Cognitive Grid Part 1:
Introduction
The Cognitive Grid has three aspects: philosophy, methodology and technology. The philospohy covers thinking about complex systems as a network of distributed, asynchronous cognitive nodes that have certain properties, characteristics and behaviors. The methodology covers the design, development, testing, integration and deployment processes and techniques that support realization of intelligent distributed systems that support the Cognitive Grid philosphy. The technology component is comprised of three emerging areas of research: Intelligent Agents, Grid Computing and the Semantic Web, each of which supports and influences the philosphy and methodologies.

The end result is a foundation upon which to realize intelligent systems. Looking at technology component in terms of a Venn diagram, we would see that each core technology area has qualities, and the overlaps have additional qulaities, but at the intersection of all three is where we realize the technilogical synergies that empower the Cognitive Grid. The following pages discuss the three aspects of the Cogntiive Grid and the realization of those aspects in technology.
