This book is about knowledge, it is about the externalization of
human kno- edge and about all the attempts we are undertaking to
access what we have externalized before. Thus, the book should be
of interest to a wide audience. Ontheotherhand,
therearebooksaboutknowledge, knowledgemanagement and the like
galore. There is an even larger ?ood of journal articles,
conference papers andtechnicalreports, but it is rumoredthatmostare
notreadby anyone at all. So, why read the present book or, at
least, some of its papers? In my opinion, it is the idea of
memetics which makes these proceedings special. Not every
contribution deals with memetics, but Tanaka's work and his current
projects are carving out the pro?le of what you ?nd in the book.
Let's have a closer look. Richard Dawkins in his book The Sel?sh
Gene, 1976 coined the term meme;
thetermisestablishednow.TheOxfordEnglish Dictionarysays: 'meme(mi:
m), n. Biol. (shortened from mimeme ... that which is imitated,
after GENE n.) An element of a culture that may be considered to be
passed on by non-genetic means, esp. imitation'. Yuzuru Tanaka has
seized upon Dawkin's suggestion and extended it - wardsconceptsand
implementationsthat setthe stagefor non-geneticevolution in
computer and network environments. He has coined the term meme
media. His comprehensive book Meme Media and Meme Market
Architectures, 2003 summarizes the current state of a?airs from the
perspecive of information and communication technologies.
