Glossarium BITri 2016 : Interdisciplinary Elucidation of Concepts, Metaphors, Theories and Problems Concerning Information
222 p.Terms included in this glossary recap some of the main
concepts, theories, problems and metaphors concerning
INFORMATION in all spheres of knowledge.
This is the first edition of an ambitious enterprise covering
at its completion all relevant notions relating to
INFORMATION in any scientific context. As such,
this glossariumBITri is part of the broader project
BITrum, which is committed to the mutual understanding
of all disciplines devoted to information
across fields of knowledge and practic
Third Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Space Applications, part 1
The application of artificial intelligence to spacecraft and aerospace systems is discussed. Expert systems, robotics, space station automation, fault diagnostics, parallel processing, knowledge representation, scheduling, man-machine interfaces and neural nets are among the topics discussed
Tech Imaginations
Prof. Dr. Jens Schröter, Christoph Borbach, Max Kanderske und Prof. Dr. Benjamin Beil sind Herausgeber der Reihe. Die Herausgeber*innen der einzelnen Hefte sind renommierte Wissenschaftler*innen aus dem In- und Ausland.Technologies and especially media technologies are pervasive in modern societies. But even more omnipresent are the imaginaries of modern technologies – what technologies are thought to be capable of or what effects they are supposed to have. These imaginations reveal a lot of the political and ideological self-descriptions of societies, hence the (techno-)imaginary also functions as a kind of epistemic tool.
Concepts of the imaginary therefore have experienced an increasing attention in cultural theory and the social sciences in recent years. In particular, work from political philosophy, but also approaches from science and technology studies (STS) or communication and media studies are worth mentioning here. The term "techno-imagination", coined by Vilém Flusser in the early 1990s, refers to the close interconnection of (digital) media and imaginations, whose coupling can not only be understood as a driver of future technology via fictional discourses (e.g. science fiction), but much more fundamentally also as a constitutive element of society and sociality itself, as Castoriadis has argued.
In the first part of the issue several theoretical contributions add new aspects to the discussion of socio-technical imaginaries, while in the second part a workshop held in January 2022 at the CAIS in Bochum is documented, in which the case of the imaginaries of “Future Internets” was discussed
Machine Learning
Machine Learning can be defined in various ways related to a scientific domain concerned with the design and development of theoretical and implementation tools that allow building systems with some Human Like intelligent behavior. Machine learning addresses more specifically the ability to improve automatically through experience
Interdisciplinary elucidation of concepts, metaphors, theories and problems concerning INFORMATION
Terms included in this glossary recap some of the main
concepts, theories, problems and metaphors concerning
INFORMATION in all spheres of knowledge.
This is the first edition of an ambitious enterprise covering
at its completion all relevant notions relating to
INFORMATION in any scientific context. As such,
this glossariumBITri is part of the broader project
BITrum, which is committed to the mutual understanding
of all disciplines devoted to information
across fields of knowledge and practice.
This glossary pretends to make explicit the conflicts and agreements among use and meaning
of terms related to information phenomena. Information is approached from opposing paradigms
and also from competing and cooperating disciplines. Both in science and in ordinary
life, conceptual, ethical, technical and societal problems regard information in an essential way.
This glossary does not endorse or presuppose any paradigm or any theory, but rather locates
into a public, explicit and commonly understandable space some of the crucial assumptions
dividing informational concepts, theories, problems and metaphors. Moreover, we purport to
embrace all distinct paradigms with a critical and comprehensive attitude.
The glossary is the result of an original methodology, which places any entrance under the responsibility
of its editor. Authors possibly distinct from the editor contribute to different articles
with texts, comments or discussions. Since authors come from many distinct fields of
knowledge, each article should reflect many perspectival but rigorous approaches. The glossary is an open work: the number and contents of all its entrances are updated and
submitted to revision by editors and authors. For this reason, this first edition is only a first step
in the active development of this collaborative methodology. Any interested reader wishing to
contribute, may contact the general editors.
This glossary is most indebted to the enthusiasm and work of JosĂ© MarĂa DĂaz NafrĂa. The
editorial team, authors and correctors thank the Universidad de León and Caja España for their
support to this initiative
