“…The notion of considerate systems proposed by Selker [24] is another systems engineering that is strongly coherent to Buddhist MP systems engineering. The philosophy behind considerate systems is that social understanding must be integrated in systems engineering.…”

Abstract-Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a transdisciplinary approach to the cognitive and information sciences, emphasising the informational aspects of cognitive processes, with applications in the engineering of complex systems. Human cognition is a transcultural phenomeon, however to date all contributions to CI have been based on Western philosophy and science. In this article, we indicate how some of the fundamental concepts in Buddhist epistemology may be modeled in the CI framework. In particular: we develop a logical specification, in the Z notation, of cognitive processes which occur at levels 1 through 4 of the Layered Reference Model of the Brain (LRMB). We call these processes the Dhammic Framework. As with any axiomatic system, the validity of the Dhammic Framework cannot be proved by experimentation; but it could be invalidated if any of its implications were either logically inconsistent or in disagreement with experimental observation. Our formal statement of the Dhammic Framework will allow its axioms to be tested, scientifically, for contradiction within the framework of cognitive informatics. To this end, we propose a testable hypothesis about a way to avoid failures in systems engineering.

“…The social context influences not only the interruptibility of a person, but also the appropriate modality of interruption [155]. Selker [162] claims that in the future the social situation will become the most important factor to be considered when delivering interruptions with mobile devices.…”

Lifestyle is a key determinant in the prevention and management of chronic diseases. If we would exercise regularly, eat healthy, control our weight, sleep enough, manage stress, not smoke and use alcohol only moderately, 90% of type II diabetes, 80% of coronary heart disease, and 70% of stroke could be prevented. Health statistics show that lifestyle related diseases are increasing at an alarming rate. Public health promotion campaigns and healthcare together are not effective enough to stop this "tsunami". The solution that is offered is to empower people to manage their health with the assistance of ICT-enabled services. A lot of R&D and engineering effort is being invested in Personal Health Systems. Although some progress has been made, the market for such systems has not yet emerged. The aim of this critical review is to identify the barriers which are holding back the growth of the market. It looks into the theoretical foundations of behavior change support, the maturity of the technologies for behavior change support, and the business context in which behavior change support systems are used.

Smart cities and smart homes are booming fields of development of pervasive systems. With the high stakes these systems have to manage, and their sheer complexity, anomalies have to be considered. In these complex systems are many connected components with computing capacities. They can manage anomalies, even if partially, and can act as some kind of expert systems. These expert systems can be relied upon to provide anomaly management. The complexity to manage generic expert systems brings us to suggest another approach. In this paper, the N-layers is discussed. It layers the various existing expert systems to organize them as a more generic expert system. It also aims to correct some difficulties to develop and integrate generic expert systems into various scales complex systems, such as smart cities or smart homes.
