Welcome from the Chairs
Presented by the International Society for Information Studies
Gothenburg, Sweden, 12-16 June 2017
The conference is organized by the International Society for Information Studies IS4SI, with the Department of Applied Information Technology, belonging to both Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg, as local organizer.
International Society for Information Studies is an organisation which advances global and collaborative studies in the sciences of information, information technology and information society as a field in its own right, elaborate common conceptual frameworks and implement them in practice, contributing to the development of a sustainable information society.
Chalmers University of Technology enjoys highest international recognition and attracts students and researchers from all over the world. The goal is to actively contribute to the sustainable development. The University of Gothenburg is an open university involved in a constant exchange of knowledge, education and ideas with the rest of society. The broad research, 37 000 students and 6 000 employees, make the university a large and inspiring environment.
Call for Participation
Digitalization for a Sustainable Society: Embodied, Embedded, Networked, Empowered through Information, Computation & Cognition!
Our global society becomes increasingly data–information– knowledge based. This is often called “digitalization” or “digital society”. What does digitalization mean for us as individuals, as societies and on a global scale, how does it affect our lives? Mobile devices, cloud computing, envisioned ”internet of things” and “internet of everything” have already started to generate what is commonly called “big data”. Intelligent objects speaking for themselves, communicating with each other are being developed to create “cyber physical systems” of “communicating things” – in the production, transportation and other infrastructures, in the city as a whole (“intelligent city”) and at home (“intelligent homes”).
What will be the human’s role in this emerging “digital” society? The social and technological innovations that are intended to boost cognition, communication and co-operation are ambiguous: their potential to advance information commons is not fully exploited. A breakthrough to a global, sustainable information society must establish an information commons as a cornerstone of a new programme for coping with the challenges of the information age.
Please visit https://is4si-2017.org/calls/ for full information
We aim at gathering different stakeholders to meet and discuss, to present the state of the art and to envisage possible futures. Networked we hope to expand our shared knowledge for promotion of sustainable digitalization of society.
The focus of the reflection of information studies is twofold:
– on the impact of the sciences of information and its dynamics (computation) as well as their role as meaning-generators (cognition).
– on the foundations of the sciences of information, computation, communication and cognition.
Summit is planned as gathering of workshops, conferences, tracks, poster sessions, demonstrations and similar, connected by common plenary talks, social events, exhibitions, discussions, etc.
We invite participants from research institutions, companies, civil society organizations and other stakeholders in the process of digitalization for sustainable development to:
Organize
- a conference stream
- a workshop
- a panel
- tutorial
- an exhibition
- poster session
- demonstration
- artistic event or similar
- support the meeting as a partner organisation

