Focus On: Technical Committee on Awareness Computing
Scope The goal of awareness computing (AC) is to build systems that are aware. Awareness may not imply full understanding, cybernetics, or intelligence. Awareness is the state or ability to perceive, to feel, or to be conscious. It implies vigilance in observing or alertness in drawing inferences from what one experiences. Compared with artificial intelligence…
