Abstract: The process of spectra extraction into catalogs from astronomical images, its difficulties and usage on the Digitized First Byurakan Survey (DFBS) plates are presented. The DFBS is the largest and the first systematic objective prism survey of the extragalactic sky. The large amount of photometric data is useful for variability studies and revealing new variables in the observed fields. New high proper motion stars can be discovered by a comparison of many observations of different observatories having large separation in years. The difficulty of DFBS images extraction is that extraction tools and programs are not adapted for such kind of plates. Astronomical images extraction process with usage of the Source Extractor (SE) tool is presented in this paper. The specificity of DFBS plates is that objects are presented in low-dispersion spectral form. It does not allow extraction tools to detect the objects exact coordinates and there is need of coordinates’ correction. Apart this, it is required to configure SExtractor for current type of the plates so, that the output results be as close to real as possible. The extraction of DFBS plates will allow the creation of astronomical catalogs’ database, which can be cross-correlated with known catalogs for investigation of the changes on sky during the years.

Abstract: Membrane computing is an area of natural computing, which solves NP-complete problems simulating permeability of live cells membranes. Different researchers have developed architectures to distribute membranes in clusters. They have studied, at theoretical level, the system behavior and the minimum time it would take to executing. In this paper proposes the use of genetic algorithms to distribute membranes in processors, thanks to their evolving capacities, they achieve distributions better than random distribution. Theoretical results are compared with a set of examples, noting improvement that genetic algorithms produce on these systems and how architectures are beneficial from execution viewpoint.

Abstract: Within the membrane computing research field, there are many papers about software simulations and a few about hardware implementations. In both cases, algorithms for implementing membrane systems in software and hardware that try to take advantages of massive parallelism are implemented. P-systems are parallel and non deterministic systems which simulate membranes behavior when processing information. This paper presents software techniques based on the proper utilization of virtual memory of a computer. There is a study of how much virtual memory is necessary to host a membrane model. This method improves performance in terms of time.

Abstract: At present there is a deficiency in the field of scientific theories that support software development. On the other hand, the few existing scientific theories do not provide methodological support for all phases in software development. It is necessary to combine both aspects and develop a methodology, supported by a scientific theory, which extends these methodological support to all phases of software life cycle. The proposed Software Development methodology combines Holons and Informons theory with GAIA, a well known methodology in the field of MultiaAgent? Systems (MAS). The elements defined in scientific theory are used in the description of the software development phases included in GAIA, extending them to complete the software life cycle. Analysis, Architectural Design and Detailed Design phases of GAIA have been completed with Requirements Elicitation and Implementation phases, the latter based on the AUML standard. In this way we obtain a complete methodology supported by a scientific theory that allows develop software systems based on Holonic Integrated Systems (HIS).

Abstract: Data visualization has direct link to data interface, data capture, data analysis, and data presentation. At the present time there is still a huge gap between our ability to extract answers and our ability to present the information in meaningful ways. There is consensus that future breakthroughs will come from integrated solutions that allow end users to explore data using graphical metaphors - the goal is to unify data mining algorithms and visual human interfaces. The main purpose of our paper is to discuss one approach to that “breakthrough”. The paper uses data from recent UK parliamentary elections to illustrate the approach.

Abstract: In this report we observe the possibilities offered by cognitive methodology of modeling of complex systems (social and economic, sociotechnical) and the developed software from positions of process of knowledge of complex object, and also extraction of different aspects of knowledge from the data about an object. The maintenance and program of researching of complex systems are set in the form of model of a metaset of the researching system, which distinctive feature is the description not only of big system and its interaction with environment, but also introduction in a metaset of "observer" that allows to build methodology of research and decision-making taking into account development of process of knowledge of object in consciousness of the researcher. Generally the model of the complex system is under construction in the form of hierarchical dynamical cognitive model. The mathematical model is exposed to formal researches. Connectivity, complexity, controllability, stability, sensitivity, adaptability and other properties of model on which the conclusion about presence (absence) of similar properties at studied big system becomes are analyzed. In the course of research self-training of the analyst ("observer") takes place by using developed toolkit for extraction of knowledge of object and decision-making.

