Educational software applications may be more effective if they can adapt their teaching strategies to the needs of individual students. Individualisation may be achieved through student modelling, which is the main practice for Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). In this paper, we show how principles of cognitive psychology have been adapted and incorporated into the student modelling componen...

This chapter describes the case study carried out at the Centre of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) at Universität Bielefeld. The aim is to provide a representative example of a research institution in the wider field of information and communications technology (ICT), with a specific focus on cognitive interaction and robotics engineering. After a brief introduction to the g...

Biomolecular systems that can process information are sought for computational applications, because of their potential for parallelism and miniaturization and because their biocompatibility also makes them suitable for future biomedical applications. DNA has been used to design machines, motors, finite automata, logic gates, reaction networks and logic programs, amongst many other structures a...

Computational explanations focus on information processing tasks of specific cognitive capacities. In this paper, we argue that there are at least two different kinds of computational explanations; the interlevel and the intralevel ones. Moreover, it will be argued that neither interlevel nor intralevel computational explanations can be subsumed under the banner of standard mechanistic explanat...

cognitive deficits such as impairments in attention, memory, information processing and executive functioning can be found in some parkinson's disease (pd) patients. recent studies suggested that pd drivers generally performed poorer than their healthy age-matched controls with regards to their cognitive and motor abilities during the psychometric testing. according to michon’s model of ca...

Beyond 3G (B3G) wireless connectivity can efficiently be realized by exploiting cognitive networking concepts. Cognitive systems dynamically reconfigure the Radio Access Technologies (RATs) and the spectrum they use, based on experience, in order to adapt to the changing environment conditions. However, dynamic reconfiguration decisions call for robust discovery, i.e. radio-scene analysis and c...

Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a discipline spanning across computer science, information science, cognitive science, brain science, intelligence science, knowledge science, and cognitive linguistics. CI aims to investigate the internal information processing mechanisms and processes of the brain, the underlying abstract intelligence theories and denotational mathematics, and their engineering a...

Literature examining information judgments and Internet search behaviors notes a number ofmajor research gaps, including how users actually make these judgments outside of experiments or researcher-defined tasks, and how search behavior is impacted by a user’s judgment of online information. Using the medical setting, where doctors face real consequences in applying the information found, we ex...

The contemporary wonder of sciences and engineering has recently refocused on the beginning point of: how the brain processes internal and external information autonomously and cognitively rather than imperatively like conventional computers. Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a transdisciplinary enquiry of computer science, information sciences, cognitive science, and intelligence science that inve...
