Purpose The paper discusses the notion of information with regard to its carriers, representatives (or structural carriers) and carried-related processes of transmission, accumulation and processing through the developmental periods of the inorganic and organic world. In the first period,...

We present a kinetic data structure named Kinetic Interval Graph (KI-Graph) for performing efficient range search on moving one dimensional axis-parallel segments. This finds applications in Artificial Intelligence such as robotic motion. The structure requires O(n) storage. The time taken per...

This note discusses two challenges to simulating the social process of science. The first is developing an adequately rich representation of the underlying Data Generation Process which scientific progress can \"learn\". The second is how to get effective data on what, in broad terms, the...
