Collective cognition and distributed information processing from bacteria to humans
- 2015

Ingår i: AISB Convention 2015, Canterbury, United Kingdom, 20-22 April 2015.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to propose a general infocomputational model of cognition that can be applied to living organisms from the level of a single celĺs cognition to the level of groups of increasingly complex organisms with social, distributed cognition. We defend the project of new cognitivism, which unlike the old one acknowledges the central role of embodiment for cognition. Information processing going on in a cognising agent range from transduction of chemical signals and "quorum sensing" in bacteria, via simple local rules of behaviour that insects follow and that manifest themselves as "swarm intelligence", to human level cognition with full richness of human languages and other systems of communication.

A Multiscale Taxonomy of Information in the World
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Theoretical Information Studies. - Singapore : World Scientific. - 9813277483 ; , s. 3-27
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We construct a multiscale, multiaspect taxonomy of information. This taxonomy is a unified system of aspect taxonomies of information, the majority of which are developed by the authors while others are suggested by other researchers. Each aspect taxonomy reflects some aspect of information representing modes of this aspect. In such a way, information is represented in a multidimensional parametric space. This representation has several goals: to support conceptual analysis of information, allow better utilization of information in the domain of cognition, enable improvement of efficiency of information processing systems, such as search engines, and provide better methodological approaches to information.

A Taxonomy of Computation and Information Architecture

- Nowadays computation is typically understood through the Turing machine model, in the fields of computability, computational complexity and even as a basis for present-day computer hardware and software architectures. Those are technologies designed in the first place to process data. Being description of data manipulation, Turing model of computation presents only one aspect of computation in the real world – an abstraction of the execution of an algorithm. However, several other possible aspects of computation, even those existing in today’s applications, are left outside, thus adequate models in distributed, self-organized, resource-aware, adaptive, learning computation systems are needed. This paper presents taxonomy of existing models of computation. It is connected to more general notion of natural computation, intrinsic to physical systems, and particularly cognitive computation in cognitive systems. We see Turing model of computation as a basic mechanism which can be used to build more complex computational architectures, that in combination with interaction with the environment (learning) give advanced information-processing behaviors in cognitive systems.

Computation as Information Transformation
- 2015

Ingår i: IS4IS Summit Vienna 2015.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Future progress of new information processing devices capable of dealing with problems such as big data, Internet of things, semantic web, cognitive robotics, neuroinformatics and similar, depends on the adequate and efficient models of computation. We argue that defining computation as information transformation, and given that there is no information without representation, the dynamics of information on the fundamental level is physical/ intrinsic/ natural computation (Dodig-Crnkovic, 2011) (Dodig-Crnkovic, 2014). Intrinsic natural computation occurs on variety of levels of physical processes, such as the levels of computation of living organisms as well as designed computational devices. The present article is building on our typology of models of computation as information processing (Burgin & Dodig-Crnkovic, 2013). It is indicating future paths for the advancement of the field, expected both as a result of the development of new computational models and learning from nature how to better compute using information transformation mechanisms of intrinsic computation.

From the Closed Classical Algorithmic Universe to an Open World of Algorithmic Constellations

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we analyze methodological and philosophical implications of algorithmic aspects of unconventional computation. At first, we describe how the classical algorithmic universe developed and analyze why it became closed in the conventional approach to computation. Then we explain how new models of algorithms turned the classical closed algorithmic universe into the open world of algorithmic constellations, allowing higher flexibility and expressive power, supporting constructivism and creativity in mathematical modeling. As Gödel’s undecidability theorems demonstrate, the closed algorithmic universe restricts essential forms of mathematical cognition. In contrast, the open algorithmic universe, and even more the open world of algorithmic constellations, remove such restrictions and enable new, richer understanding of computation.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Theoretical Information Studies is the second volume which together with Philosophy and Methodology of Information comprises a two-volume edition with the aim of laying out the foundation of the emerging research field of the Study of Information. It is based on the Summit “Digitalisation for a Sustainable Society” organized by the International Society for the Study of Information held in Gothenburg in 2017 (http://is4si-2017.org). This volume contains a selection of the best theoretical contributions from the Gothenburg summit, together with a number of invited contributions of leading contemporary researchers in the field of the Study of Information…
