Dear FIS Colleagues, Thanks to Yixin for his Colophon. I was a nice way to close the past discussion session on "Intelligence and Information" and to reconnect with our mail exchanges in this New Year. As for the coming sessions, there are a few commitments and possibilities prepared.
--Theme: Historical Foundations of Modern Science. It will be chaired by James Hannam, author of a very recent (and successful) book on the topic. I will send further info about the book and the planned session next days. It is the first time we approach science and society, with the inherent relationship between different modes of knowledge, from an historical perspective --quite an experiment in our list! We would begin the session around 1st February. -- Theme: On Information Theory. Although different parties have been interested in a session on Axiomatics, Centrality, Applications, etc., the session is not well defined yet. More concrete suggestions (and chairs or co-chairs) will be welcome. Given that a General Information Theory "real conference" will be organized by Krassimir within the ITHEA series this Summer (the announcement will be post soon) we could make sort of a preparatory discussion around middle of March or so. -- Theme: Foundations of Social Information Science. This discussion session has been proposed by the colleagues of the "Beijing FIS Group", to be chaired by Xueshan et al. It would take place around Spring time. Suggestions on the above, or about further themes, will be appreciated; they can be posted directly into the list or sent off line to my own address... It will be nice sharing the discussions amongst our Info community for another year! all the best, ---Pedro -- ------------------------------------------------- Pedro C.
