Complementarity in information studies
Synthese, 2018The principle of complementarity in physics can be generalized and extended to information studies. It helps explain the dilemma faced by information studies today. The prevailing endeavor that going beyond the limitation of formal theories and to develop a unified theory of information falls in the dilemma which is structurally homologous to the ...

Papers presented at the the March 3-5, 1959, western joint computer conference on XX - IRE-AIEE-ACM '59 (Western), 1959
As is well-known in the computer field, the basic scheme of information retrieval is to search a given set of data and extract those records which satisfy a certain set of criteria. While many schemes of information retrieval are being used, new techniques are always being considered and tested so that this very important task of computer technology ...

ON USER STUDIES AND INFORMATION NEEDS
Journal of Documentation, 1981Apart from information retrieval there is virtually no other area of information science that has occasioned as much research effort and writing as ‘user studies’. Within user studies the investigation of ‘information needs’ has been the subject of much debate and no little confusion.

On the Study of Complexity in Information Systems
International Journal of Information Technologies and Systems Approach, 2008This article addresses complexity in information systems. It defines how complexity can be used to inform information systems research, and how some individuals and organizations are using notions of complexity. Some organizations are dealing with technical and physical infrastructure complexity, as well as the application of complexity in specific ...

Studies on Fuzzy Information Measures
2006 5th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Informatics, 2006Fuzzy information measure is a measure between two pattern vectors in fuzzy circumstance. In this paper, an axiom theory about fuzzy entropy is surveyed, and all kinds of definitions of fuzzy entropy are discussed firstly. And then based on the idea of Shannon information entropy, two concepts of fuzzy joint entropy and fuzzt conditional entropy are ...
