Lightning Talk: The New Era of Computational Cognitive Intelligence.

The triple whammy of variability in platforms (e.g., process variability), applications (e.g., dynamic use cases in autonomous systems), and the environment (e.g., context) renders ineffective the classical computational/algorithmic/numerical computing paradigm in dealing with the inherent runtime dynamism and uncertainty faced by emerging systems. We posit that this requires a fundamental change from classical "static" computing to a new era that deploys a computational cognitive intelligence (CCI) paradigm that is able to learn and evolve at runtime. The CCI paradigm empowers systems to be adaptable and evolvable by exploiting biologically-inspired cognitive intelligence principles.
