Statements on Knowledge

(Delegates and other contributors)

“Knowledge and content are the primary long-term targets and values.

Therefore, we need support from powerful and secure information technology on the long run.” International EULISP post-graduate participants, ISSC, European Legal Informatics Study Programme, Leibniz Universit¨ at Hannover, Germany.

“The useful information that can be used in reasoning to infer further knowledge. Furthermore, not all the knowledge can be explicitly formalized as the term covers also the human intuition. (recursive/general concept)”

Przemys law Skurowski, Micha l Staniszewski, Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland.

“Knowledge is created from a subjective combination of different attainments as there are intuition, experience, information, education, decision, power of persuasion . . . which are selected, compared and balanced against each other, which are transformed and interpreted.

Authentic knowledge therefore does not exist, it always has to be enlived again. Knowledge must not be confused with information or data which can be stored.”

Statements on Computing

(Delegates and other contributors)

“Methodologies and devices applicable for universal automatic manipulation and processing of data.” International EULISP post-graduate participants, ISSC, European Legal Informatics Study Programme, Leibniz Universit¨ at Hannover, Germany.

“The whole area of methods and technological means used for information processing. The key aspect that makes the difference between computing and the information processing in humans or biology systems is the fact that computing has usually well defined purpose and goal.” Przemys law Skurowski, Micha l Staniszewski, Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland.

“A tool for numerical practice. In High Performance Computing,

supercomputers -i.e., computer systems at the upper performance limit of

currently feasible processing capacity- are employed to solve challenging

scientific problems.” Claus-Peter R¨ uckemann, Friedrich H¨ ulsmann, Birgit

Delegates’ Summit: Best Practice and Definitions of Knowledge and Computing Conclusions, Discussion, Networking

Conclusions, Discussion, Networking

Knowledge and Computing

Knowledge related information is transferable – by good reason information scientists / and publishers constantly keep backlists up-to-date (reservoir of non-qualified non-persistant information atoms).

Computing is algorithms, processing, workflows, technologies, and compute resources – by good reason scientists and service providers keep programming modular and documented separately from individual resources.

The content / knowledge do have the highest values.

Computing usually has well defined purposes and goals.

A sustainable holistic solution requires long-term structures, documentation, and methodologies for modular, universal, multi-disciplinary components.

Future implementation will focus on the documentation of the facets

of knowledge (factual, conceptual, procedural, metacognitive),

formalisation, and on the universal applicability of technologies and

highly performant, intelligent, and autonomous computing tools.

Networking and Outlook

Thank you for your attention!

Wish you an inspiring conference and a pleasant stay on Rhodos!

Looking forward to seeing you again next year for the

Symposium on Advanced Computation and Information!

Knowledge and Computing

(Delegates and other contributors)

“Knowledge is created from a subjective combination of different attainments as there are intuition, experience, information, education, decision, power of persuasion and so on, which are selected, compared and balanced against each other, which are transformed, interpreted, and used in reasoning, also to infer further knowledge. Therefore, not all the knowledge can be explicitly formalised. Knowledge and content are multi- and inter-disciplinary long-term targets and values. In practice, powerful and secure information technology can support knowledge-based works and values.”

“Computing means methodologies, technological means, and devices applicable for universal automatic manipulation and processing of data and information. Computing is a practical tool and has well defined purposes and goals.”
