Abstract
In this chapter, a description of the scope and goals of CogInfoCom is provided. This is followed by an overview of novel concepts—such as those of mode and type of communication, as well as the more general notion of cognitive capability—which have emerged through the field. Further, a set of assumptions, primarily founded on the existence and consequences of the merging process between humans and ICT, are described in terms of their relevance to CogInfoCom research.

Notes
- 1.
As we will see, in many cases this separation between natural and artificial is no longer meaningful.
- 2.
“A temporary absence or suspension of breathing, or shallow breathing, while doing email” (Stone 2011).
- 3.
- 4.
An important characteristic of emergent phenomena is that they cannot be analyzed in a reductionist manner, by separating them into the parts from which they are constituted (Deacon 2011).
- 5.
Of course, from the perspective of an application designer, implementation details will always be important.
