A design of cognitive agents for recognizing real space — towards symbiotic computing —

Abstract

The growth of the ubiquitous computing and the Web computing is expected to make the internet society more convenient. Furthermore, intelligence of information systems is also expected to make our society safer and more content. The symbiotic computing is a technology to introduce symbiotic relations between users and computing systems by installing a function to recognize the important and relevant aspects in the real space into computing systems, using Ubiquitous computing and Web computing.We have developed various symbiotic applications that have practical use in our society, based on the concept of the symbiotic computing. In this paper, we propose a design of cognitive agents to enhance the cognitive function for symbiotic applications to recognize the real space. We call this cognitive agent as symbiotic agent which is included in our proposed symbiotic functions to establish symbiotic computing.

The design of awareness and operation module for the symbiotic applications

“…The original figure was shown in [8]. The symbiotic application communicates a user interface, actuator, sensor network, web object and web services to achieve a user's request based on user's declaration or user's undeclared request which was inferred by the symbiotic application.…”

“…The symbiotic application communicates a user interface, actuator, sensor network, web object and web services to achieve a user's request based on user's declaration or user's undeclared request which was inferred by the symbiotic application. In the paper [8] was described functional model of the symbiotic application and its module functions.…”

“…CONCEPT OF SYMBIOTIC APPLICATION The concept of symbiotic application was defined in an article [8] at the ICCI'08. A symbiotic application is a conventional application logic based on the concept of symbiotic computing.…”

Sitting Posture Recognition and Location Estimation for Human-Aware Environment

“…The purpose of Symbiotic Computing is mainly to develop flexible information service or application as well as to establish the next generation information platform based on multi-agent framework (Suganuma et al, 2009;Sugawara et al, 2008). In addition, a specific characteristic of Symbiotic Computing is to aim at establishment of 'Mutual Cognition' between RS and DS.…”

Remote Conversation Support for People with Aphasia

“…It is developed to achieve an information processing environment as an interaction between humans and computers as well as fundamental issues in human perception and cognition. Sugawara et al (2008) mentioned that it is a methodology that can be realized by integrating three functions such as Ubiquitous/Network functions, the Web Functions and the Symbiotic Functions. Symbiotic computing is formal to bridge an e-Gap between Real Space (RS) and Digital Space (DS) as bringing the social heuristics and cognitive functions into DS .…”
