To understand animal wellbeing, we need to consider subjective phenomena and
sentience. This is challenging, since these properties are private and cannot be observed …

Organisms have evolved to trade priorities across various needs, such as growth, survival,
and reproduction. In naturally complex environments this incurs high computational costs …

A recently developed Functional Modeling Framework suggests that all models of cognition
can be represented by a minimally reducible set of functions, and proposes to define the …

In this paper, we introduce the Cognitive Systems Toolkit (CST) and its underlying CST
Reference Cognitive Architecture. CST is a general toolkit for the construction of cognitive …

In the last decade, the market of Internet of Things has become quite disruptive, together

In this article, a concise argument for computational rationality as a basis for artificial moral
agency is advanced. Some ethicists have long argued that rational agents can become …

One of the objectives of Artificial General Intelligence is to propose programs to solve tasks
similarly to the way human beings do. The associative memory plays an essential role in the …

There are many cognitive architectures available nowadays, and each architecture has its
own different mechanisms. Therefore, we need to identify the advantages and …
