Guest Editorial Special Issue on Cognitive Internet of Things

摘要

Cognitive Internet of Things (IoT) is the use of cognitive computing technologies, which is derived from cognitive science and artificial intelligence, in combination with data generated by connected devices and the actions those devices can perform. Cognitive IoT provides high performance of communicating, computing, controlling, and even high degree of machine intelligence. Cognitive IoT redefines the relationship between human and their pervasive digital environment. They may play the role of assistant or coach for the user. Specifically, the IoT generated big data, when used to power predictive analytics algorithms or to develop a corps for a cognitive computing solution, can provide insights that would never be discovered in time to be useful if the departmental silos do not collaboration in data sensing and analysis. It is the integration of this data that enables cognitive computing applications for IoT of the next decade. Therefore, the services of a cognitive IoT could be constructive, prescriptive, or instructive in nature.
