Sommario/riassunto

Dynamics of Information Systems: Algorithmic Approaches presents recent developments and results found by participants of the Fourth International Conference on the Dynamics of Information Systems, which took place at the University of Florida, Gainesville FL, USA on February 20–22, 2012. The purpose of this conference was to bring together scientists and engineers from industry, government, and universities to exchange knowledge and results in a broad range of topics relevant to the theory and practice of the dynamics of information systems. Dynamics of Information plays an increasingly critical role in our society. The influence of information on social, biological, genetic, and military systems must be better understood to achieve large advances in the capability and understanding of these systems. Applications are widespread and include: detection of terrorist networks, design of highly efficient businesses, computer networks, quantum entanglement, genome modeling, multi-robotic systems, and industrial and manufacturing safety. The book contains state-of-the-art work on theory and practice relevant to the dynamics of information systems. It covers algorithmic approaches to numerical computations with infinite and infinitesimal numbers; presents important problems arising in service-oriented systems, such as dynamic composition and analysis of modern service-oriented information systems and estimation of customer service times on a rail network from GPS data; addresses the complexity of the problems arising in stochastic and distributed systems; and discusses modulating communication for improving multi-agent learning convergence. Network issues—in particular minimum-risk maximum-clique problems, vulnerability of sensor networks, influence diffusion, community detection, and link prediction in social network analysis, as well as a comparative analysis of algorithms for transmission network expansion planning—are described in later chapters.

Sommario/riassunto

Künstliches Geschlechtswesen oder Geschöpf aus Fleisch und Blut?Diese Verunsicherung, die Fotografien geschlechtlich ausgestatteter Puppen evozieren können, resultiert aus dem Prinzip der Verdopplung: Die Puppe ist unser Doppelgänger, die Fotografie entsteht als indexikalische Lichtspur der »Wirklichkeit« und das Geschlecht ist Effekt performativer Wiederholungen. Aufgrund ihrer strukturellen Analogien ziehen sich alle drei Instanzen regelrecht an und potenzieren sich in ihrer unheimlichen Qualität. Denn jedes Double verfügt über das Potential, vertraute Vorstellungen zu bestätigen und in Frage zu stellen. Die fotografierte Puppe scheint den authentischen Körper bzw. das Geschlecht zu präsentieren und führt gleichzeitig beides als Artefakt vor. Auf der Suche nach dem echten Körper treffen wir nur auf seinen Stellvertreter. In diesem Wechsel zwischen wahr und falsch wird das fotografische Puppenbild gleichsam zur aktiven Instanz, die uns unsere Erwartungshaltung und Wahrnehmungsmuster vorführt.Die Analyse der fotografischen Arbeiten Hans Bellmers, Pierre Moliniers und Cindy Shermans spürt den Obsessionen der Puppe nach, die Künstler/innen wie Betrachter/innen nicht mehr loslässt.
