This paper discusses scientific, social and technological aspects of memory. Recent developments in our understanding of memory processes and mechanisms, and their digital implementation, have placed the encoding, storage, management and retrieval of information at the forefront of several fields of research. At the same time, the divisions between the biological, physical and the digital world...

The constantly growing amount of Web content and the success of the Social Web lead to increasing needs for Web archiving. These needs go beyond the pure preservation of Web pages. Web archives are turning into “community memories” that aim at building a better understanding of the public view on, e.g., celebrities, court decisions, and other events. In this paper we present the ARCOMEM archite...

We develop analytical and computational models to study the conditions for the stability of a population consisting of agents with heterogeneous preferences. The analytical models that utilize an indirect evolutionary approach show that the ability to detect others’ types is critical for the evolution of reciprocal preferences. The computational models of this paper incorporate agents’ memories...

Abstract Authenticity, or being true to oneself, relies on integrating autobiographical memories into a coherent life-story. These serve three adaptive functions: self-identity, social connection and directing behaviour in the future. But little is known about how memory subjective sense of authenticity interact. Using between-subjects experimental design, we compared authentic inauthentic mome...
