CTS AND INTELLIGENT AGENTS
Collaborative systems include multiple interacting intelligent agents
a human, machine, device or software code
Agents are
significantly autonomous and goal-oriented, perform various functions, and communicate with other agents
equipped with sensors or collect data, receive communications, extracts information
use existing knowledge, integrate new information into producing new knowledge, send communications
embody the concept of life and intelligence
INTELLIGENT AGENT TECHNOLOGIES
Interfaces and access
man-machine and machine-machine interfaces
knowledge and data access
Understanding of
language, situations, and environment
Fusion
knowledge and data from diverse sources and disciplines,
Decision making
heterogeneous environment, with inaccurate data, uncertain knowledge and intuitions
information exchange, knowledge management
LANGUAGE AND THINKINGFUTURE
Thinking and understanding
identify “concepts” of objects, relationships and situation in sensory data
relate concepts to needs and emotions
relate concepts to behavior
Language is a part of mind
involved in concepts, emotions, instincts
closest to concepts
words are combined into phrases like retinal signals are combined into objects (?)
Where language and thoughts come together?
Concepts? Not logical rules and artificial intelligence again?
REASONS FOR PAST LIMITATIONS
The basis of human intelligence is in combining conceptual understanding with emotional evaluation
became exceedingly well appreciated among psychologists and neurobiologists during the last ten years
human understanding without emotional involvement is basically flawed [Damasio]
This new understanding has not been accepted by mathematical and engineering community
mathematical laws governing emotional involvement into thinking process have not been well known
there is a long-standing cultural belief that emotions are opposite to thinking and intellectually inferior
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle
reiterated by founders of Artificial Intelligence
