Emerging Computing Concepts: a research program with Université Paris I - La Sorbonne

WASHINGTON, DC, 9 April 2007 – The Center for Advanced Defense Studies is proud to announce a new joint research initiative between its Institute of Mathematics Complexity and Cognition (MC2) and the Centre de Recherches en Informatique (CRI, Computer Science Research Center) at the Université Paris I - La Sorbonne.

Dedicated to accelerating efforts in advanced and emerging computing concepts, the Cognitive Computing Engine (CO2E) framework tackles new theories and models of computing, especially cognitive computing and quantum computing. Directed by Drs. Colette Rolland and Newton Howard, the initiative aims to develop a computational theory of intentional systems. CO2E supplements existing computing models with cognitive attributes.

Dedicated to the study of mathematics, complexity, physics and human cognition, MC2 provides a collaborative research environment to better analyze and understand concepts, such as intentionality, rationality, agency, reflexion, emergence and complexity, in both natural and artificial settings.
