Advances in the Fields of Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing

  • Chapter
Book cover Advances in Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 323))

Abstract

This chapter explores the cutting-edge field of cognitive informatics (CI) and its applications in cognitive computing. CI is a transdisciplinary study of cognitive and information sciences, which investigates the internal information processing mechanisms and processes of the natural intelligence – human brains and minds – and their engineering applications in computational intelligence. The 7th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Informatics (ICCI 2008) has been organized at Stanford University during August 14-16, 2008. The ICCI’08 program covers a wide spectrum of subjects that contribute to cognitive informatics and cognitive computing. This chapter highlights the latest advances in CI and cognitive computing presented in ICCI’08. The theoretical framework and applications of CI and cognitive computing are described. A set of selected papers from ICCI’08 is introduced.
