چکیده
Mathematician Claude Shannon was born in Michigan in 1916 and died in 2001. The approach to information and communication he laid out in his groundbreaking paper A Mathematical Theory of Communication, published in the Bell System Technical Journal in 1948, and republished virtually unchanged in the pamphlet The Mathematical Theory of Communication he wrote with Warren Weaver the following year (published by the University of Illinois Press) remain current to this day. (Note how the “a” of his paper became “the” in the Shannon-Weaver version.)

During the 1970s, Barwise and Seligman took the situation-theoretic approach to information and took away much of the technical machinery for handling situations, relations and types, to produce an abstract mathematical account of information flow. Their motivating idea is that information flow is made possible by regularities in systems. Rather than develop machinery for analyzing those regula...
متن کاملCoalgebras and Modal Logic
1 These lecture notes were written mainly during my stay as an ERCIM fellow at the Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic. I owe special thanks to Lubo s Brim, Ji r Rosick y, and the Faculty for Informatics. Preface These course notes present universal coalgebra as a general theory of systems. By`system' we understand some entity running in and communicating with an environment. We also assum...
متن کاملCoalgebras, Stone Duality, Modal Logic
A brief outline of the topics of the course could be as follows. Coalgebras generalise transition systems. Modal logics are the natural logics for coalgebras. Stone duality provides the relationship between coalgebras and modal logic. Furthermore, some basic category theory is needed to understand coalgebras as well as Stone duality. So we will need to learn something about modal logic, about S...
متن کاملBeyond first order logic: From number of structures to structure of numbers: Part II
We study the history and recent developments in nonelementarymodel theory focusing on the framework of abstractelementary classes. We discuss the role of syntax and semanticsand the motivation to generalize first order model theory to nonelementaryframeworks and illuminate the study with concrete examplesof classes of models. This second part continues to study the question of catecoricitytrans...
