Chapters

Section 1

Chapter 1

A Cognitive Informatics Reference Model of Autonomous Agent Systems (AAS) (pages 1-16)

Yingxu Wang

Despite the fact that the origin of software agent systems has been rooted in autonomous artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology, their implementations are still based on conventional imperative computing techniques rather...

Chapter 2

Autonomic Agent Systems: Categorical Models and Behaviors (pages 17-37)

Phan Cong Vinh

A new computing paradigm is currently on the spot: interaction based on series of actions. Most of autonomic agent systems (AASs) exploit this type of interaction to self-adjust their autonomous behaviors as a fundamental operational...

Chapter 3

Concept of Symbiotic Computing and its Agent-based Application to a Ubiquitous Care-Support Service (pages 38-59)

Takuo Suganuma, Kenji Sugawara, Tetsuo Kinoshita, Fumio Hattori, Norio Shiratori

In this paper, a concept of “symbiotic computing” is formalized to bridge gaps between Real Space (RS) and Digital Space (DS). Symbiotic computing is a post-ubiquitous computing model based on an agent-oriented computing model that...

Chapter 4

Repository-Based Multiagent Framework for Developing Agent Systems (pages 60-79)

Takahiro Uchiya, Hideki Hara, Kenji Sugawara, Tetsuo Kinoshita

Agent systems have been designed and developed using recent agent technologies. However, design and debugging of these systems remain as difficult tasks of designers because agents have situational and nondeterministic...

Chapter 5

An Agent System to Manage Knowledge in CoPs (pages 80-98)

This paper proposes a multi-agent architecture and a trust model with which to foster the reuse of information in organizations which use knowledge bases or knowledge management systems. The architecture and the model have been...

Chapter 6

Dynamic Negotiation Mechanism for Improving Service Quality for Replicas in Data Grids (pages 99-114)

Ghalem Belalem

In order not to be limited in term of calculation, storage and communication, the concept of grid, which does not cease evolving, makes it possible to offer a practical operation of work unified as well as a great storage and...

Section 2

Chapter 7

Ambient Intelligence on the Dance Floor (pages 116-133)

Magy Seif El-Nasr, Athanasios V. Vasilakos

With the evolution of intelligent devices, sensors, and ambient intelligent systems, it is not surprising to see many research projects starting to explore the design of intelligent artifacts in the area of art and technology; these...

Chapter 8

Kansei Experience: Aesthetic, Emotions and Inner Balance (pages 134-151)

Ben Salem, Ryohei Nakatsu, Matthias Rauterberg

We propose that Information and Communication Technology should deliver a new experience to the user. We call this experience Kansei Experience. To deliver it we advocate the reliance on a new computing paradigm called cultural...

Chapter 9

IPML: Structuring Distributed Multimedia Presentations in Ambient Intelligent Environments (pages 152-176)

Jun Hu, Loe Feijs

This paper addresses issues of distributing multimedia presentations in an ambient intelligent environment, examines the existing technologies and proposes IPML, a markup language that extends SMIL for distributed settings. It uses a...

Chapter 10

Adaptive Multiplayer Ubiquitous Games: Design Principles and an Implementation Framework (pages 177-200)

Chen Yan, Stéphane Natkin

One of the goals of ubiquitous computing technologies is to provide an adaptable and personal content at any time and in any context. As a consequence a user-centered design is required. The goal of this research is to develop new...

Chapter 11

Formal Descriptions of Cognitive Processes of Perceptions on Spatiality, Time, and Motion (pages 201-213)

Yingxu Wang

Recent researches in both cognitive informatics and computational intelligence are interested in the human perceptual senses of spatiality, time, and motion, which are fundamental cognitive life functions according to the Layered...

Section 3

Chapter 12

The Cognitive Informatics Theory and Mathematical Models of Visual Information Processing in the Brain (pages 215-224)

Yingxu Wang

It is recognized that the internal mechanisms for visual information processing are based on semantic inferences where visual information is represented and processed as visual semantic objects rather than direct images or episode...

Chapter 13

Comparing Learning Methods (pages 225-238)

Mercedes Hidalgo-Herrero, Ismael Rodríguez, Fernando Rubio

In this article we perform some experiments to study how an automatic system learns a set of rules from its interaction with an artificial environment. In particular, we are interested in comparing these capabilities to the skills...

Chapter 14

Classification of Breast Masses in Mammograms Using Radial Basis Functions and Simulated Annealing (pages 239-249)

Rafael do Espírito Santo, Roseli de Deus Lopes, Rangaraj M. Rangayyan

We present pattern classification methods based upon nonlinear and combinational optimization techniques, specifically, radial basis functions (RBF) and simulated annealing (SA), to classify masses in mammograms as malignant or...

Chapter 15

Advances in the Quotient Space Theory and its Applications (pages 250-261)

Liquan Zhao, Ling Zhang

Quotient space theory (QST), a new granule computing tool dealing with imprecise, incomplete and uncertain knowledge, uses a triplet, including the universe, its structure and attributes, to describe a problem space or simply a...

Chapter 16

Important Attributes Selection Based on Rough Set for Speech Emotion Recognition (pages 262-271)

Jian Zhou, Guoyin Wang, Yong Yang

Speech emotion recognition is becoming more and more important in such computer application fields as health care, children education, etc. In order to improve the prediction performance or providing faster and more cost-effective...

Chapter 17
