This issue contains selected papers from the International IEEE Conference on Computational Cybernetics that took place in August 2003 in Hungary at the site of lake Balaton. Computational Cybernetics is the synergetic integration of Cybernetics and Computational Intelligence techniques. Cybernetics was defined by Wiener as "the science of control and communication, in the animal and the machine". The word "cybernetics" itself stems from the Greek "kybernetes" that means pilot or governor. Thus, the science of computational Cybernetics is especially concerned with the comparative study of automatic control systems. Furthermore, Computational Cybernetics covers not only mechanical, but biological (living), social and economical systems and for this uses computational intelligence based results of communication theory, signal processing, information technology, control theory, the theory of adaptive systems, the theory of complex systems (game theory, operational research), and computer science. We have selected 14 papers from the conference covering the fields of system design and modeling, neural networks, and fuzzy control, which resemble the great variety of computational cybernetics. While it is sometimes difficult to integrate over these differing fields, we expect the evolution of future intelligent systems at the service of mankind by the synergetic integration of these different areas. It is our hope that the papers in this issue will inspire and help our readers in the development of advanced intelligent systems.

This issue contains selected papers from the International IEEE Conference on Computational Cybernetics that took place in Vienna 2004 in Austria at the Vienna University of Technology. Computational Cybernetics is the synergetic integration of Cybernetics and Computational Intelligence techniques. Cybernetics was defined by Wiener as "the science of control and communication, in the animal and the machine". The word "cybernetics" itself stems from the Greek "kybernetes" that means pilot or governor. While the roots of cybernetics go back to the time when James Watt equipped his steam engine with a Governor, that is a simple feedback mechanism for regulation of steam flow, the computational component was a child of the 20th century with the rise of information processing machines. The science of cybernetics and the science of computer science have in common, that both infiltrated many fields of application such as mathematics, telecommunication, regulated engines, living systems/medicine, social systems, and economical systems. Thus, on the one hand, the science of computational cybernetics encompasses a wide field, like the comparative study of automatic control systems, mechanical, biological (living), social and economical systems, communication theory, signal processing, information technology, control theory, the theory of adaptive systems, and the theory of complex systems (game theory, operational research). On the other hand, this research allows for finding common roots and common behavior among this broad field. This dichotomy between a broad overarching topic and the focus on computational cybernetics establishes the basis for interesting talks and discussions between scientists of different disciplines. We have selected 11 papers from the conference covering the fields of system design and modeling, neural networks, control theory, robotics and pattern recognition, which resemble the great variety of computational cybernetics. After the conference, each of these papers has undergone another peer review cycle in which the papers had been improved in order to fit this journal's topic and quality. It is our hope that the papers in this issue will inspire and help our readers in the development of advanced intelligent systems at the service of mankind.

Introduction. The exponential growth of measurement information caused by ongoing complication of technical and production facilities necessitates the development of improved or brand new information and measurement systems, including those performing adaptive automatic control functions. Automatic criteria-based selection and reduction of measurement information continuously supplied by multi-parameter sources characterizing the objects under study require algorithms ensuring reconfiguration of automatic control systems during operation. In comparison with automatic control systems based on time-division channelling, the considered adaptive systems provide timely information on the pre-emergency and emergency operation of a facility.Aim. To develop an algorithmic support for adaptive automatic control systems using asynchronous-cyclic and parallel-sequential operating algorithms, as well as to compare the proposed algorithms in terms of their, control reliability, compression ratio, operation speed and the error associated with multi-channelling.Materials and methods. The algorithms proposed for supporting the operation of adaptive systems were developed on the basis of queuing theory and simulation modelling using the MatLab/Simulink programming languages, C++.Results. The developed algorithmic support for automatic control systems based on asynchronous-cyclic analysis of deviations allows the amount of redundant information to be reduced by more than 4 times and the operation speed to be increased by 1.5 times. The developed algorithmic support for automatic control systems based on parallel-sequential analysis of deviations allows the error associated with multi-channelling to be reduced by 1.4 times, thereby bringing the control reliability of such systems closer to that of continuous-control systems. An analysis of the graphs of the error associated with multi-channelling showed that the automatic control systems based on parallel-sequential operational algorithms are invariant to the law of distribution of input quantities, compared to the systems based on asynchronous-cyclic operational algorithms.Conclusions. The proposed algorithmic support can significantly decrease the redundancy of information and improve the metrological characteristics of automatic control systems. The use of the developed algorithms in automatic control systems based on time-division channelling render their control reliability comparable with that of continuous-control systems.

“Cyber crime” has been used to describe a wide range of offences, including offences against computer data and systems (such as “Hacking”), computer related forgery and fraud (such as “phishing”), content offences (such as disseminating child pornography), and copyright offences (such as the dissemination of pirated content). The word “Cyber Crime” has been derived from the words “Cybernetic” which means the science of communication and automatic control systems in both machines and living things.

Abstract In an increasingly digital world, intelligent systems support us in accomplishing many everyday tasks. With the proliferation of affordable sensing devices, inferring user states from collected physiological data paves the way to tailor-made adaptation. While estimating a user’s abilities is technically possible, such proficiency assessments are rarely employed to benefit the user’s task reflection. In our work, we investigate how to model and design for proficiency estimation as part of context-aware systems. In this paper, we present the definition and conceptual architecture of proficiency-aware systems. The concept is not only applicable to current adaptive systems but provides a stepping stone for systems which actively aid in developing user proficiency during interaction.
