Abstract
The problem considered in this article is how does one go about discovering and designing intelligent systems. The solution to this problem is considered in the context of what is known as wisdom technology (wistech), an important computing and reasoning paradigm for intelligent systems. A rough-granular approach to wistech is proposed for developing one of its possible foundations. The proposed approach is, in a sense, the result of the evolution of computation models developed in the Rasiowa–Pawlak school. We also present a long-term program for implementation of what is known as a wisdom engine. The program is defined in the framework of cooperation of many Research & Development (R & D) institutions and is based on a wistech network (WN) organization.
