Synopsis

This volume contains contributions based on presentations made at the conference on multidisciplinary aspects of information theory held in Cottbus, Germany, March 1994, and organized by the German Society for System Research and the Working Group for Physics and Computer Science. The papers have been carefully revised after a second discussion procedure and they present important information on theoretical, physical, biological, philosophical, linguistical and sociological basic properties of information. Most of the papers aim at presenting a coherent system–theoretical understanding of information as an entity in computer science as well as in physics. The outlines of a theory of pragmatic information are also developed.
