Welcome from the Chairs
Presented by the International Society for Information Studies
Gothenburg, Sweden, 12-16 June 2017
The conference is organized by the International Society for Information Studies IS4SI, with the Department of Applied Information Technology, belonging to both Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg, as local organizer.
International Society for Information Studies is an organisation which advances global and collaborative studies in the sciences of information, information technology and information society as a field in its own right, elaborate common conceptual frameworks and implement them in practice, contributing to the development of a sustainable information society.
Chalmers University of Technology enjoys highest international recognition and attracts students and researchers from all over the world. The goal is to actively contribute to the sustainable development. The University of Gothenburg is an open university involved in a constant exchange of knowledge, education and ideas with the rest of society. The broad research, 37 000 students and 6 000 employees, make the university a large and inspiring environment.
Call for Participation
Digitalization for a Sustainable Society: Embodied, Embedded, Networked, Empowered through Information, Computation & Cognition!
Our global society becomes increasingly data–information– knowledge based. This is often called “digitalization” or “digital society”. What does digitalization mean for us as individuals, as societies and on a global scale, how does it affect our lives? Mobile devices, cloud computing, envisioned ”internet of things” and “internet of everything” have already started to generate what is commonly called “big data”. Intelligent objects speaking for themselves, communicating with each other are being developed to create “cyber physical systems” of “communicating things” – in the production, transportation and other infrastructures, in the city as a whole (“intelligent city”) and at home (“intelligent homes”).
What will be the human’s role in this emerging “digital” society? The social and technological innovations that are intended to boost cognition, communication and co-operation are ambiguous: their potential to advance information commons is not fully exploited. A breakthrough to a global, sustainable information society must establish an information commons as a cornerstone of a new programme for coping with the challenges of the information age.
Please visit https://is4si-2017.org/calls/ for full information
We aim at gathering different stakeholders to meet and discuss, to present the state of the art and to envisage possible futures. Networked we hope to expand our shared knowledge for promotion of sustainable digitalization of society.
The focus of the reflection of information studies is twofold:
– on the impact of the sciences of information and its dynamics (computation) as well as their role as meaning-generators (cognition).
– on the foundations of the sciences of information, computation, communication and cognition.
Summit is planned as gathering of workshops, conferences, tracks, poster sessions, demonstrations and similar, connected by common plenary talks, social events, exhibitions, discussions, etc.
We invite participants from research institutions, companies, civil society organizations and other stakeholders in the process of digitalization for sustainable development to:
Organize
- a conference stream
- a workshop
- a panel
- tutorial
- an exhibition
- poster session
- demonstration
- artistic event or similar
- support the meeting as a partner organisation

