An Interdisciplinary Curriculum in Science Informatics

We are developing a curriculum in science informatics that cuts across disciplinary boundaries to educate students in the computational character of the scientific enterprise. We are designing courses that cover: the storage, retrieval, and analysis of scientific data; the representation of scientific models and their use for prediction and explanation; the forms of communication and interactio...

Interdisciplinary Meandering in Science

I was a graduate student in mathematics at Princeton immediately following World War II, 1945–1947. In those days, with veterans of the war inundating universities, there was no option but to earn a Ph.D. within two years. My thesis research was in functional analysis, an area of abstract mathematics. My mentor was Professor S. Bochner, a distinguished contributor to harmonic analysis. My class...

Relevance: An Interdisciplinary and Information Science Perspective

Although relevance has represented a key concept in the field of information science for evaluating information retrieval effectiveness, the broader context established by interdisciplinary frameworks could provide greater depth and breadth to on-going research in the field. This work provides an overview of the nature of relevance in the field of information science with a cursory view of how ...
