Abstract

The problem of understanding intelligence is treated, by some prominent researchers, as the greatest problem of this century. In this article we justify that a decision support systems to be intelligent there is a need for developing new reasoning tools which can take into account the significance of the processes of sensory measurement, experience and perception about the concerned situations; i.e., understanding the process of perceiving a situation is also required for making relevant decisions. We discuss how such reasoning, called adaptive judgment, can be performed over objects interacting in the physical world using Interactive Granular Computing Model (IGrC). The basic objects in IGrC are called the complex granules (c-granules, for short). A c-granule is designed to link the abstract and physical worlds and to realize the paths of judgments starting from sensory measurement, experience to perception. Some c-granules are extended by information layers, called informational c-granules (ic-granules, for short); they can create the basis for modeling a notion of control conducting the whole process of computation over the c-granules.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The case when some ic-granules from configuration have their own control will be considered elsewhere.

  2. 2.

    This decomposition process is related to information granulation and the Computing with Words paradigm introduced by Lotfi Zadeh [20] as well as to the challenge discussed by Judea Pearl in [13].

  3. 3.

    In [6] this example is elaborated using c-granules without informational layers where encoding information from soft_suit is made by an external observer.
