Novel Approaches in Cognitive Informatics and Natural Intelligence

Creating a link between a number of natural science and life science disciplines, the emerging field of cognitive informatics presents a transdisciplinary approach to the internal information processing mechanisms and processes of the brain and natural intelligence.
Novel Approaches in Cognitive Informatics and Natural Intelligence penetrates the academic field to offer the latest advancements in cognitive informatics and natural intelligence. This book covers the five areas of cognitive informatics, natural intelligence, autonomic computing, knowledge science, and relevant development, to provide researchers, academicians, students, and practitioners with a ready reference to the latest findings.

Yingxu Wang is a Professor of Cognitive Informatics and Software Engineering and Director of Theoretical and Empirical Software Engineering Research Center (TESERC) at the University of Calgary. He received a PhD in Software Engineering from The Nottingham Trent University, UK, in 1997, and a BSc in Electrical Engineering from Shanghai Tiedao University in 1983.
