Dear Colleagues,
My first reaction to this suggested project is that the logic and philosophy
of information (where I am more comfortable) would have little to
contribute. However, analogue computation is an area in which insights from
some complex theories of information might be useful. Analogue computation
has always appeared to me, perhaps incorrectly, as being closer to real
processes and therefore in principle better able to model their fuzzy,
qualitative aspects. But in some of the articles I've seen, the authors seem
almost apologetic at not being able to claim the 'power' of the digital
computer . . .
Best wishes,
Joseph

Thanks for the news Pedro. Sounds really exciting! As you might recall I'm
interested in applications and I would be very keen on having a
brainstorming session that would include pure researchers and
application-oriented guys like me to explore technology transfer
opportunities. I don't know if this could be part of some (possible)
future agenda but I'm sure that business people may find it more than
worthwile to attend such meetings! I'm sure Plamen would be interested
too.
best!

Objet: [Fis] FIS in Varna
Dear FISers,
The fis summer conference in Varna just took place 5-6 July --our 20
years of activities were celebrated too, FIS 20th. Rather unfortunately
not many people attended: half dozen from Spain related to Juan
Castellanos and me (from Madrid and Zaragoza); and a few parties around
Krassimir from Bulgaria and Ukraine. But we had a great time
(discussions and exchanges, banquets, beach) and the place is really
beautifull & prices quite affordable. The idea, quite possible to
realize, is that every year that we do not have a plenary fis or isis
conference, we arrange a small summer school in Varna.
Among the exchanges this year, the retinue of "basic concepts" around
information generated the most intense debate--is there any concept
prior to information? Joseph's contribution was also discussed by
Krassimir addressed to the Russian colleagues (in Russian). Computer
related ontologies, new schemes to handle Big Data, and brain
exploration through AI and EEG by a very advanced Egyptian team were
quite exciting discussion topics too. For the future, we think that
spinoff companies could be enticed to participate, developing new
products and taking profit from some of those initiatives. In any case,
the interaction with brilliant ITHEA colleagues from Bulgaria, Russia,
Ukraine, Armenia, Belarus, Egypt... is a valuable experience itself.
And that's all!
best wishes---Pedro
