Our research project has been triggered by recent research findings in the field of cognitive info-communications. Our interest has been intrigued specifically by views and definitions of cognitive infocommunications (CogInfoCom) as formulated, e.g. in (Baranyi and Csapo, 2014 and Baranyi, Csapo and Sallai, eds, 2015). We have conducted empirical research to find out how the cognitive processes of the human mind co-evolve with infocommunications devices and interact with other cognitive systems. Our research suggests that smart systems (human and non-human cognizing entities alike) will be enabled in digital space to cooperate in efficient ways never experienced before, thus showing novel ways of information management. The central assumption of the paper draws on the claim about the irrevocable appearance of a new perception and conceptualization of information management and digital cognition. On the basis of an analysis of a representative sample of questionnaires of more than 1.700 respondents belonging to different generations of the staff of AUDI AG Germany and Audi Hungaria we put forward the characterization of a new phenomenon termed the Connected Cognitive Entity Generation (CCE Generation). The paper explains in what ways the concept of "generation CE" introduced in (Baranyi, Csapo and Sallai, eds, 2015) has been extended here. It is claimed that the perception of information management and the resulting behavior is not only faster involving greater complexities, but it also facilitates coping with virtualization in general, leading to efficiently shaping cultures taking into consideration augmented reality. The paper delineates the individual perspective on cognition and the socially embedded (connected) perspective of the cognitive personalities ("reasoning entities") on social cognition within a corporate environment. The paper makes an attempt to elaborate on the innovative drive which resides in interactive informational frameworks which consist of a multitude of connections of a cognitive personality to other cognitive entities, human and non-human alike. It is shown that management ought to be seen as the meta-level of organizational interactive behavior. The main objective of the paper is to show the possible impacts of digital culture on the nature of management and leadership in corporate settings. A particular focus of the paper is to throw light on the various aspects of identification for cognitive personalities in the context of corporate management.

The main aim of our paper is to present databases in web environment, containing or related to different types of spatial data. For the realization different data gained from GDEM digital elevation model, CORINE Land Cover database and a soil information system (called SISCS and developed by ourselves) were used. In order to help the cognitive interpretation of the data, KML file format supported by Google services was used. The evolved geographic database is able to provide information about the study area in a visual way for SISCS users, but can be extended too by uploading new data.

Housing location decision is basic information for transportation modeling. As the basis of trip generation its modelling is quite well-studied. These models are based on economic theories and assume the knowledge of a broad range of decisive information. At the same time people tend to make decision knowing far less information using heuristics. Utilizing this decision making process the question arises: providing more detailed, easily accessible information do people make more rational decision? And further considering: providing these information could we influence decision making to match with the objectives of regional development and transportation management?

This paper aims to explore and identify the trends and main streams of digitalization and cognitive infocommunications in the field of communication management in Europe. The analysis based upon the database of European Communication Monitor (ECM) 2007-2015 which is the largest study on strategic communication worldwide. The paper focuses on the development of communication channels, online communication and social media, furthermore tends to give an overall picture about the rapidly growing role of social media as a tool among European communication practitioners. This electronic document is a "live" template and already defines the components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] in its style sheet. In the frame of our paper we give an overview about the trends and long term features - such as digitalization, infocommunication, and social media - on communication management. What we can follow as clear trends during the 2007-2015 periods are as bellow: development of communication channels/instruments; coping with the digital evolution and the social web become the most important (strategic) issues for communication management; overall trend the interactive communication and online communities, and emerging interactive channels: social media, networks and online videos. There are phenomena which appear in a particular year and become a constant element of the tools by today, and there are new elements in every year. The importance of printed media is radically reduced, and replaced by online media. With their help will be the stakeholders, the media and the pubic available. Next to the online communication and online media, the forging ahead of social media (social networks, blogs, etc.) is the most important source of changes. The importance of to be present in social media is gradually becoming more and more obvious to companies. Social media means a real dialogue, and it requires substantial resources. As the World Wide Web becomes more and more influential, the global media become the most important tools of the global communication management on reaching the public.

Existing virtual reality technologies conver only certain areas of the mixed-reality spectrum: Augmented reality goggles are unable to provide immersion while head-mounted displays make it difficult to interact with the real world. In this paper we introduce HoloR - short for Holographic Room: A stereoscopic, multi-person, multi-viewer, spatial projected augmented reality system, which enables applications to blend between different parts of the mixed-reality spectrum. By using web-technologies like JavaScript and WebGL the operation of HoloR does not require any installation or compiling process and thus enables rapid development of applications and extensions. We present different sample applications ranging from collaborative data exploration to augmented persons and ambient information systems.

Telemedicine embraces telecommunication and information technologies in order to serve health care at remote locations outside of the premises of medical institutions. These systems produce and process dynamically growing amount of data to keep the pace with this exponential process. Moreover, they need to support real time processing in some cases which requires a dynamically scalable and fault tolerant architecture. Based on the large amount of data we propose for these telemedicine systems an extensible architecture which uses distributed and disjoint databases as an anonymized storage in order to support data analytics. Utilizing services, these methods could help us to create a system which could derive new medical information from the collected data that could be used to find possible treatments for illnesses and discover hitherto unknown correlations between different risk factors, thus involving cognitive aspects in our outlined solution. The future of adaptive telemedicine systems should be based on the successful application of distributed data processing with services in order to produce high value-added structured information flows and innovative knowledge base.

In this paper we compare two state-of-the-art speech synthesis techniques (corpus- and HMM-based) in terms of expressive speech synthesis. Two corpora were composed with different speaking styles (broadcast news and literature reading) from the same female speaker. Our aim was to determine to what extent the different technologies reproduce these styles. The corpora and the synthetic expressive speech samples were evaluated based on objective measures, and a carefully designed perceptual test was carried out in order to evaluate naturalness, quality and style identification rates of the generated samples. In our objective assessment we focused on prosodic features that principally influence the speaking style: F0 contour, average values and articulatory speed. Our evaluation of the perceptual test shows that both techniques were able to capture the main features of expressive speech and although listeners preferred the HMM-based voice, the speaking style was recognizable in case of both methods.
