Computation and Cognition
The question, "What is Cognitive Science?" is often asked but seldom answered to anyone's satisfaction. Until now, most of the answers have come from the new breed of philosophers of mind. This book, however, is written by a distinguished psychologist and computer scientist who is well-known for his work on the conceptual foundations of cognitive science, and especially for his research on mental imagery, representation, and perception.In Computation and Cognition, Pylyshyn argues that computation must not be viewed as just a convenient metaphor for mental activity, but as a literal empirical hypothesis. Such a view must face a number of serious challenges. For example, it must address the question of "strong equivalents" of processes, and must empirically distinguish between phenomena which reveal what knowledge the organism has, phenomena which reveal properties of the biologically determined "functional architecture" of the mind. The principles and ideas Pylyshyn develops are applied to a number of contentious areas of cognitive science, including theories of vision and mental imagery. In illuminating such timely theoretical problems, he draws on insights from psychology, theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and psychology of mind.A Bradford Book

Uncomplicating AI
The inspiration for this book, 'Uncomplicating Artificial Intelligence: A Book for the Three Human Generations', was born out of family conversations, observing how the different generations managed to deal with technological changes and the speed with which they happened. This same observation was realised when one of the authors took part in courses at the University of California, Berkeley and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, with colleagues who were relatively accustomed to using new technologies but had very different comprehension skills. This guide steers clear of academic rigour, using a simple and practical structure to help those new to the world of AI. This book was mostly generated with the help of Artificial Intelligence as a structure and initial base text, and has undergone adjustments to the initial prompt and final draft, according to additional texts consulted by the authors and their previous academic and professional experience.

Sketching in Human Computer Interaction
Sketching is a universal activity that first appears when we play as children, but later, it is often overlooked as a useful skill in adult work - yet it can bring multiple benefits to research and practice in multiple domains. Specifically, Human Computer Interaction embraces interdisciplinary practices, and amongst those, sketching has proven to be a valuable addition to the skill set of researchers, practitioners, and educators in both academia and industry. Many individuals lack the confidence to take up pen and paper after years of non-practice, but it is possible to re-learn these lost skills, improve on them, and apply them in practical ways to all areas of work and research. This book takes the reader on an active journey in sketching: from scribbles and playful interpretations to hands-on practical applications in storyboarding, and further, in examining qualitative analysis using sketching practice in HCI. Readers will learn a wide range of techniques andapplied methods for utilizing sketching within the context of HCI, guided by the experienced authors, and join the larger community of those who employ (and enjoy) sketching in Human Computer Interaction.

Handbook of Inclusive Knowledge Management
Handbook of Inclusive Knowledge Management: Ensuring Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity in Knowledge Processing Activities examines the role that diversity, equity and inclusivity (DEI) plays in the field and discipline of knowledge management (KM). With the premise that DEI is the inclusion and equal treatment of all types of people, things and viewpoints, the book aims to increase awareness of DEI among KM practitioners and researchers. It is a starting point for adopting knowledge processing activities that ensure all knowledge voices are represented in knowledge creation and capture. The book explains how this valuable knowledge can be shared and disseminated so that there is equitable access as well as knowledge. The focus of this handbook is on inclusivity in KM, its current state, specific challenges and an exploration of the best path forward.Currently, inclusivity does not appear to be on many KM road maps, and this book provides insights into the state-of-the-art of inclusivity in KM. In alignment with the book's central theme, it presents a diverse range of perspectives that includes KM researchers, KM educators and KM practitioners. Addressing different stages of knowledge processing, as well as the KM bookends of KM culture, KM competencies and KM governance, the book features in-depth case studies to illustrate how inclusivity can be integrated into KM. The handbook concludes with concrete recommendations on how to integrate inclusivity into KM in organizations. Reviewing both the theory and practice of inclusive KM, the book helps readers gain actionable insights into an inclusive KM approach that includes standards, guidelines and checklists.

Realizing the Metaverse
A guide to the challenges in making virtual reality, reality The Metaverse, a version of the internet in which online interactions take place in real time within fully realized virtual spaces, has been promised as the next frontier in wireless communication. It has drawn huge investment from Silicon Valley and widespread media attention. However, the technologies required to make the Metaverse a reality are still in their infancy, and significant barriers must be overcome if this massive step is to be taken. Realizing the Metaverse provides a systematic overview of these challenges and their likely solutions. Focusing on five key areas--infrastructure, access, intelligence, security, and future developments--it offers one of the first comprehensive, formalized treatments of the Metaverse as a nascent reality. It promises to be an integral contribution to the future development of Metaverse technologies. Realizing the Metaverse readers will also find: An editorial team with extensive research experience in the field Detailed discussion of topics such as augmented reality (AR) adaptation, haptic feedback, artificial intelligence, and more Enlightening discussion of open questions and future prospects for researchRealizing the Metaverse is ideal for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in wireless technology, network communications, and related fields, as well as for researchers and industry professionals involved with the Metaverse or adjacent technologies.
