(2018): Cognitive assistants. In: International Journal of Human-Computer Studies 117, S. 1-3. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijhcs.2018.05.008
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhcs.2018.05.008 Abstract: The article presents the most recent advances in the field of cognitive assistants (CA). These days CA technology is being extended to what is sometimes called 'smart advisors', which provide a universal human-centric computer information solution. Smart advisors combine generic decision support techniques with context-awareness and personalized recommendation using machine learning. They aim to help people in their daily activities in a general sense. Today, a number of prototypes of such systems exist. Some of them are well integrated into online services, as well as mobile devices. Others are embedded into dedicated robot prototypes, often oriented on care taking. Recently a more general concept of companion technologies has been introduced. The articles contained in this special issue are very heterogeneous in terms of scope, region and are by people that are a reference in this field. Five articles compose this Special Issue, and they are distributed globally, with contributions from the following countries: Germany, New Zealand, Spain, Taiwan, and United States of America. This shows the interest of academia in the CA area and the level of development that is currently underway, and provide different perspectives related to their own culture.
