Self-Organizing Information Matching in InformANTS
First International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2007), 2007In current information systems, information is passive. People act upon it, either sending it to known destinations or pulling it from known sources. InformANTS makes information active, enabling it to move actively from one user to another. This paper introduces the InformANTS vision and describes one of its major system components, the information ...

Self-Organization and Information
Physica Scripta, 1987Summary: This paper is concerned with processes of self-organization which can take place in both the inanimate and animate world. In particular, we study the question of what physics can contribute to the understanding of these processes. Its traditional disciplines of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, which are concerned with the behavior of ...

Organization of information into displays
Computers and Biomedical Research, 1972Abstract The ease with which information can be entered into a computer-based record systems is one of the most important features to be considered when designing such a system. This report considers which is the best arrangement of items of information, in an hierarchical series of displays, such as might be used in conjunction with visual display ...

1998
This paper deals with various aspects of organization in 3D-space. Section 2 of this paper is derived from our experiences during the making of “A Scientific Universe”, a VRML based 3D-environment for the Austrian Academy of Sciences. In this section we discuss different approaches we used to organize data in 3D.

Environmental Information Organization
1991The concept of information organization is introduced and discussed from the standpoint of strategic decision-making. Some information organization systems are described and an experimental system intended for organizing text-based informational items obtained from an environmental scanning process is presented and discussed.

The information processing organisms
Acta Biotheoretica, 1996In spite of the tremendous progress in recent decades of biological science, many aspects of the behaviour of organisms in general and of humans in particular remain still somewhat obscure. A new approach towards the study of the behaviour of man was presented by Heisenberg when he emphasized that a Cartesian view of nature as an object "out there" is ...

Uncertainty, Information, and (Re)Organization
The Information Society, 2004Our tendency is to generate ever-increasing amounts of information to deal with the uncertainties we face in today's turbulent environment. However, if we look at the problem more fundamentally, we see that uncertainty, the variable responsible for information demand, itself can be reduced. Thus, we should not get fixated on information generation (the

Information, Organization, and development policy
The Information Society, 1983While economic systems have become increasingly information‐intensive, economic modeling has yet to incorporate a balanced view of information as a resource. A common substitute, the assumption that more information is better than less, has dangerous consequences because it usually lacks a typology of information, assumes that expected productivity ...
