Within an initiative devoted to "Information and Knowledge", these research groups collaborated over several years on issues of logic, probability, inference, and deduction. The goal of this volume is to examine whether there is any common ground between the different approaches to the concept of information. The structure of this book could be represented by a circular model, with an innermost syntactical circle, comprising statistical and algorithmic approaches; a second, larger circle, the semantical one, in which "meaning" enters the stage; and finally an outermost circle, the pragmatic one, casting light on real-life logical reasoning. These articles are complemented by two philosophical contributions exploring the wide conceptual field as well as taking stock of the articles on the various formal theories of information. 410 0$aLecture notes in computer science ;$v5363. 517 3 $aFrom Shannon to semantic Information theory 606 $aInformation measurement$vCongresses 606 $aInformation storage and retrieval systems$vCongresses 606 $aSelf-organizing systems$vCongresses 615 0$aInformation measurement 615 0$aInformation storage and retrieval systems 615 0$aSelf-organizing systems 676 $a003.54 686 $aDAT 570f$2stub 686 $aQH 710$2rvk 686 $aSK 830$2rvk 686 $aSS 4800$2rvk 686 $a004$2sdnb 701 $aSommaruga$b Giovanni$066496 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483507403321 996 $aFormal theories of information$91121432 997 $aUNINA
