System Engineering, for a Cognitive Sciences Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
This article proposes to throw some light on the strong relationship between Cognitive Science and System Engineering. In the same manner that Herbert Simon justified hierarchical organizations with the argument that individuals had “bounded rationality”, this article tries to show that most of our System Engineering processes are techniques to compensate for our cognitive boundaries. Practical implications for SE justification and SE education are discussed.

متن کاملSpectrum Assignment in Cognitive Radio Networks Using Fuzzy Logic Empowered Ants
The prevalent communications networks suffer from lack of spectrum and spectrum inefficiency. This has motivated researchers to develop cognitive radio (CR) as a smart and dynamic radio access promised solution. A major challenge to this new technology is how to make fair assignment of available spectrum to unlicensed users, particularly for smart grids communication. This paper introduces an i...
