چکیده
The notion of information has so far been quantified mostly in statistical terms, giving rise to Shannon’s information theory and the principles of digital data transmission. Modern systems involving complex, intelligent, and autonomous agents call for a new look at the measures of information, where context, semantics, structures, and rationality are of paramount importance, especially for applications to biology, chemistry, physics, and economics. In this essay we propose a framework for measuring information inspired by the event-driven approach. We then illustrate our definition on several examples ranging from distributed systems to biology and economics.

متن کاملWhat definition of information would be emancipatory one?
Background and Aim: Human-information interaction, either in every day life or in research approaches, depends on pre-assumptions about “what information is”. Sometimes this pre-assumptions become axiomtic in a way that we must return to primary concerns about them to explore new social phenomenas. Information as an object is one of pre-assumptions. In this paper, the mentioned pre-assumptions ...
