Synergies Between CogInfoCom and Other Fields

  • Chapter
Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)

Abstract

In this chapter, several key points of synergy are discussed from the perspective of existing research fields relevant to the merging process between humans and ICT. It is important to emphasize that while all of these fields have their own motivations and unique set of methodologies, they also incorporate some aspect, or some future potential that makes them relevant to the use and support of cognitive capabilities in infocommunications. In this chapter, we aim to focus primarily on such aspects. However, partly due to the fact that the information concept underlying CogInfoCom—as discussed earlier in Sect. 2.3.3—focuses on functionally relevant by-products of interaction rather than exclusively on the transfer of explicit knowledge, it will not always be possible to draw a clear line between what is relevant and what is not. Nevertheless, those aspects that are already clearly relevant to CogInfoCom are presented in some detail. Modes of usage which focus on long-term co-evolution rather than “episodic” interactions are of particular interest.

Notes

  1. 1.

    These aspects are strongly relevant to socio-cognitive ICT, a field that was inspired by CogInfoCom as described in Sect. 5.3.

  2. 2.

    http://www.pnl.gov/coginformatics.

  3. 3.

    This means that rather than seeing IoT as a network of objects, it can regarded as humans and objects that matter to them.

  4. 4.

    Through the human aspect, other domains such as affective computing and body area networks—when used for infocommunication purposes—also become particularly relevant.