Abstract: Knowledge management is aimed at the sustainable development and competitiveness increasing of an organization, a state, a human. The appropriateness of knowledge application for solving a new class of complete ill-structured qualitative problems in weak-structured domains is noted, for example, of many problems in the social (organizational) systems, ecological systems; for the information society creation; creating and implementing new informational technologies; for improving the management and many others. To solve such problems is also needed a preliminary information-analytical phase, of taking into account the semantics of information and the application of new effective system methodology - systemology, which corresponds to the new noospheric stage of science development. The sections of this work are meaningfully combined, in the first place, by using the new method of systemological classification analysis for the knowledge systematization and conceptual models creation, taking into account the criteria of natural classification. The method of systemological classification analysis, for example, allows obtaining new deep knowledge and systematizing the knowledge in any domain the most adequately and objectively, taking into account the essential properties and relations. Using the systemological classification analysis allows evaluating any knowledge classification, to take into account the objects essential properties and relations; to predict the new objects on the base on their properties. New constructive criteria of natural classification allow creating "correct" classifications, which in all spheres of application ensure the effectiveness of solving problems. The examples of systemology and systemological classification analysis application are proposed for creating the domain ontological models - social networks, change management, human needs, directly related to knowledge management, as well as during the development the online store products and services catalog. When using systemology in change management, the organizations can obtain weighty benefits. The application of systemological classification analysis in social networks allows increasing the effectiveness of their functioning based on the use of knowledge systematization (through the development of an effective system of functions and menus). All this will help the company to increase significantly its intellectual capital without using large investments.

Abstract: Further progress in AI research requires more complete and comprehensive study of information interactions in nature, not confined to psyche and intellect of individuals. One should not ignore evidences in favor of "unconventional" information interactions. The paper deals with two aspects of this research: from the viewpoint of physics of the microworld, and improving accuracy and correctness of the experimental studies. Is introduced the concept of "natural science" God - God-ICS. Are examined some arguments in favor of fundamental information field existence. Is considered the concept of non-locality, introduced in quantum mechanics, “spooky action at a distance” and experiments admittedly demonstrating their reality. Proposed is an idea of the RNG-controlled two-slit experiment. The relation between reality and modeling it theories is specified, which quantum mechanics still manages to safely get around. Critically considered is one of the well-documented experiments on registration of psychic phenomena, identified is the need for careful research and parameters selection for control random sequences. Ignoring this aspect may lead to erroneous conclusions regarding the "detection" of phenomena on the verge of accuracy and reliability of measurements, uncertainties in their statistical representativeness. Proposals for further research in this area are formulated.

GOD-ICS. ON FUNDAMENTAL INFORMATION FIELD QUEST

Vitaliy Lozovskiy

http://www.foibg.com/ijita/vol18/ijita18-2-p02.pdf

Abstract: At the 4th International Conference on the Foundations of Information Science in Beijing, August, 2010, Professor Wu Kun of the Xi’an Jiaotong University presented, for the first time in English, the results of some thirty years of research on the theory and philosophy of information. In particular, Wu’s theory (Basic Theory of the Philosophy of Information; BTPI) focuses on the natural ontological properties of information, and their importance for a proper understanding of the function of information in society. When describing my recent extension of logic to real process systems (Logic in Reality; LIR), including information, at the same Conference, I noted that Wu’s approach embodied many critical aspects of this logic, to which its normative principles apply. In this paper, I provide a summary of the Wu Basic Theory that defines a Philosophy of Information as a Metaphilosophy. The latter is not directed toward the codification of such a metaphilosophy as yet another static discipline or body of knowledge. It is rather an attitude toward the positioning of information as encompassing a critical component of all disciplines, beyond the scientific content specific to them. The Metaphilosophy of Information, then, describes primarily an attitude or stance, which I have termed the Informational Stance, that requires attention to the informational aspects of complex processes as a methodological necessity, in a process that Wu calls Informational Thinking. The Informational Stance, in my view, is thus a philosophical stance that is most appropriate for, and above all not separated nor isolated from, the emerging science and philosophy of information itself, for which I show that Logic in Reality is the appropriate logic. My major conclusion is that the BTPI of Wu, his new informational view of the need for unification of critical disciplines and their formulation as a metaphilosophy constitute a major contribution, as yet unrecognized outside China, to the General Theory of Information that is the subject of this Conference. The theories described in this paper may constitute part of a new transdisciplinary paradigm, in which information has a central role. Application of my interpretation of logic together with Wu’s metaphilosophy of information could contribute to resolving critical outstanding issues in the field of information and provide further support for an ethical development of the emerging Information Society.

