This special issue proposes a space for researchers to discuss the challenges of bridging pattern recognition and cognitive assistants. This bridge was travelled in both sides. From one side, how pattern recognition methods can help intelligent systems to become more cognitive. And from the other side, how cognitive models can improve pattern recognition methods so that the final system can better assist users. So, this special issue presents research work on these topics, aiming to observe their interrelations in order to create theoretical approaches, methodologies and computational tools to advance work on cognitive assistants and pattern recognition., Z.

This book contains the accepted papers at ProSocrates 17 Symposium: Problem-solving,Creativity and Spatial Reasoning in Cognitive Systems. ProSocrates 17 symposium was held at the Hansewissenschaftkolleg (HWK) of Advanced Studies in Delmenhorst, 20-21July 2017. This was the second edition of this symposium which tries to bring together researchers interested in spatial reasoning, problem solving and creativity. These ProSocrates 17 proceedings contains 6 accepted papers that were presented at the symposium. Each submitted paper was reviewed by two/three program committee members. Moreover, there were 6 invited talks whose abstracts are also included in these proceedings. 2017 1869

The ProSocrates 2017 Symposium aims to blend the topics of problem-solving, creativity and spatial reasoning. In this paper we will discuss the scientific interest of the topic blend. We will then describe the presented works, how they fit the Symposium theme and statistics about the 2nd Edition of ProSocrates. Finally, we will discuss how the topic mix looked like this year, possible future directions and an outlook for how the topics could be combined in the future. 1869
