitive situation 
management, situation understanding, situation learning and knowledge 
acquisition, and situated interaction. *