sciforum-011211 | Towards Information Ecosystem for Urban Planning——The Application of Video Data | , , , | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1. Introduction Urban planning is a subject which is highly relying on basic information. The main typical urban planning process consists of Survey, Analysis, Planning and Implementation. Over decades’ urban researchers usually focus on the process of “Planning” and “Implementation”, while less effort has been made in the “Survey” and “Analysis” part. In the meantime, most of the work only deal with one of the processes with other ones unconcerned. How to deal with the urban planning task as a whole, and achieve global optimization is crucial for modern urban planning. Information ecology is the study of interrelations among episodes of information conversion and their environment for better performance. Information ecology has been widely applied in the field of E-Commerce and Education to achieve global optimization, but has not yet been adopted in the field of urban planning. It is of great significance to examine the information unbalance in urban planning from the perspective of information ecology, which is helpful to the extensive collection and efficient use of information, and to accomplish more scientific, rigorous and effective planning. This work will adopt the ecological methodology to guide the research on urban planning. Specifically, the Information Eco-System of planning will be modeled and analyzed, and the special attention will be paid to the information unbalance problem of urban planning. Finally a solution will be given with additional discussion. 2. The problem of Urban Planning Information Eco-system 2.1 Information Eco-system Model of Urban Planning The whole urban planning process as an ecological system is referred to the conversion of” survey –analysis– planning- implementation”. In the beginning the information of objects in urban (e.g. residents, roads, streets, lands et al.) are collected by surveying and investigating. Then selected information are analyzed to form urban knowledge. With the support of the urban knowledge, researchers and managers could make a proper planning. The planning strategy would guide the urban construction and management, which is called planning implementation. Finally, the planning would affect the objects in urban. More walkable streets, more convenient instruction, more efficient transportation would make better urban life. Unfortunately, there is some important parts are missing in urban planning system. Consequently, the lack of information collection break the balance of the whole urban planning ecological chain and make the planning less successful. 2.2 Unbalance of the ecological chain—— Lack of human information The basic information of cities can be divided to two types——unhuman information and human information. The former contains road, land, infrastructure, et al., those are changed relatively slowly. The latter is mainly focused on the activity and mobility of residents, those are changed very rapidly and it is hard to track, measure and acquire. By the meantime, nowadays it is generally acknowledged that “human” has become the core of modern urban planning, instead of land or other entity objects. Modern urban projects which focused on residents’ quality of life need more human information than ever. Urban researchers have had to gain limited human information for decades because of limited sources, the disadvantaged technology and method. For example, the Chinese censes of the whole nation was taken every ten years. Many planning relied on data that cannot precisely reflect the present situation. The outdated and inaccurate data make the planning quantitative analysis unscientific and improper. 2.3. Solution For urban eco-system, optimizing information collection method is the key to achieve system balance. Using multisource data to analyze and measure human activity is one of the most important way. Over past few years more and more urban researchers have started to use many kinds of big/open data to make more efficient quantitative analysis on the urban project. Long et al. use mobile phone signal data to measure the population density at the street level. The same author applied smart card data and taxi traces to measure human mobility and activity. These big/open data-based urban studies have proposed new methods and significantly improved the urban planning quantitative analysis. However, those data still cannot provide enough information to support quantitative analysis in micro scale. For example, the result of street population distribution via mobile phone data can’t reflect the ground truth. Firstly it allocate all the people in a certain area into each street, which means people in the land are counted as ones on the streets but in fact they are not on the streets. Secondly it omit the group of people without mobile phone. Usually they could be kids under 10 and part of the aged. In micro scale, those deviation may lead to a bad or wrong conclusion. 3. Towards Information Ecosystem for Urban Planning——The Application of Video Data 3.1 A proposed scheme——Street Vibrancy Assessment based on Video Data Street Vibrancy is a typical urban planning element. It is an important topic which can measure the urban living quality. In street vibrancy quantitative research, in order to collect human mobility and activity information, some studies use field survey data and others use mobile phone data. Video data on the other hand, has many advantages. Firstly, compared with the conventional data it can get continuous record for much longer time. Secondly, it directly records the ground truth instead of using indirect data to speculate, avoiding braised results. Thirdly, it can provide more accurate details about the survey target especially in micro scale. The multi-dimensional data could get a better description about human activity and mobility. Here we propose a scheme called “Street Vibrancy Assessment based on Video Data”. It has three steps. Step 1: The whole research is set around a residential zone which contains numbers of streets. Firstly at least one camera are put on each street. The video should record the whole situation of the street cross-section for at least one week. The video data is analyzed by intelligent video analyze technology to get the different kinds of information, such as pedestrian flow and activity and emotion, e.g. Chosen information are put into a calculation formula to calculate a value to stand for street vibrancy. The higher the value, the better the street vibrancy. Step 2: First of all, the street vibrancy value can be used to monitor the street. If compared with other similar ones the value is very low, or the value suddenly changes and the change is very unusual, it will give an automatic warning to remind the urban manager that maybe some streets need optimized. On the other hand, each street has different constituent elements such as street cross-section type, sidewalk width, land use function, vehicle traffic situation et al. With the results above, the correlation could be found between the value and the constituent elements by regression analyze. The correlation will help the urban researcher to find out the main optimizing problems, to determine which one should be focused on, the cross-section or the function diversity or something else. Then, based on the basic information analyzing, strategies could be proposed after comprehensive analyzing. Step 3: After the planning and the implementation has been done, the street vibrancy value should become better. Put the former value and the present value together, the implementation effectiveness of the street optimization could be charged. 3.2 Implementation detail and discussion There are many kind of video analyzing technologies to achieve different kind of pedestrian appearance. In our proposed model, we define the street vibrancy Y as follows: Y=a1X1+a2X2+a3X3+…+anXn Where Xi stands for pedestrian appearance, ai is a parameter which indicates the pedestrian appearance influent the vibrancy. The values of parameters could be proposed by experience, then determined by analytic hierarchy process. It should be noticed that there is not always positive correlation between pedestrian appearance and the street vibrancy value. For example, the pedestrian flow indicates the account of people on the street, it is not ”the more, the better.”. If somewhere are very crowded, like one pushing another, very hard to move, then it is obviously that the whole street is not a public space full of vibrancy, which means on this situation the street vibrancy value of this street is low while the pedestrian flow is high. All relative constituent elements should be considered as street vibrancy impact factors. Here we list some, sidewalk cross-section type, commercial type (land use function), function density, function diversity, sidewalk width, sidewalk length, vehicle traffic situation. For example, (1) According to different function parades, streets could be classified into 4 or more types: A-buildings (walls)-sidewalk-roadway, B-buildings (door open)- sidewalk-roadway, C- walls-sidewalk-roadway, D- walls-green bell-sidewalk-roadway…. (2) The commercial type of the stores right along the streets is also important, because a grocery, a fruit store, or a restaurant is totally different from a carwash. Further analysis could be like below:
The results above can support many further research to guide the planning of enhancing street spatial quality, especially in micro scale, such as street walkability, quality of walking activity, street built environment. |

