20 Years of Evolution from Cognitive to Intelligent Communications
It has been 20 years since the concept of cognitive radio (CR) was proposed,
which is an efficient approach to provide more access opportunities to connect
massive wireless devices. To improve the spectrum efficiency, CR enables
unlicensed usage of licensed spectrum resources. It has been regarded as the
key enabler for intelligent communications. In this article, we will provide an
overview on the intelligent communication in the past two decades to illustrate
the revolution of its capability from cognition to artificial intelligence
(AI). Particularly, this article starts from a comprehensive review of typical
spectrum sensing and sharing, followed by the recent achievements on the
AI-enabled intelligent radio. Moreover, research challenges in the future
intelligent communications will be discussed to show a path to the real
deployment of intelligent radio. After witnessing the glorious developments of
CR in the past 20 years, we try to provide readers a clear picture on how
intelligent radio could be further developed to smartly utilize the limited
spectrum resources as well as to optimally configure wireless devices in the
future communication systems.Comment: The paper has been accepted by IEEE Transactions on Cognitive

Factors shaping the evolution of electronic documentation systems
The main goal is to prepare the space station technical and managerial structure for likely changes in the creation, capture, transfer, and utilization of knowledge. By anticipating advances, the design of Space Station Project (SSP) information systems can be tailored to facilitate a progression of increasingly sophisticated strategies as the space station evolves. Future generations of advanced information systems will use increases in power to deliver environmentally meaningful, contextually targeted, interconnected data (knowledge). The concept of a Knowledge Base Management System is emerging when the problem is focused on how information systems can perform such a conversion of raw data. Such a system would include traditional management functions for large space databases. Added artificial intelligence features might encompass co-existing knowledge representation schemes; effective control structures for deductive, plausible, and inductive reasoning; means for knowledge acquisition, refinement, and validation; explanation facilities; and dynamic human intervention. The major areas covered include: alternative knowledge representation approaches; advanced user interface capabilities; computer-supported cooperative work; the evolution of information system hardware; standardization, compatibility, and connectivity; and organizational impacts of information intensive environments
Mapping Big Data into Knowledge Space with Cognitive Cyber-Infrastructure
Big data research has attracted great attention in science, technology,
industry and society. It is developing with the evolving scientific paradigm,
the fourth industrial revolution, and the transformational innovation of
technologies. However, its nature and fundamental challenge have not been
recognized, and its own methodology has not been formed. This paper explores
and answers the following questions: What is big data? What are the basic
methods for representing, managing and analyzing big data? What is the
relationship between big data and knowledge? Can we find a mapping from big
data into knowledge space? What kind of infrastructure is required to support
not only big data management and analysis but also knowledge discovery, sharing
and management? What is the relationship between big data and science paradigm?
What is the nature and fundamental challenge of big data computing? A
multi-dimensional perspective is presented toward a methodology of big data
computing.Comment: 59 page
