Developmental Proposal of a Generic Architecture for Cognitive Internet of Things

Abstract

Cognitive science is developing in a faster pace and finding applications in science and technology. A cognitive network is a communication network that uses cognitive processes to understand present situations, make decisions based on its findings and take feedback from those decisions to take corrective actions. Cognitive computing uses computer models for simulating the human thought process. The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of "Things" which are networked for computation to take actions accordingly. The development of a cognitive network as well as that of cognitive computing can lead to the development of IoT that is cognitive. In this paper, we propose an architecture for cognitive IoT that is derived from cognitive network and cognitive computing.
