Diane Joyce Cook is an American computer scientist whose research interests include artificial intelligence, data mining, machine learning, home automation, and smart environments. She is Regents Professor and Huie-Rogers Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Washington State University. [1]
Her research has included methods for testing the intelligence of artificially intelligent systems, [2] using sensors in home automation to detect mental issues in older residents, [3] developing robotic home care assistants, [4] adapting to the habits of smart home owners, [5] and more generally application of ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence in home automation. [6]
Cook studied mathematics and computer science at Wheaton College (Illinois), graduating in 1985. She went to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for graduate study, earning a master's degree in 1987 on the automation of music notation under the joint supervision of computer scientist William Kubiz and experimental musician Sever Tipei, and completing a Ph.D. in 1990 on topics related to planning in artificial intelligence, supervised by Robert Stepp. [1]
She became an assistant professor at the University of South Florida and a faculty fellow at the NASA Ames Research Center, but quickly moved to the University of Texas at Arlington, becoming professor there in 2001 and University Distinguished Scholar Professor in 2004. In 2006, she moved to Washington State University as Regents Professor and Huie-Rogers Chair. [1]
Cook is the coauthor of:
With Lawrence B. Holder, she is the co-editor of Mining Graph Data (Wiley, 2007).
Cook was named a Fellow of the IEEE in 2008, "for contributions to machine learning algorithm design and application". [7] In 2016 she was named a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. [8]

Nikolaos G. Bourbakis ; born 1950 in Chania, Crete is a Greek computer scientist known for his work.
Cloud robotics is a field of robotics that attempts to invoke cloud technologies such as cloud computing, cloud storage, and other Internet technologies centered on the benefits of converged infrastructure and shared services for robotics. When connected to the cloud, robots can benefit from the powerful computation, storage, and communication resources of modern data center in the cloud, which can process and share information from various robots or agent. Humans can also delegate tasks to robots remotely through networks. Cloud computing technologies enable robot systems to be endowed with powerful capability whilst reducing costs through cloud technologies. Thus, it is possible to build lightweight, low-cost, smarter robots with an intelligent "brain" in the cloud. The "brain" consists of data center, knowledge base, task planners, deep learning, information processing, environment models, communication support, etc.
