Dear FISers,
After the Lecture, Many Thanks to Otto, for bringing us that Curious
Story... let us hope that an outcome will be found, as Jerry stated: "I
see this “curious” behavior as a political problem that can be addressed
by seeking a political solution that respects scientific traditions and
hence, to motivate senior CERN officials to act honorably in the best
interests of all."
In next weeks some further discussion might be started, but at the time
being, the slot is empty (any ideas?). In the meantime I include
information about _two conferences_ organized by FIS parties, one by
Krassimir Markov and the other by Marcin Schroeder, and also about_two
books_ from FIS colleagues as well, Maxine Sheets-Johnstone and Hans von
Baeyer.
*_From Krassimir:_*
I kindly invite everybody to take part in the ITHEA ITA conferences in
Varna, Bulgaria, where there exists the General Information Theory (GTI)
International Conference.
Please see the Call For Papers at the ITHEA web site:
http://www.ithea.org/conferences/conferences.html
In addition, during ITA 2017 International Summer School on Informatics
(ISSI), also in Varna, a Workshop on the General Information Theory is
planned as well. Two specific FIS meetings already took place in this
Summer School.
Friendly greetings to all.
*_From Marcin:_*
This Symposium has as its main goal an exchange of views and opinions,
sharing knowledge and discussion of the methods to integrate curriculum
helping to educate new generations in the manner propagating a holistic
world view. Mathematics and increased level of abstraction are natural
sources of the methods of unification of knowledge and of curriculum.
The concept of symmetry provides an example of the program of
unification of the methods of inquiry across virtually all disciplines
of human intellectual activity. Whether successful or not, it can serve
as a starting point for the discussion of the curricular reforms. We
invite contributions to the discussion in the form of oral presentations
of relevant papers.
