The paper describes the informational nature of consciousness by which the meaning is coming into existence in the form of meaningful information. The system of informational consciouness is derived recursively and then interpreted in various ways formalistically, linguistically, graph-like and geometrically. Informational axioms shape the basic philosophy of the informational, determining the ...

Enterprise Architecture (EA) models provide information on the fundamental as-is structure of a company or governmental agency and thus serve as an informational basis for informed decisions in enterprise transformation projects. At the same time EA models provide a means to develop and visualize to-be states in the EA planning process. Results of a literature review and implications from indus...

This article documents an e!ort to experimentally examine the e!ects of information characteristics of Web shopping sites on consumers' desire to approach the sites. A "eld experiment was conducted in which respondents visited shopping sites characterized by varying levels of information load. Two dimensions of information load, complexity and novelty were identi"ed and were found to have di!er...

Recently emerging data-driven citizen sciences need to harness an increasing amount of massive data with varying quality. This paper develops essential theoretical frameworks, example models, and a general definition of complexity measure, and examines its computational complexity for an interactive data-driven citizen science within the context of guided self-organization. We first define a co...

How much information does a large-scale cortical network process when it’s conscious and/or unconscious? Can the complexity of such networks be quantified and be coupled to brain function and consciousness? Recently, measures of network complexity such as integrated information have been proposed. However, we show that these approaches are computationally intractable for realistic brain network...

We analyse the computational complexity of comparing informational structures. Intuitively, we study the complexity of deciding queries such as the following: Is Alice’s epistemic information strictly coarser than Bob’s? Do Alice and Bob have the same knowledge about each other’s knowledge? Is it possible to manipulate Alice in a way that she will have the same beliefs as Bob? The results show ...

The paper is dedicated to the issues connected with the informational activity of a Higher Education Institution. The methods of acquiring and maintaining a complete informational image of a Higher Education Institution are devised. The ways of a Higher Education Institution positive informational image protection are elaborated. The following stages of an informational image forming are consid...

This paper deals with basic and advanced principles and consequences of the informational in a philosophical, formalistic (symbolic), schematic, and graphical way. The central notion is informational entity as the operand and its interaction (operational property) with other entities and itself. Informational externalism, internalism, metaphysicalism, and phenomenalism are principles constituti...
