Ogiela L., Ogiela M.R. Advances in Cognitive Information Systems

Springer, 2012, -130 p.The progress in computer science is now mainly achieved by scientific circles and constitutes a kind of indicator of the position of centres dealing with this area. This is because nowadays one cannot talk of highly developed scientific units, economic growth or world-class achievements in various disciplines of knowledge if one does not conduct research in computer science (whether technical or mathematical). The development of computer science is now so rapid that we, the readers, increasingly receive technology news about new solutions and applications which very often straddle the border between the real and the virtual worlds. Computer science is also the area in which cognitive science is witnessing a renaissance, because its combination with technical sciences has given birth to a broad scientific discipline called cognitive informatics. And it is this discipline which has become the main theme of this monograph, which is also to serve as a kind of guide to cognitive informatics problems.
This book is the result of work on systems for the cognitive analysis and interpretation of various data. The purpose of such an analytical approach is to show that for an in-depth analysis of data, the layers of semantics contained in these sets must be taken into account.
This approach to this subject was made possible by work to combine the subjects of intelligent information systems and the cognitive aspects of the human analysis process. The interdisciplinary nature of the solutions proposed means that the subject of cognitive systems forming part of cognitive informatics becomes a new challenge for the research and application work carried out.
The authors of this monograph hope that it will guide Readers on an interesting and accurate journey through the intricacies of information and cognitive science. Thus it may make us, when we look at the world around us, wonder (sometimes jocularly) whether we have really got to know it, whether we understand it, and whether we will ever be able to accurately and unanimously (avoiding contradictions) explain what happens around us.Beginnings of Cognitive Science