Show Abstract |

Mark Burgin University of California, Los Angeles, 520 Portola Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095
The term ecology (Ökologie in German) was coined in 1866 by the German scientist Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) from two Greek words oikos, which means house, or more generally, habitat or place of living and logos, which was used in ancient Greece denoting such concepts as order, meaning, foundation or mind (Odum, 2004). Haeckel’s initiative instigated an approach, where European botanists investigated plant communities related to definite territories and their interdependencies, giving rise to the science of ecology, which was dealing not only with plants but also with other living beings. In the contemporary science, ecology is a holistic study of living systems in relation to their environment by explicating patterns of, processes in and relationships between these systems. At the same time, ecology as a whole contains such subdisciplines as plant ecology and animal ecology. Plant ecology studies the distribution and abundance of plants, the effects of environmental factors upon the abundance of plants, and the interactions among and between plants and other organisms (Weaver and Clements, 1938). Animal ecology is the scientific study of animals and how they related to and interact with each other, as well as with their environment, determining the distribution and abundance of organisms. Together these two areas form natural ecology, whereas researchers also created other ecological fields. One of them is human ecology, which is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary study of the relationships between humans and their natural, social, and technological environments involving a variety of disciplines: geography, sociology, psychology, anthropology, zoology, epidemiology, public health, home economics, and natural ecology, among others (Young, 1974). While ecology has traditionally dealt only with natural systems, the new field of industrial ecology studies industrial products as part of larger systems and processes including industrial behavior and biogeochemical cycles as a part of a system and aiming at reduction of the environmental impacts of production, consumption, and disposal. Chinese scientist Yixin Zhong initiated information ecology (Zhong, 1988; 2017). This discipline is essentially important for information studies as a holistic approach to the existence and functioning of information processing systems, as well as for better understanding of information processes in all spheres of reality. If ecology of plants studies structures and processes in systems of plants, information ecology studies structures and processes in organizations of information processing systems and formations. One more ecological area is ecology of mind suggested by Bateson (Bateson, 1973). Researchers also study knowledge ecology (Bray, 2007; Shrivastava, 1998), which is an approach to knowledge management aimed at fostering the dynamic evolution of knowledge interactions between systems to advance decision-making and innovation by means of enhanced evolutionary networks of collaboration. In contrast to purely instructional management, which attempts either to manage or direct outcomes, knowledge ecosystems advocate that knowledge strategies should focus more on enabling flexible self-organization and self-improvement in response to changing environments. In addition, American anarchist and libertarian socialist author Murray Bookchin introduced social ecology as a critical study of society (Bookchin, 2005). Existence of different ecological disciplines needs a common foundation and presented in this work general ecology provides such a unifying foundation for all ecological studies. The concept of ecosystem proposed by the English ecologist Arthur Tansley is central for different ecological disciplines. That is why we start our exposition with defining this concept in the most general context. To this, we describe how the global structure of the world affects the organization of ecosystems. The large-scale structure of the world is represented by the Existential Triad (Burgin, 2012), which is given in Figure 2.
World of Structures | | | | Physical World --------------------- Mental World
Figure 2. The Existential Triad of the World
The three worlds from the Existential Triad are not separate realities: they interact and intersect. Individual mentality is based on the brain, which is a material thing, while in the opinion of many physicists mentality influences physical world (cf., for example, (Herbert, 1987)). At the same time, our knowledge of the physical world largely depends on interaction between mental and material worlds. Note that not only people but also all information processing systems have their mentality. Let us look at a computer. The content of the computer’s memory can be naturally treated as the mentality of this computer. For instance, the operating system is a part of the mentality of the computer. The global structure of the world induces three types of ecosystems:
When all three components of the world stratification are combined in one system, we have a total ecosystem. An ecosystem is delineated by three parameters:
For instance, in a natural ecosystem, living organisms form the primary type of elements and a chosen area on the Earth shapes the region in the space. In this context, a natural ecosystem is composed of the dynamically interacting parts including all living organisms in a given area, which interact with each other and with their non-living environment. In an information ecosystem, information processing systems form the primary type of elements and a chosen area on the Earth (may be the whole Earth) shapes the region in the space in which information processing systems are interacting with each other, and also with their environments. In addition, studies of information ecosystems concentrates on information processes going in the system. Note that there are different kinds of information processing systems: technical information processing systems, living information processing systems, human information processing systems and so on. Three grades of (types of) elements/components:
Ecological studies are aimed at understanding existence and functioning of the primary elements/components of ecosystems, as well as basic connections, ties and processes in these ecosystems. A physical ecosystem contains parts, elements and components of three kinds:
In a physical ecosystem, it is possible to consider only physical processes or also to take into account mental and information processes. A mental ecosystem contains parts, elements and components of three kinds:
In a mental ecosystem, it is possible to consider only mental processes or also to take into account information processes. A structural ecosystem contains parts, elements and components of three kinds:
The general ecology standpoint shows that it is possible to study information ecosystems either as physical ecosystems or as mental ecosystems or as structural ecosystems. It gives three perspectives at information ecosystems allowing researchers to obtain better knowledge and understanding of these systems. One more possibility is to study total information ecosystems combining all three perspectives in one model. References Bateson, G.

