The papers present information on the theoretical, physical, biological, philosophical, linguistical and sociological basic properties of information. Most of the papers aim to present a coherent system-theoretical understanding of information as an entity in computer science as well as in physics. The outlines of a theory about pragmatic information are also developed.
This volume is based on contributions presented at the conference about multidisciplinary aspects of information theory in Cottbus, Germany, March 1994. Theoretical, physical, biological, philosophical, linguistical and sociological aspects of information are focused toward an extended understanding of information as a crucial concept.

Booknews: With the goal of constructing a coherent, systematic, and theoretical understanding of information as an entity in computer science and physics, describes its basic theoretical, physical, biological, philosophical, linguistic, and sociological properties. Some of the specific topics are the information processing of cosmic signals, the context-dependence of biological information, simple and complex models in science, and the genesis of information structures. The 19 papers are revised from their presentation at a multi-organization conference in Cottbus, Germany, May 1994. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
