Health Informatics (HI) is a dynamic discipline based on the medical sciences, information sciences, and cognitive sciences. Its domain can broadly be defined as medical information management. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of this domain, discuss the current "state of the art," and indicate the likely growth areas for health informatics. The sources of information used in...

Biomedical informatics is a maturing discipline. During the last forty years, it has developed into a research discipline of significant scale and scope. One of its subdisciplines, dental informatics, is beginning to emerge as its own entity. While there is a growing cadre of trained dental informaticians, dental faculty and administrators in general are not very familiar with dental informatic...

Hypertext appears to be a powerful cognitive tool supporting knowledge construction. A study was conducted to determine whether or not collaborative hypertext affects learning outcomes in the learning of basic concepts in informatics. We organized two courses about the basics in informatics using collaborative hypertext (experimental groups). Simultaneously, we ran two courses without collabora...

Personal Informatics systems help people to collect personally relevant information for the purpose of self-reflection and self-knowledge. Moods and emotions are ones of the most complex data to gather, since a complete automation is impossible due to the need for a cognitive interpretation by the person. The goal of this paper is to present a novel Personal Informatics solution which overcomes...

Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a contemporary multidisciplinary field spanning across computer science, information science, cognitive science, brain science, intelligence science, knowledge science, cognitive linguistics, and cognitive philosophy. CI aims to investigate the internal information processing mechanisms and processes of the brain, the underlying abstract intelligence theories and d...

Written by leading experts in the field, this volume presents some of the latest advances in cognitive informatics and cognitive computing. The chapters are based on selected and refined papers from the In a world of chaotic alignments, traditional logic with its strict boundaries of truth and falsity has not imbued itself with the capability of reflecting the reality. Despite various attempts ...

Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a transdisciplinary enquiry of computer science, information sciences, cognitive science, and intelligence science that investigates into the internal information processing mechanisms and processes of the brain and natural intelligence, as well as their engineering applications in cognitive computing. The latest advances in CI leads to the establishment of cogniti...
