Feminist Philosophy and Information Systems
Information Systems Frontiers, 2001This paper offers a new approach to the philosophical foundations of information systems (IS) through feminist philosophy and, in particular, feminist epistemology. This can be used to expose the universalizing tendency of many information systems and to show the importance of using real-life complex examples rather than the simplified examples often ...

A philosophy to system measurement
Proceedings of the December 5-7, 1972, fall joint computer conference, part II on - AFIPS '72 (Fall, part II), 1972Although a great deal of emphasis has been placed on system measurement during the past few years, each of us has his own opinion and ideas as to what it means. From a practical and immediate point of view, System Measurement is the process of obtaining useful information on the performance of software and software-controlled computer hardware.

A scheduling philosophy for multiprocessing systems
Communications of the ACM, 1967A collection of basic ideas is presented, which have been involved by various workers over the past four years to provide a suitable framework for the design and analysis of multiprocessing systems.

A nonlinear philosophy for nonlinear systems
Proceedings of the 39th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.00CH37187), 2002A framework for system analysis and design is described based on nonlinear system models and nonperiodic signals generated by nonlinear systems. The proposed approach to analysis of nonlinear systems is based on an excitability index-a nonlinear counterpart of the magnitude frequency response of linear systems.

Philosophy, Ontology, and Information Systems
2005The workshop aimed at providing a forum to discuss the use of philosophical ontology in object-oriented information systems. Whilst ontology is now more widely used in computing circles – knowledge representation, system integration, legacy transformation, and the semantic web for example – initial attempts have been modest in their outcomes.

System and Theory in Philosophy
Philosophy, 1984What is systematic in philosophy is its description of the world we inhabit. ‘Philosophers boast’, said Whitehead, ‘that they uphold no system. They are then a prey to the delusive clarities of detached expressions whichit is the very purpose of their science to surmount’.