Abstract: Aggregate characteristics of discrete models appearing in different artificial intelligence problems are considered. It is shown that if an investigated object is a collection of its elements and its description contains properties of these elements and relations between them then a predicate calculus language is convinient for its simulation. In such a case a lot of problems are NP-hard. Upper bounds of steps for two essentially different decision algorithms are presented. A problem of transformation of an investigated object and the number of its decision steps is regarded. A many-level approach (consisting in the extraction of subformulas of goal conditions) to the decision of these problems is described. It allows to decrease the used time.

Abstract: The connection of the AI problem with the group of actual unresolved scientific problems generated by latent fundamental crisis owing to general nonlegitimacy of modern Science is investigated. It is shown that such problems are solvable only jointly and their instrument is the part of AI. The legitimizing universal theory (model) of the World and the World phenomena on the basis of harmonious representations in which all the variety of the World can be essentially formally deduced from the most general properties of the World in the form of objective system of World definitions (concepts, abstracts) is developed. If such model was earlier used for a manual deduction of concepts, then the foundations for their formal generation are investigated in the given paper. The structure, components, development and comprehensive substantiation of such hypothetical model that already has a lot of theoretical and practical applications and prospects in many fields are considered.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND UNRESOLVED SCIENTIFIC PROBLEMS

Alexander V. Sosnitsky

http://www.foibg.com/ijita/vol18/ijita18-1-p07.pdf

Abstract: We established by function analytical methods that maximally structured assemblies number differently many logical constellations in dependence of the human’s interpretation of the symbols structuring the objects. If the human spectator reads into a multitude of symbols on objects the interpretation that the objects are to be read sequentially, he arrives at a different result relative to the result he arrives at if he supposes that the objects are not sequential but commutative. The intrinsic meaning of the dichotomy commutative – sequential is of such basic importance in Nature that in fact the human perception uses this linkage while it structures and interprets the impulses rendered by the sensory organs. The new approach discounts and actively counterbalances the neurological preferences of the brain and creates a logical-numerical model which accommodates the less pleasing aspects of logical objects, too. We created a logical tool which demonstrates the inner interdependence between quality and place. We discuss a basic logical problem, namely, the space-matter interdependence. The same logical operation is at work behind different views of the same problem: “where is what?” The matter-space interdependence offers conceptual solutions to questions in a wide range of applied sciences. For genetics, it may be helpful by showing that the natural unit of translocation is a triplet of arguments. We expand the discussion of the logical sentence a+b=c, the usual foreground, by the expression u=b-a, k=u-b, t=u+k=2b-3a, q=a-2b, s=17-c, w=2a-3b, the background, for the first 136 additions (a1..16, b1..16). We use the arguments kutqsw as freely as abc to sort on. We compare the changes in relative positions of each instance of a+b=c within the collection of additions. The place changes resulting from a resort are a realisation of the change in the relative importance of the arguments, which is denoted by the position of the argument within the sequence of arguments. Using the logical parameters abckutqsw as a sequence and permutating the arguments, one observes that not only the position, but also the number of .t. values changes in the implicated table of identities of sorting orders. The findings allow a logical approach to the terms “structure”, “time”, “translation table linear sequence – spatial structure”. The positions of logical markers are indeed dependent on the sequence of logical arguments.

