In the 21st century, informatics systems are ubiquitous. Therefore, the author presents an educational model for competencies with respect to informatics systems (Chapter 1). To achieve such competencies at upper secondary level, observable behaviour, internal structure and implementation aspects of informatics systems have to be analysed by students. Based on a definition of the terms competen...

Approximately 50% of hospitalized elders have cognitive impairment (CI) that increases their vulnerability to hospital-acquired complications. Matching geriatric evaluation and recommendations to the true pace of hospital care may improve the care of elders in general, in particular those with CI. Integrating information technology into geriatric services (gero-informatics) might allow reductio...

Cognitive radio networks enable ubiquitous communications both in frequency and time domain, and hence enable opportunistic pervasive communications. Multi-hop cognitive radio networks are appealing to the researchers due to their wide range of application potential in commercial, emergency communication, and military tactical networks. However, the multi-hop nature of the network coupled with ...

Several applications of cognitive informatics are coupled with automatic acquisition and processing of data and images for recognition and classification. There are many algorithms with wide-ranging performance in pattern recognition. A computer recognizes a character as a pattern from its digital image or from a set of parameters picked from its digital representation. This paper explores an o...

The theme of this issue of IJCINI is on Theories and Paradigms of Autonomic Computing. This editorial addresses key notions of this issue on the theoretical framework of autonomic computing as well as implementation and application paradigms of autonomic computing. It presents the structure and coverage of this issue, and highlights the latest advances in cognitive informatics in general and in...

An intriguing educational approach, learning by teaching, was applied in the course of Dental Informatics. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect that teaching expectancy (preparation to teach) and actually teaching have on skills and knowledge that students are expected to acquire during the course. In order to assess the applicability of this method to various forms of educationa...
