MobiTV and Visual Stimulation Imput for Personal Cognitive Performance by Lance Winslow
Stimulus thru Caffiene or Visual Input? It appears that the Mobi TV feature for Cell Phones may in fact have some positive Bio-advantages in that it exercises the brain thru visual stimulation. We know that visual input stimulates the brain. We know that there are significant peaks in brain wave... In the future as machine and man become one and rely on each other to accomplish tasks thru computer-human interfaces such crude devices as we are discussing here are a precept to the devices which will allow us to do more assisted and higher cognitive level thinking.

Executive Function Brain Injury by Janet Christian
As baby boomers we expect much from ourselves, the world around us, and especially technology. What I found was technology has not caught up with affects of a longer life has on the brain, life style, and medical awareness. With all of the new medications and attention to medical care, many... I never knew my glucose was low, I never had any warning signs -- I did not know anything was wrong until the lack of glucose was doing the damage to my brain at the molecular level. ... I was not in a car crash, hit my head, have a stroke or heart attack -- my brain injury was brought on by my blood...

Procurement Software by Alison Cole
The sales forecast is typically the starting point of a financial forecasting exercise. Procurement software plays a pivotal role in this regard. Most of the financial variables are projected in relation to the estimated level of sales. Hence, the accuracy of the financial forecast depends... These two stages constitute the cognitive field of the purchase process. ... Comprehension comes out of his ability to reason with information. ... The awareness and comprehension stages represent the information processing stage.

Theories Behind Magic Trinkets in Video Game and Virtual Reality by Lance Winslow
In Gaming we deal between Simulation, Augmented Reality, Fantasy and Virtual Reality. The best fantasy has some reality basis behind it. Trun your mind on for a second and let me explain. Having studied the ancient art and cultures and myths of ancient civilizations we know that many groups of... And yet it still emits a different radio frequency or electro-magnetic impulses which are pleasing to the human brain or assist the human brain in higher cognitive or different brain patterns producing what science is sure to pass off as silly phenomena and label the residents crack pots?

User Driven Modelling - Research Approach by Peter Hale
The intention for this research is to enable non-programmers to create software from a user interface that allows them to model a particular problem or scenario. This involves a user entering information visually in the form of a tree diagram. The aim is to develop ways of automatically... As the high level translation though this would depend on tools developed using lower level languages, this is why tools such as Protégé and DecisioPro (now called Vanguard Studio) (Vanguard Software, 2006) are used.

Agent Oriented Information Systems In Enterprises by Shazia Tabassum
Introduction The term “agent” has been used in AI & in cognitive science as a synonym for “intelligent systems”. Over the past few years, researchers in various fields of computer science have adopted this term as a common abstraction that subsumes several important research issues. ... A formal agent concept for the purpose of representing agents in information systems may abstract away from many of the higher-level cognitive aspects of agents. ... Thus, ER modeling & UML support the design of object-oriented information systems realized with the help of relational & object-oriented...

Hmework - A Key to Improvement in Mathematics Education by Janet Tedesco
Introduction The United States has a serious problem in mathematics education. Test results show that beginning in middle school, the United States student proficiency declines in comparison with other developed countries throughout the world to near the bottom by 12th grade [PISA]. ... Thus, improving homework completion at the secondary level may be a significant opportunity for US math proficiency improvement at that level. ... The researchers suggest that the reduced cognitive load allows the students to process the underlying similarity of problems and integrate the methodology with...

Enabling User Driven Modelling by Peter Hale
Research Summary The intention of this research is to enable non-programmers to create software from a user interface that allows them to model a particular problem or scenario. This involves people entering information visually in the form of a tree diagram. ... Visualization and the process of modeling: a cognitive-theoretic view. ... These tools are written by developers using lower level languages, in order to enable modelling by end-user modellers. ... These intermediate steps are expensive in terms of time, cost, and level of misunderstanding.

Report onthe Growth & Economic Impact of the IT Industry 1940-2010 by Annie McCormick
The U.S. Information Technology Industry 1940-2000 Summary All segments that comprise the information technology industry (computers, telecommunications, and software and services) have played a major role in the transformation of the U.S. economy. The computer was commercially introduced in the... This drive to innovate is ongoing and will give us a new generations of microprocessors, which are ten-times faster as today's, and memory chips with 40 times the storage capacity, grid computing and high productivity computing (network embedded and cognitive computing systems), photonics,...

End-User Programming Using the Semantic Web by Peter Hale
This article outlines future research that is required for the advancement of representation, search, and visualization of information, and at recent and future developments in the use and representation of taxonomies and ontologies, and visualization tools that can aid in their use. ... Addressing cognitive issues in knowledge engineering with Jambalaya. ... Visualization and the process of modeling: a cognitive-theoretic view. ... This approach should involve developers creating software systems that enable users to perform high level programming, and model the problem for which they are...