LOGICAL STRUCTURE OF CHROMOSOMES

Karl Javorszky

http://www.foibg.com/ijita/vol18/ijita18-1-p06.pdf

Abstract: This is an attempt to develop a systematic formal theory of information based on philosophical foundations adequate for the broad context of pre-systematic concept of information. The existing formalisms, in particular that commonly called information theory, consider only some aspects of information, such as its measure. In spite of spectacular successes of Shannon’s entropy and its generalizations, the quantitative description did not help in the development of the formal description of the concept of information itself. In this paper, the brief review of the contexts in which the term information is being used is followed by similarly brief presentation of philosophical foundations incorporating such aspects of information as its selective and structural manifestations, information integration and semantics of information presented in more extensive form in other publications of the author. Finally, based on these foundations, a mathematical formalism is proposed with an explanation of its relationship to the philosophical concepts associated with information. The formalism utilizing mathematical concepts from the theory of closure spaces and associated with them complete lattices of closed subsets playing the role of generalized logic of information is taking into consideration the selective and structural manifestations of information. Since the original source of inspiration in the development of the formalism was in quantum logics, an outline of concepts in this domain is included in the appendix.

FROM PHILOSOPHY TO THEORY OF INFORMATION

Marcin J. Schroeder

http://www.foibg.com/ijita/vol18/ijita18-1-p05.pdf

Abstract: Philosophy-of-information considerations can analyse information concepts according to four ways of thinking. A Unified Theory of Information (UTI) requires the fourth way of thinking – integration. This integration can be performed, if a complex systems view is informed by the heuristics of a historical and logical account. In particular, the terms of “difference” or “variety”, negentropy and semiosis are used for integration. Reference is made to Gregory Bateson, Arkady D. Ursul, Edgar Morin, and Charles Sanders Peirce. An integrated information definition is presented. Information is defined as relation such that an Evolutionary System se (signator; the signmaker) reflects (1) some perturbation P (signandum/signatum; (to-be-)signified (2) by the order O it builds up spontaneously (signans; the sign) (3) for the sake of negentropy. The process of information-generation coincides with the process of sign-production and both coincide with the process of self-organisation; so do their respective results: information, sign, and self-organised order. The concepts of self-organisation and information (sign) turn out to be co-extensive. The notion “emergent information” is applied to characterise the complexity of information processes that proceed between determinacy and indeterminacy. Since information generation is a process that allows novelty to emerge, it is worth noting that it is not a mechanical process that can be formalised, expressed by a mathematical function, or carried out by a computer.

EMERGENT INFORMATION SOME SYSTEM-THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT AN INTEGRATIVE INFORMATION CONCEPT

Abstract: The emphasis of this paper is on the analysis and characterization of information as a natural and social operator, especially in areas of current interest of information science and in the individual cognitive and group domains. We first present an extensive classification of operators according to various criteria including function and target. Support for our approach comes from a recently proposed extension of logic to real phenomena, Logic in Reality (LIR). By focusing on the nature and properties of operators in social environment, such as organizations and networks, we acquire a possibility to achieve a more rigorous logical discussion of evolutionary processes in the knowledge-centered Information Society, demonstrate abundance of natural operators, explain how information operates in nature, and analyze the intentionality of information in human operators. Explicit references to operators have not generally been made in currently discussed theories of information, except to the extent that ascription of effective causal properties to information implies the existence of agents and hence of operators. We examine three representative theories of semantic, semiotic and pragmatic information from this perspective. The concept of information-as-operators is proposed in this paper as a contribution to the discussion of the general properties of information. It is not intended as a complete General Theory of Information, but it is compatible with theories that emphasize the ontological, causal powers of information processes.

Abstract: Finding the place of information in the world is an important philosophical and methodological problem. Some authors relate information only to society. Others also include the level of individual human beings. In contrast to this, many presume that information is everywhere in nature. In this paper, we treat this problem, taking it at a different level of placing information in the structure of the world. Consequently, at first, we describe the global structure of the world and then find the place of information in this structure. In addition, we consider structure of information processes, as well as relations between information and basic constituents of the world, such as matter, energy, mentality and knowledge Keywords: information, logic, operator, natural, society

