Cognitive Engineering

This book explores the design issues of intelligent engineering systems. Beginning with the foundations of psychological modeling of the human mind, the main emphasis is given to parallel distributed realization of intelligent models for application in reasoning, learning, planning multi-agent co-ordination problems. Case studies on human-mood detection control, behavioral co-operation of mobile robots are provided. This is the 1st comprehensive text of its kind, bridging the gap between Cognitive Science Cognitive Systems Engineering.
Each chapter includes plenty of numerical examples exercises with sufficient hints, so that readers can solve the exercises on their own. Computer simulations are included in most chapters to give a clear idea about the application of the algorithms undertaken.
This book is unique in its theme contents - written with graduates in mind, it would also be a valuable resource for researchers in the fields Cognitive Science, Computer Science Cognitive Engineering.
