An architectural approach to Cognitive Information System

The fast changes in information technology and business needs led to the evolution and development of Cognitive Information Systems (CIS). There have been few researches on the general model for analysis and design of CIS. This paper attempts to create a design scheme for incorporating the various model for CISs and Understanding-based management systems (UBMSS). The components that have been examined create elements of CIS analysis and design, however there were not described as modeling element and not described as an enabling tool to create a consistent and integrated system The most significant components for modeling are: semi-structured documents, business processes, constituents of knowledge management, the enterprise and, the information architecture including self-directing software components - Artificial Intelligence (AI) - that yield function. For CIS modeling the above-mentioned elements were combined into a unified framework that follows the object-oriented paradigm and architecture approaches. The aim of the research to describe a framework that presents an overarching model and assists our understanding of properties of CIS and UBMSS for being able to formulate a practical development method for CIS and cognitive management systems.
