Abstract

We present a vision for the next generation of process technology based on cognitive augmentation. Starting from current process technology, we show how by augmenting layers of cognitive intelligence to combine advances in machine-automation, crowdsourcing and more importantly adaptation and reasoning, we can advance support for emerging requirements of highly changing environments. We believe the challenges lie in the synergy between human and machine, in understanding how to orchestrate and combine their contributions. This vision paper sets forth a roadmap for future research by introducing a framework for cognitive augmentation, identifying the relevant research and technologies, and discussing its application amidst real-world use cases.
