From Philosophy and Mental-Models to Semantic Desktop research: Theoretical Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines issues on Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cognitive Science and Mental Models. The paper provides a philosophical grounding for the researchers in Personal Information Management (PIM). An overview is given on various philosophical aspects of computer-based activities. Discussions on the theories relevant to understand the goals for the Semantic Desktop community are elicited. Philosophical theories are not immediately transparent to the programmers, but the ideas discussed here are intended to emphasize a theoretical foundation, with respect to Semantic Desktop long term goals. The goal of this paper is to examine the theories of Philosophy and to provide a conceptual idea to design user-intuitive Semantic Desktops. The paper tries to induce scientific curiosity among the Semantic Desktop researchers as well as to develop the future Semantic Desktops to realize Weak AI.

A Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....

متن کاملAn Overview of Information Management and Knowledge Work Studies: Lessons for the Semantic Desktop
Several recent initiatives aim to provide a Memex-inspired semantic desktop that would integrate with or replace our current physical and electronic desktop. For these semantic desktop initiatives to succeed, we need to consider how people organise their work and use their desktop. If we do not consider this existing work, the semantic desktop might very well suffer from the low adoption rate t...
متن کاملThe Semantic Desktop as a foundation for PIM research
Personal Information Management (PIM), both in science and in applications, is limited by the current approach to data management (files) and applications. The Semantic Web and the Resource Description Framework (RDF) provide a standardized way to represent data, across applications and capture the respective application semantics. In recent years we have developed the Semantic Desktop approach...
