Socio-cognitive describes integrated cognitive and social properties of systems, processes, functions, models, as well as can indicate the branch of science, engineering or technology, such as socio-cognitive research, socio-cognitive interactions. This term is especially used when complex cognitive and social properties are reciprocally connected and essential for a given problem.

Socio-cognitive engineering (SCE) is a set of theoretical frameworks, methodologies, methods and software tools for the design of human-centered technologies. Another emergent branch of SCE relates to human-based and intelligence-based socio-technological systems. It deals with the modeling of human organization vulnerabilities, organization crisis and their interdependences using general engineering paradims.

Both above approaches are applicable for the identification and design of a computer-based semi-/proto-Intelligent Decision Support Systems (IDSS) for the operators and managers of large socially critical systems, for high-risk tasks, such as different types of emergency and disaster management, where human errors and lack of efficacy can be the cause of serious losses.
