The first connection system for modular underwater bio-inspired robots by S. Mintchev et.al
Posted on November 17, 2011 |IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2011), S. Francisco, California, September 2011. http://www.iros2011.org/WorkshopsAndTutorialsProceedings/SW9/iros_11_sw9_05_final.pdf This paper was exploited by the CoCoRo project. Adding modularity to robots involve both awareness aspects at the single module level, and self-awareness aspect at the ensemble level. This... -
Collective Perception in a Robot Swarm by T. Schmickl et. al
Posted on November 17, 2011 |Lecture Notes in Computer Science 4433 (2007), 144-157. http://zool33.uni-graz.at/artlife/node/27 This paper was exploited by the CoCoRo project. The “collective perception” is at the base of the awareness of a group of entities. Moreover, a collective action requires the awareness of the other participants in a... -
On Artificial Immune Systems and Swarm Intelligence by J. Timmis et al.
Posted on November 17, 2011 |Swarm Intelligence 4:247-273. DOI: 10.1007/s11721-010-0045-5 http://www.springerlink.com/content/ph870321605504m4/ This paper was exploited by the CoCoRo project. Artificial Immune Systems and Swarm Intelligence represent two interesting paradigms in the area of Awareness. This paper points out the common aspects of them but also their complementarity, which can be... -
An Interdisciplinary Perspective on Artificial Immune Systems by J. Timmis et al.
Posted on November 17, 2011 |Evolutionary Intelligence 1(1):5-26. (2008). http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/jtimmis/papers/evolintel2008.pdf This paper was exploited by the CoCoRo project. Artificial Immune Systems are presented here as much more than engineered systems inspired by the biological immune system. Since the auto immune system is related to self-awareness in the biological being, this... -
The Recognition Heuristic and the Less-Is-More Effect by D. G. Goldstein and G. Gigerenzer.
Posted on October 28, 2011 |In Handbook of Experimental Economics Results, vol. 1, Part 7, pp 987- 992, Elsevier, 2008. doi:10.1016/S1574-0722(07)00106-0 This paper was exploited by the RECOGNITION project. This paper associates the recognition heuristic with the “the less is more” effect, concerning the trade-off between effort and accuracy: less... -
Models of Ecological Rationality: The Recognition Heuristic by D. G. Goldstein and G. Gigerenzer.
Posted on October 28, 2011 |Psychological Review, 2002. DOI: 10.1037/0033-295X.109.1.75 This paper was exploited by the RECOGNITION project. Usually, heuristics are based on the principle “take the best, ignore the rest”. The recognition principle refined it and states the following: “If only one of the two objects is recognized, then... -
Human Heuristics for Autonomous Agents by Franco Bagnoli, Andrea Guazzini and Pietro Liò
Posted on October 28, 2011 |Bio-inspired computing and communication, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2008, Volume 5151/2008, 340-351. http://www.springerlink.com/content/k63k871712g006q2/ DOI: 10.1007/978-3-540-92191 2_30 This paper was exploited by the RECOGNITION project. Cognitive Heuristics are those strategies that guide information search and modify problem representations to facilitate and reach solutions. So, cognitive... -
User-Centred Time Geography for Location-Based Services. By Raubal, M. et al.
Posted on October 28, 2011 |Series B, Human Geography, 2004, 86, 245-265 DOI: 10.1111/j.0435-3684.2004.00166.x This paper was exploited by the RECOGNITION project. This paper proposes a theory combining classical time geography with an extended theory of affordances, in order to make location-based services aware of the user’s individual preferences, time... -
An Affordance-Based Model of Place in GIS by Jordan, T. et al.
Posted on October 28, 2011 |8th Int. Symposium on Spatial Data Handling, SDH, 1998, 98, 98-109 This paper was exploited by the RECOGNITION project. The awareness of the space where a system lives and the awareness of itself in that space are very important in particular in the context of... -
BDI-agents: From Theory to Practice by A.S. Rao, and M. P. Georgeff
Posted on October 28, 2011 |Proceedings of the First International Conference on Multiagent Systems (ICMAS’95), 1995. This paper was exploited by the RECOGNITION project. Being autonomous entities, software agents represent an interesting background for modeling, designing and implementing aware and self-aware systems. This paper proposed the Believe-Desire-Intention (BDI) model for...
