The Cognitive Systems Monographs (COSMOS) publish new developments and advances in the fields of cognitive systems research, rapidly and informally but with a high quality. The intent is to bridge cognitive brain science and biology with engineering disciplines. It covers all the technical contents, applications, and multidisciplinary aspects of cognitive systems, such as Bionics, System Analysis, System Modelling, System Design, Human Motion Understanding, Human Activity Understanding, Learning of Behaviour, Man-Machine Interaction, Smart and Cognitive Environments, Human and Computer Vision, Neuroinformatics, Humanoids, Biologically motivated systems and artefacts, Autonomous Systems, Linguistics, Sports Engineering, Computational Intelligence, Biosignal Processing, or Cognitive Materialsas well as the methodologies behind them. Within the scope of the series are monographs, lecture notes, selected contributions from specialized conferences and workshops, as well as selected Ph.D. theses.
Indexed by SCOPUS, DBLP, zbMATH, SCImago.

To my cat Sheena
The book addresses a new approach to computation I call eco-cognitive, which stresses the attention to the question of the overwhelming domestication of ignorant entities, which is at work in our current societies. I think the intellectual and didactic virtues of this approach resort to the conviction that seeing at computation in the special interdisciplinary perspective I am proposing avoids reducing the analysis of computation to a rigid one-sided view, privileging the theoretical commitment towards the study of computation as a variegated phenomenon that regards human beings in their individual and social lives.
the distributed and embodied nature of computational tools, models, and methods, ultimately related to the idea of the current importance of the external cognitive machines as mediators of cognition;
the central role of the dynamics of the productionand of the rational handlingof new kinds of unconventional computations, by referring to the various multimodal related epistemological aspects;
the fact that computation can be satisfactorily examined only in an eco-cognitive perspective.
Chapter The concepts of information, computation, and cognition are variously interpreted and explained and still lead to ambiguous results. I contend that seeing the evolutionary emergence in humans of information, meaning, and of the first kinds of cognition as the outcome of dynamic coevolutionary interactions between brain/mind internal processes, body itself, and external environment can be extremely useful (1) to clarify the most common misunderstandings and the basic vagueness of the concepts above and (2) to appropriately describe computation as an evolving concept subjected to continuous transformations of meaning. To this aim, I also take advantage of the dynamic concepts of salience and pregnance derived from Thoms catastrophe theory. When the physical computation is seen in the perspective of the ecology of cognition, it is easy to understand Turings original ideas concerning the emergence of information, cognition, and computation in organic, inorganic, and artefactual agents, which I also briefly illustrate in this chapter. I also show that seeing computation as dynamically active in distributed physical entities of various kinds suitably transformed so that data can be encoded and decoded to obtain appropriate results further sheds light on what I call eco-cognitive computationalism. I hope it will become clear that eco-cognitive computationalism does not aim at furnishing an ultimate and static definition of the concepts of information, cognition, and computation, such as a textbook could provide, instead, it intends, by respecting their historical and dynamical character, to propose an intellectual framework that depicts how we can understand their forms of emergence and the modification of their meanings.