Digital technology is changing society and industry, but how big is the change and how fast will it come? Can we speak of a digital revolution comparable to the industrial revolution? Does it make sense to speak of data as the new oil? Will av world with Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data be so different as to warrant the talk of a digital revolution? What are the important challenges facing us, and how do we make the most of the new technologies? |

sciforum-012135 | The Case of Artificial vs. Natural Intelligence: Philosophy of Information as a Witness, Prosecutor, Attorney or Judge? | N/A |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The relationship between artificial and natural, human intelligence becomes currently an issue of the primary importance for the world. The threats of technological singularity in the form of ultraintelligent machines occupied many philosophers, but thus far nobody paid attention to the encroaching singularity of relatively low level automation which eliminates need for low skill labor force and threatens wide masses of human population. Economists predict that many occupations regarded as requiring high skills will become spurious too. The only solution for the optimal coexistence of the artificial and natural intelligence is in the reform of education. The solution does not require anything new as the liberal arts education promoted human intellectual development leading to the roles which machines least likely can assume. |

sciforum-010419 | An Analysis of the Controversy between "Nominalism" and "Realism" in Middle Ages from the Perspective of Information Philosophy |

Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
From the origin of ancient Greek philosophy to the philosophy of medieval ages, although it appeared the discussion of "nominalism" and "realism" in medieval times, the exploration of the concept of "objective but non-real" did not get further developed. From the view of the inherent integration of the unity of general rationality on science and philosophy, professor Wu Kun revived the concept of "objective but non-reality" and creatively developed his "philosophy of information" system. Because the existence of "objective but non-reality" is inherently a kind of "crossover" field in the traditional philosophy, it certainty solve the problems of traditional philosophy from the ontology, which will lead to the breakthrough in the fundamental paradigm in philosophy, and the philosophy begin its fundamental turn. |

ABOUT THE TOPICS
Digitalization for a Sustainable Society: Embodied, Embedded, Networked, Empowered through Information, Computation & Cognition!
Our global society becomes increasingly data–information– knowledge based. This is often called “digitalization” or “digital society”. What does digitalization mean for us as individuals, as societies and on a global scale, how does it affect our lives? Mobile devices, cloud computing, envisioned ”internet of things” and “internet of everything” have already started to generate what is commonly called “big data”. Intelligent objects speaking for themselves, communicating with each other are being developed to create “cyber physical systems” of “communicating things” – in the production, transportation and other infrastructures, in the city as a whole (“intelligent city”) and at home (“intelligent homes”).
What will be the human’s role in this emerging “digital” society? The social and technological innovations that are intended to boost cognition, communication and co-operation are ambiguous: their potential to advance information commons is not fully exploited. A breakthrough to a global, sustainable information society must establish an information commons as a cornerstone of a new programme for coping with the challenges of the information age.
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
We aim at gathering different stakeholders to meet and discuss, to present the state of the art and to envisage possible futures. Networked we hope to expand our shared knowledge for promotion of sustainable digitalization of society.
The focus of the reflection of information studies is twofold:
– on the impact of the sciences of information and its dynamics (computation) as well as their role as meaning-generators (cognition).
– on the foundations of the sciences of information, computation, communication and cognition.
Summit is planned as gathering of workshops, conferences, tracks, poster sessions, demonstrations and similar, connected by common plenary talks, social events, exhibitions, discussions, etc.