sciforum-011100 | Ethical Considerations in Cloud Computing Systems | N/A |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cloud computing is a new generation of computing systems, increasingly developing as a promising solution to deal with the explosion of computing complexity and data size. One of the main concerns to shift from traditional computing systems to Cloud is ethics. In many cases, ethical issues depend on particular applications and circumstances. However, we intend to identify ethical issues of Cloud, inherent in the fundamental nature of the technology rather than specific circumstances. There are multiple technological criteria affecting ethical issues in Cloud, such as security; privacy; compliance and performance metrics. Along with the technological criteria, a set of rules and regulations called Terms and Conditions (T&C) effects on ethics in the Cloud. T&C is an agreement specifying the rights and obligations of users, Cloud providers and third parties. In this ongoing research work, we aim to firstly investigate the main technological criteria affecting ethics in Cloud, while at the same time, we provide a discussion to indicate that how each of these criteria influences ethics, secondly to consider the relationship between the T&C rules and ethics, and finally to have a quick look at ethical issues in Cloud versus traditional web-based applications. |

sciforum-012158 | Does Kun’s Philosophy of Information define what is Information? |
![]() |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The need for a generally accepted definition of “what is information” is self-evident and acute. However, Kun’s definition of information as “a philosophical category indicating indirect being” is unable to satisfy this need, especially when it comes to an everyday usage of the term. That forced me to seek for a more suitable definition of information. Despite the differences, Kun and I agree that we witness today a paradigm shift from data-based computational way of thinking to information-based cognitive way of thinking (Kun calls that “informalization of science”). Below is provided a short comment on this issue. |

sciforum-011188 | The Philosophical Foundations of Informational Ecology | , | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Information ecology is a concept relative to intelligent agents. It’s not about the ecology of information itself, but the ecological system that the intelligent agents exist as an informational way and process, produce, create information. The information ecology consists of four levels: the level of information network is the basic level of matter and energy of information ecology; the level of information flow is the information processing level of information ecology; the level of information production is the evolution level of information ecology; and the level of information creation is the dynamic level of information ecology. Reciprocity is the radical characteristic of information ecology as well as information. The basic characteristic of natural ecology is physical; the basic characteristic of social ecology is relational; and the basic characteristic of information ecology is reciprocitical. The basic principle of information ecology development in human society is the interaction between information symmetry and asymmetry. The basic difference between information ecology and natural ecology is that the natural ecology is naturally formed, and the information ecology is basically intelligent agent-made. In the era of information civilization, information ecology is not only based on the natural ecology and social ecology, but also plays more and more important roles in natural ecology, especially in social ecology. The key to natural ecology is the natural balance; the key to social ecology is social harmony; and the key to information ecology is mutual arousing in the process of information based on information circulation. |

sciforum-010419 | An Analysis of the Controversy between "Nominalism" and "Realism" in Middle Ages from the Perspective of Information Philosophy |
![]() |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
From the origin of ancient Greek philosophy to the philosophy of medieval ages, although it appeared the discussion of "nominalism" and "realism" in medieval times, the exploration of the concept of "objective but non-real" did not get further developed. From the view of the inherent integration of the unity of general rationality on science and philosophy, professor Wu Kun revived the concept of "objective but non-reality" and creatively developed his "philosophy of information" system. Because the existence of "objective but non-reality" is inherently a kind of "crossover" field in the traditional philosophy, it certainty solve the problems of traditional philosophy from the ontology, which will lead to the breakthrough in the fundamental paradigm in philosophy, and the philosophy begin its fundamental turn. |

ABOUT THE TOPICS
Digitalization for a Sustainable Society: Embodied, Embedded, Networked, Empowered through Information, Computation & Cognition!
Our global society becomes increasingly data–information– knowledge based. This is often called “digitalization” or “digital society”. What does digitalization mean for us as individuals, as societies and on a global scale, how does it affect our lives? Mobile devices, cloud computing, envisioned ”internet of things” and “internet of everything” have already started to generate what is commonly called “big data”. Intelligent objects speaking for themselves, communicating with each other are being developed to create “cyber physical systems” of “communicating things” – in the production, transportation and other infrastructures, in the city as a whole (“intelligent city”) and at home (“intelligent homes”).
What will be the human’s role in this emerging “digital” society? The social and technological innovations that are intended to boost cognition, communication and co-operation are ambiguous: their potential to advance information commons is not fully exploited. A breakthrough to a global, sustainable information society must establish an information commons as a cornerstone of a new programme for coping with the challenges of the information age.
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
We aim at gathering different stakeholders to meet and discuss, to present the state of the art and to envisage possible futures. Networked we hope to expand our shared knowledge for promotion of sustainable digitalization of society.
