Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Except from the Foreword
The stated aim of the book series "Capturing Intelligence" is to
publish books on research from all disciplines dealing with and
affecting the issue of understanding and reproducing intelligence
artificial systems. Of course, much of the work done in the past
decades in this area has been of a highly technical nature, varying
from hardware design for robots, software design for intelligent
agents, and formal logic for reasoning.
It is therefore very refreshing to see Information Flow and
Knowledge Sharing. This is a courageous book indeed. It is not
afraid to tackle the Big Issues: notions such as information,
knowledge, information system, information flow, collaborative
problem solving, and ontological reasoning. All of these notions
are crucial to our understanding of intelligence and our building
of intelligent artificial systems, but all too often, these Big
Issues are hidden behind the curtains while the technical topics
take center stage.
AI has a rich history of philosophical books that have chosen a
non-standard structure and narrative. It is nice to see that the
authors have succeeded into combining a non-standard approach to
deep questions with a non-standard format, resulting in a highly
interesting volume.
"Frank van Harmelen, Series Editor"
Excerpt from the Introduction
Our interest is to promote, through a better and deeper
understanding of the notions of information and knowledge, a better
and deeper critical understanding of information technology as
situated in the full range of human activities, assuming as a
principle that this range of activities cannot be properly
appreciated when it is reduced to the simplifiedmeans-end schema
proposed by Technology. We invite the reader to build his/her own
points of view about these notions, considering our propositions as
a starting point for a critical analysis and discussion of these
points. With that, we believe we are contributing to a better
understanding of the impact of technology - and particularly of
Information Technology - in everyday life.
"Flavio Soares Correa da Silva, Jaume Agusti-Cullell"
*Bridges the gap between the technological and philosophical
aspects of information technology
*Gives both professionals and academics a philosophical foundation
of IT so they can better understand their own discliplines
*Sheds light on a part of IT which is often overshadowed by its
technical counterparts
A global examination that includes nations in Latin America, Asia, Russia, Eastern Europe, and Africa, this book investigates the implications of the various paths that nations take to democracy and the political and economic programmes needed to stabilise new democracies. From military to authoritarian to communist oligarchies, the essays reveal that democratic transitions were instigated by division within the ruling elite, and poor economic performance followed in its wake. An extensive look at what the United States can do through its foreign policy to promote and invest in democratisation is included.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th
International Conference on Digital Forensics and Cyber Crime,
ICDF2C 2015, held in Seoul, South Korea, in October 2015. The 14
papers and 3 abstracts were selected from 40 submissions and cover
diverse topics ranging from tactics of cyber crime investigations
to digital forensic education, network forensics, and international
cooperation in digital investigations.
