• Abstract: Process science is a highly interdisciplinary field of research. Despite numerous proposals, process science lacks an adequate understanding of the core concepts of the field, including notions such as process, event, and system. A more systematic framework to cope with process science is mandatory. We suggest such a framework using an example. The framework itself addresses three aspects: architecture, statics, and dynamics. Corresponding formal concepts, based on established scientific theories, together provide an integrated framework for understanding processes in the world. We argue that our foundations have positive implications not only for theoretical research, but also for empirical research, e.g., because hypothesized relationships can be explicitly tested. It is now time to start a discussion about the foundations of our field.

  We focus on developing a pragmatic ontology of belief systems, which is a complex and often controversial space. By iterating on our community-based design until mutual agreement is reached, we found that methods were best for categorizing the fundamental ways beliefs differ.

The results seem to indicate a promising approach to define information and understand its nature.

  We describe the development of a course of quantum mechanics for secondary school designed to address the challenges related to the revision of classical knowledge. The course is based on a systemic approach to conceptual change, which relies on its analysis in the transition from classical to quantum mechanics.

  This paper stems from the 1st Workshop on Computational Argumentation and Cognition (COGNITAR) It argues that within the context of Human-Centric AI the use of theory and methods from Computational Argumentation for the study of Cognition can be a promising avenue to pursue. The paper presents the main problems and challenges in the area that would need to be addressed, both at the scientific level but also at the level of synthesis of ideas and approaches from the various disciplines involved.
