In this article we are investigating the computers development process in the past decades in order to identify the factors that influence it the most. We describe such factors and use them to predict the direction of further development.…

This paper presents a forward-looking vision for artificial intelligence-driven software architecture that addresses longstanding challenges in design and evolution. Although artificial intelligence has achieved notable success in software…

Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has renewed interest in building systems that learn and think like people. Many advances have come from using deep neural networks trained end-to-end in tasks such as object recognition, video…

This paper introduces abstractions that are meaningful for computers and that can be built and used according to computers' own criteria, i.e., computable abstractions. It is analyzed how abstractions can be seen to serve as the building…

It has been a long time that computer architecture and systems are optimized for efficient execution of machine learning (ML) models. Now, it is time to reconsider the relationship between ML and systems, and let ML transform the way that…

Analysing 88 sources published from 2011 to 2021, this paper presents a first systematic review of the computer vision-based analysis of buildings and the built environments to assess its value to architectural and urban design studies.…

Cognitive engineering is a multi-disciplinary field and hence it is difficult to find a review article consolidating the leading developments in the field. The in-credible pace at which technology is advancing pushes the boundaries of what…

This paper presents an overview of the main trends in processor architecture. It starts with an analysis of the past evolution of processors and the main driving forces behind it, and then it focuses on a description of the main…

Formal analysis to ensure adherence of software to defined architectural constraints is not yet broadly used within software development, due to the effort involved in defining formal architecture models. Within this paper, we outline…

The article provides an overview of approaches to modeling the human psyche in the perspective of building an artificial one. Based on the review, a concept of cognitive architecture is proposed, where the psyche is considered as an…

Generating realistic building layouts for automatic building design has been studied in both the computer vision and architecture domains. Traditional approaches from the architecture domain, which are based on optimization techniques or…

We have recently begun a project to develop a more effective and efficient way to marshal inferences from background knowledge to facilitate deep natural language understanding. The meaning of a word is taken to be the entities,…

This article addresses an open problem in the area of cognitive systems and architectures: namely the problem of handling (in terms of processing and reasoning capabilities) complex knowledge structures that can be at least plausibly…

Over the past two decades, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become an underlying concept to a variety of solutions and technologies that it is now hardly possible to enumerate and describe all of them. The concept behind the Internet of…

The mid-1990s saw the design of programming languages for software architectures, which define the high-level aspects of software systems including how code components were composed to form full systems. Our paper "Abstractions for Software…

Recent developments in machine learning have pushed the tasks that machines can do outside the boundaries of what was thought to be possible years ago. Methodologies such as deep learning or generative models have achieved complex tasks…

Converting the city into a "smart" one is the emerging strategy of alleviating the problems generated by the rapid population growth in most urban areas, i.e., urbanisation. However, as the rate in which the different concepts of the smart…

The aim of this short paper is to summarize my recent preprint (arXiv:1209.1112), in which I proposed a novel and probably controversial view about cognitive mapping; that is, the image of the city out of the underlying scaling of city…

By way of explaining how a brain works logically, human associative memory is modeled with logical and memory neurons, corresponding to standard digital circuits. The resulting cognitive architecture incorporates basic psychological…

Attention is a cornerstone of human cognition that facilitates the efficient extraction of information in everyday life. Recent developments in artificial intelligence like the Transformer architecture also incorporate the idea of attention…
