This unique volume presents a new approach ??? the general theory
of information ??? to scientific understanding of information
phenomena. Based on a thorough analysis of information processes in
nature, technology, and society, as well as on the main directions
in information theory, this theory synthesizes existing directions
into a unified system. The book explains how this theory opens new
kinds of possibilities for information technology, information
sciences, computer science, knowledge engineering, psychology,
linguistics, social sciences, and education. The book also gives a
broad introduction to the main mathematically-based directions in
information theory. The general theory of information provides a
unified context for existing directions in information studies,
making it possible to elaborate on a comprehensive definition of
information; explain relations between information, data, and
knowledge; and demonstrate how different mathematical models of
information and information processes are related. Explanation of
information essence and functioning is given, as well as answers to
the following questions: ??? how information is related to
knowledge and data; ??? how information is modeled by mathematical
structures; ??? how these models are used to better understand
computers and the Internet, cognition and education, communication
and computation.
