This book constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Cognitive Computing, ICCC 2018, held as part of SCF 2018, in Seattle, WA, USA, in June 2018. The 15 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover all aspects of Sensing Intelligence (SI) as a Service (SIaaS). Cognitive Computing is a sensing-driven computing (SDC) schema that explores and integrates intelligence from all types of senses in various scenarios and solution contexts.
