SECOND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
GENERAL INFORMATION: The First International Conference on the Dynamics of
Information Systems will take place from Wednesday January 28 thru Friday
January 30, 2009 in Gainesville, Florida, U.S.A. This 3 day event is
sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Center for Applied
Optimization of the University of Florida, and Raytheon, Inc.
In this conference we are interested in how information, usually in the
form of sensing and control, influences the evolution of a distributed or
networked system. Fundamentally, the conference will examine the
potential influence information has on the system and how that information
flows through a system and is modified in time and space. Concepts that
increase our knowledge of the relational aspects of information as opposed
to the entropic content of information will be the focus of the
conference. Dynamics of Information plays an increasingly critical role in
our society. Networks affect our lives every day. The influence of
information on social, biological, genetic, and military systems must be
better understood to achieve large advances in the capability and
understanding of these systems. Applications are wide-spread and include:
the detection of terrorist networks, the design of highly functioning
businesses and computer networks, modeling the distributed sensory and
control physiology of animals, quantum entanglement, genome modeling,
multi-robotic systems, and industrial and manufacturing safety.
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists and
engineers from industry, government, and universities to exchange
knowledge and results in a broad range of topics relevant to the theory
and practice of the dynamics of information systems. The conference will
result in a published refereed book containing material summarizing
conference participants' research in the dynamics of information systems.