INFORMATION IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD

Mark Burgin

http://www.foibg.com/ijita/vol18/ijita18-1-p02.pdf

Abstract: New abstractions and new procedures for abstraction are needed in information science. Some of them should concern the nature and function of knowledge regarding the adaptability of complex, informational entities. Knowledge “in action” manifests itself as an improved adaptability of the informational entity to its environment, and as a redirection and enlargement of its self-construction processes. If taken beyond its usual anthropocentric conception, knowledge not only underlies the guidance of human actions and perceptions within appropriately restricted cognitive settings (or disciplinary fields), it also orientates –among others– the biomolecular happenstances of cells, and the processual workings of individual nervous systems. And it does so, as will be argued here, by incurring in a peculiar dynamics of similar recombination processes performed upon heterogeneous repositories of very different physical nature, which factually increase the cognizing reach of the concerned informational entity and leverage the conquest of further adaptability niches and complexity developments. Actually the growth of informational complexity of cells, nervous systems, and societies along their respective evolutionary, ontogenetic, and historical trajectories has been based on the cumulative consequences of knowledge recombination phenomena. However, the recognition of this commonality has been obscured, among other causes, by the structural and dynamic heterogeneity of repositories in the different informational entities, and by being subject of quite separated scientific disciplines: molecular and evolutionary biology, cognitive neurodynamics, philosophy of science/”geography” of science. In the extent to which such commonalities may be elucidated from a new vantage point, it would help in the development of information science itself, as well as in the pragmatics of education, in the social organization of science, and in the research effort of contemporary societies. Finally, the new term of “scientomics” is proposed in order to capture the knowledge combinatory processes and disciplinary mixings within the sciences.

Если глазное давление при глаукоме вовремя не снизить до нормы, может погибнуть зрительный нерв, что приведет к необратимой слепоте. На сегодняшний день предложен принципиально новый способ измерения внутриглазного давления, базирующийся на обследовании роговицы глаза человека в поляризованном свете, что позволяет видеть на ней специфическую интерференционную картину. В работе авторами предлагается метод, позволяющий провести распознавание изображения глаза человека, отснятого в поляризованном свете, и выделить на исходном изображении данные, необходимые для разработки системы бесконтактного измерения внутриглазного давления. Проведенный анализ показал, что на сегодняшний день не существует аналогов реализации данного метода. Программная реализация метода позволит разработать программно-аппаратный комплекс, на порядок превосходящий существующие аналоги по стоимости и простоте исполнения, а также бесконтактно, быстро и точно измерять внутриглазное давление.

Abstract: The purpose of discussed optimal valid partitioning (OVP) methods is uncovering of ordinal or continuous explanatory variables effect on outcome variables of different types. The OVP approach is based on searching partitions of explanatory variables space that in the best way separate observations with different levels of outcomes. Partitions of single variables ranges or two-dimensional admissible areas for pairs of variables are searched inside corresponding families. Statistical validity associated with revealed regularities is estimated with the help of permutation test repeating search of optimal partition for each permuted dataset. Method for output regularities selection is discussed that is based on validity evaluating with the help of two types of permutation tests.

Abstract: A novel association rule mining algorithm is composed, using the unit cube chain decomposition structures introduced in HAN, 1966; TON, 1976. HAN, 1966 established the chain split theory. TON, 1976 invented an excellent chain computation framework which brings chain split into the practical domain. We integrate these technologies around the rule mining procedures. Effectiveness is related to the intention of low complexity of rules mined. Complexity of the procedure composed is complementary to the known Apriori algorithm which is defacto standard in rule mining area.

Abstract: Prognostic procedures can be based on ranked linear models. Ranked regression type models are designed on the basis of feature vectors combined with set of relations defined on selected pairs of these vectors. Feature vectors are composed of numerical results of measurements on particular objects or events. Ranked relations defined on selected pairs of feature vectors represent additional knowledge and can reflect experts' opinion about considered objects. Ranked models have the form of linear transformations of feature vectors on a line which preserve a given set of relations in the best manner possible. Ranked models can be designed through the minimization of a special type of convex and piecewise linear (CPL) criterion functions. Some sets of ranked relations cannot be well represented by one ranked model. Decomposition of global model into a family of local ranked models could improve representation. A procedures of ranked models decomposition is described in this paper.
