CogInfoCom-Driven Research Areas

In this chapter, an overview is provided of the research areas of CogInfoCom channels, speechability and socio-cognitive ICT—all three of which have recently emerged under CogInfoCom (further recent initiatives are presented in the following chapter). CogInfoCom channels focus on how multi-sensory messages between cognitive entities can be structured in such a way that semantic meaning can be effectively interpreted; while speechability and socio-cognitive ICT address various aspects of linguistic and social tangleactions in geographically and temporally distributed cognitive networks. The second half of the chapter briefly presents research efforts and results that are representative of these areas and have appeared at CogInfoCom conferences and special issues.
