Uncertainty and information: Foundations of generalized information theory
The book is truly an outstanding work giving a comprehensive exposition of a “generalized information theory” (GIT) having been developed in the early 1990s by Klir. The theory addresses the issue of information-based uncertainty and uncertainty-based information in their various manifestations. The book is organized in ten chapters. Chapter 1 provides the roots, motivations, framework, relevan...

متن کاملFoundations of Information Theory
Information has become the most precious resource of society. At the same time, there is no consensus on the meaning of the term " information, " and many researchers have considered problems of information definition. This results in a quantity of contradictions, misconceptions, and paradoxes related to the world of information. To remedy the situation, a new approach in information theory, wh...
متن کاملComplexity over Uncertainty in Generalized Representational Information Theory (GRIT): A Structure-Sensitive General Theory of Information
What is information? Although researchers have used the construct of information liberally to refer to pertinent forms of domain-specific knowledge, relatively few have attempted to generalize and standardize the construct. Shannon and Weaver (1949) offered the best known attempt at a quantitative generalization in terms of the number of discriminable symbols required to communicate the state o...
