PDF 2021 Summit of the International Society for the Study of Information IS4SI

However, papers on subjects focusing mainly on symmetry will be also welcome, since papers on a certain topic may induce associations with other topics in between members of the audience. The 2021Summit will consist of the series of conferences dedicated to the diverse perspectives on information in its multiple manifestations, conceptualizations, and on its various forms of involvement in natural processes and artifacts. The main goal of the Summit is to promote mutual understanding between those who are engaged in the study of information or who search for innovative and creative applications of the results of this study. The stage for the Gothenburg summit is set by the theme of Digitalisation for sustainable society, in light of information, computation and cognition.

Foundations of Information Science, one of our core communities, held its first conference in Madrid, Spain, as early as 1994 – thus more than 20 years ago. We invite submissions of extended abstracts of papers intended for a presentation at the conference “Symmetry, Structure, and Information” on all topics related to the interdisciplinary study of symmetry. Naturally, the papers aiming to address the mutual relations between these ideas are in the highest demand and will be given preference.

Plenary Talks Presenting Interdependence between Information and Symmetry

Discussions may be up to 45 minutes but must be worked with and approved by the organizing committee. After the 4th ICPI, the studies on philosophy of information have made further progress. Based on these new developments, we have chosen the following thematic topics for the 5th ICPI and would also welcome some other topics that are consistent with the theme.

Information about the Summit

• We talk about cognitive computing and deep learning as two central and hugely promising fields.
• However, history of associations between diverse communities and individual scholars within information studies is much older than that.
• The word “crisis” comes from the Greek discernment, judgement, which describes well our present experience.
• The topics related to philosophical issues in computing will have a special place due to the nature of the general multiplex conference.

The best contributions will be published in the journals affiliated with the Summit and/or included in the book published after the Conference. Researchers are invited to send their abstracts for presentation, as well as to suggest organization of special sessions and discussion panels at the Conference. Contributed presentations are planned for 30 minutes including minute lecture and 5-10 minute discussion. The 2021 IS4SI Summit is coming in the shadow of the global crisis of new coronavirus pandemic. Dozens of millions of people have been already infected, some of them suffered but managed to recover but more than a million perished. The word “crisis” comes from the Greek discernment, judgement, which describes well our present experience.

Gesture research spreads around the world and research centers and gesture groups are located in different continents. With particular research foci, the centers and groups advance the study of gestures in different fields and by following different methodological and theoretical approaches. The centers and groups push forward the study of gestures in their respective fields and promote gesture research outside of academia through lecture series, workshops and other public events. Our international conferences have grown over the past years and now welcome up to 300 gesture researchers working in diverse academic and creative disciplines.

Contributions from the beginning of the academic or intellectual career are as welcome as those from its peak. The plan for the Workshop was cancelled in 2020 due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus. Since it is difficult to predict the future conditions the Workshop is planned in the online format along with the cluster of other conferences of the 2021 IS4SI Summit. This will be a unique opportunity to engage in the interaction and discussion with participants of is4is.org multiple conferences of the Summit. During digitalization data will be increasingly collected, communicated/exchanged and analyzed in cognitive and intelligent computational ways. We talk about cognitive computing and deep learning as two central and hugely promising fields.

In this event we encourage open and constructive debate on the perceived differences in the various perspectives on constructivist and computationalist accounts of computation as the dynamics of information in its natural and artifactual realisations. Short papers (ca. 5 pages) based on accepted presentations will be published in the Proceedings of the Summit. High quality papers of any extension will be invited to be published in journals cooperating with IS4SI. Acceptance notices will be sent soon after submitted extended abstracts are reviewed by organizers. Late submissions may be considered, but to secure full consideration, please meet the deadline. Submissions can be sent any time after this announcement to any of the members of the Organizing Committee.
