Information and Computation: Essays on Scientific and Philosophical Understanding of Foundations of Information and ComputationWorld Scientific, 2011 - 496 sidor Information is a basic structure of the world, while computation is a process of the dynamic change of information. This book provides a cutting-edge view of world's leading authorities in fields where information and computation play a central role. It sketches the contours of the future landscape for the development of our understanding of information and computation, their mutual relationship and the role in cognition, informatics, biology, artificial intelligence, and information technology.This book is an utterly enjoyable and engaging read which gives readers an opportunity to understand and relate phenomena seemingly unrelated in a completely new light ? especially the connections between information, computation, cognition and life. |
