  • New Horizons For Second-order Cybernetics

    by Alexander Riegler, Karl H Muller, Stuart A Umpleby ...
    Series Book 60 - Series On Knots And Everything
    In almost 60 articles this book reviews the current state of second-order cybernetics and investigates which new research methods second-order cybernetics can offer to tackle wicked problems in science and in society. The contributions explore its application to both scientific fields (such as mathematics, psychology and consciousness research) and non-scientific ones (such as design theory and ... Read more

  • Alan M. Turing

    Centenary Edition

    by Sara Turing, John Turing ...
    'In a short life he accomplished much, and to the roll of great names in the history of his particular studies added his own.' So is described one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century, yet Alan Turing's name was not widely recognised until his contribution to the breaking of the German Enigma code became public in the 1970s. The story of Turing's life fascinates and in the years since ... Read more

  • Logic

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Graham Priest ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Logic is often perceived as having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of probability ...

  • Analysis and Control of Boolean Networks

    A Semi-tensor Product Approach

    by Daizhan Cheng, Hongsheng Qi, Zhiqiang Li ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Analysis and Control of Boolean Networks presents a systematic new approach to the investigation of Boolean control networks. The fundamental tool in this approach is a novel matrix product called the semi-tensor product (STP). Using the STP, a logical function can be expressed as a conventional discrete-time linear system. In the light of this linear expression, certain major issues concerning ... Read more

  • A Missing Link in Cybernetics

    Logic and Continuity

    by Alex M. Andrew ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    In this book I argue that a reason for the limited success of various studies under the general heading of cybernetics is failure to appreciate the importance of con- nuity, in a simple metrical sense of the term. It is with particular, but certainly not exclusive, reference to the Arti cial Intelligence (AI) effort that the shortcomings of established approaches are most easily seen. One reason ... Read more

  • Handbook on Ontologies

    Edited by Steffen Staab, Rudi Studer ...
    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    An ontology is a formal description of concepts and relationships that can exist for a community of human and/or machine agents. The notion of ontologies is crucial for the purpose of enabling knowledge sharing and reuse. The Handbook on Ontologies provides a comprehensive overview of the current status and future prospectives of the field of ontologies considering ontology languages, ontology ... Read more

  • Turing's Legacy

    Developments from Turing's Ideas in Logic

    Edited by Rod Downey ...
    Series Book 42 - Lecture Notes in Logic
    Alan Turing was an inspirational figure who is now recognised as a genius of modern mathematics. In addition to leading the Allied forces' code-breaking effort at Bletchley Park in World War II, he proposed the theoretical foundations of modern computing and anticipated developments in areas from information theory to computer chess. His ideas have been extraordinarily influential in modern ... Read more

  • Generalized Measure Theory

    by Zhenyuan Wang, George J. Klir ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    In 1992 we published a book entitled Fuzzy Measure Theory (Plenum Press, New York), in which the term ‘‘fuzzy measure’’ was used for set functions obtained by replacing the additivity requirement of classical measures with weaker requirements of monotonicity with respect to set inclusion and con- nuity. That is, the book dealt with nonnegative set functions that were mo- tone, vanished at the ... Read more
