This essay looks closely at René Descartes’s physiological theory, and especially his theorization of the nerves and the brain as an information-processing system, in order to offer a new interpretation of cognition within his philosophy. Rather than opposing mind and body, Descartes showed how the operations of the soul interrupted the automatic cognitive processes of the body to provide adaptive flexibility for the human organism as a whole.

One way to evaluate cognitive processes in living or nonliving systems is by using the notion of “information processing”. Emotions as cognitive processes orient human beings to recognize, express and display themselves or their wellbeing through dynamical and adaptive form of information processing. In addition, humans behave or act emotionally in an embodied environment. The brain embeds symbols, meaning and purposes for emotions as well. So any model of natural or autonomous emotional agents/systems needs to consider the embodied features of emotions that are processed in an informational channel of the brain or a processing system. This analytical and explanatory study described in this chapter uses the pragmatic notion of information to develop a theoretical model for emotions that attempts to synthesize some essential aspects of human emotional processing. The model holds context-sensitive and purpose-based features of emotional pattering in the brain. The role of memory is discussed and an idea of control parameters that have roles in processing environmental variables in emotional patterning is introduced.

В статье рассматривается возможность применения методов решения транспортной задачи к задаче распределения вычислительных ресурсов в гетерогенных распределенных системах обработки информации. Приведено сравнение эффективности алгоритмов с ранее разработанным алгоритмом наименьшего времени для атомарных заявок. The paper examines the applicability of methods for solving the transport problem to the problem of distribution of computing resources in heterogeneous distributed information processing systems. A comparison of the efficiency of the algorithms with the previously developed least time algorithm for atomic claims is given.
