Abstract

The ubiquity of the filing cabinet in the twentieth-century office space, along with its noticeable absence of style, has obscured its transformative role in the histories of both information technology and work. In the first in-depth history of this neglected artifact, Craig Robertson explores how the filing cabinet profoundly shaped the way that information and data have been sorted, stored, retrieved, and used. Invented in the 1890s, the filing cabinet was a result of the nineteenth-century faith in efficiency. Previously, paper records were arranged haphazardly: bound into books, stacked in piles, curled into slots, or impaled on spindles. The filing cabinet organized loose papers in tabbed folders that could be sorted alphanumerically, radically changing how people accessed, circulated, and structured information. Robertson's unconventional history of the origins of the information age posits the filing cabinet as an information storage container, an 'automatic memory' machine that contributed to a new type of information labor privileging manual dexterity over mental deliberation. Gendered assumptions about women's nimble fingers helped to naturalize the changes that brought women into the workforce as low-level clerical workers. The filing cabinet emerges from this unexpected account as a sophisticated piece of information technology and a site of gendered labor that with its folders, files, and tabs continues to shape how we interact with information and data in today's digital world.

Abstract

Dieses Buch präsentiert ein breites Spektrum aktueller Methoden zur Repräsentation und Verarbeitung (un)sicheren Wissens in maschinellen Systemen in didaktisch aufbereiteter Form. Neben symbolischen Ansätzen des nichtmonotonen Schließens (Default-Logik, hier konstruktiv und leicht verständlich mittels sog. Default-Bäume realisiert) werden auch ausführlich quantitative Methoden wie z.B. probabilistische Markov- und Bayes-Netze vorgestellt. Weitere Abschnitte beschäftigen sich mit Wissensdynamik (Truth Maintenance-Systeme), Aktionen und Planen, maschinellem Lernen, Data Mining und fallbasiertem Schließen.In einem vertieften Querschnitt werden zentrale alternative Ansätze einer logikbasierten Wissensmodellierung ausführlich behandelt. Detailliert beschriebene Algorithmen geben dem Praktiker nützliche Hinweise zur Anwendung der vorgestellten Ansätze an die Hand, während fundiertes Hintergrundwissen ein tieferes Verständnis für die Besonderheiten der einzelnen Methoden vermittelt . Mit einer weitgehend vollständigen Darstellung des Stoffes und zahlreichen, in den Text integrierten Aufgaben ist das Buch für ein Selbststudium konzipiert, eignet sich aber gleichermaßen für eine entsprechende Vorlesung. Im Online-Service zu diesem Buch werden u.a. ausführliche Lösungshinweise zu allen Aufgaben des Buches angeboten.Zahlreiche Beispiele mit medizinischem, biologischem, wirtschaftlichem und technischem Hintergrund illustrieren konkrete Anwendungsszenarien. Von namhaften Professoren empfohlen: State-of-the-Art bietet das Buch zu diesem klassischen Bereich der Informatik. Die wesentlichen Methoden wissensbasierter Systeme werden verständlich und anschaulich dargestellt. Repräsentation und Verarbeitung sicheren und unsicheren Wissens in maschinellen Systemen stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. In der vierten, verbesserten Auflage wurde die Anzahl der motivierenden Selbsttestaufgaben mit aktuellem Praxisbezug nochmals erweitert. Ein Online-Service mit ausführlichen Musterlösungen erleichtert das Lernen.

Abstract

What do primordial bacteria, medieval alchemists, and the World Wide Web have to do with each other? This fascinating exploration of how information systems emerge takes readers on a provocative journey through the history of the information age. Today's "information explosion" may seem like an acutely modern phenomenon, but we are not the first generation - nor even the first species - to wrestle with the problem of information overload. Long before the advent of computers, human beings were collecting, storing, and organizing information: from Ice Age taxonomies to Sumerian archives, Greek libraries to Dark Age monasteries. Today, we stand at a precipice, as our old systems struggle to cope with what designer Richard Saul Wurman called a "tsunami of data."With some historical perspective, however, we can begin to understand our predicament not just as the result of technological change, but as the latest chapter in an ancient story that we are only beginning to understand. Spanning disciplines from evolutionary theory and cultural anthropology to the history of books, libraries, and computer science, writer and information architect Alex Wright weaves an intriguing narrative that connects such seemingly far-flung topics as insect colonies, Stone Age jewelry, medieval monasteries, Renaissance encyclopedias, early computer networks, and the World Wide Web. Finally, he pulls these threads together to reach a surprising conclusion, suggesting that the future of the information age may lie deep in our cultural past. To counter the billions of pixels that have been spent on the rise of the seemingly unique World Wide Web, journalist and information architect Wright delivers a fascinating tour of the many ways that humans have collected, organized and shared information for more than 100,000 years to show how the information age started long before microchips or movable type. A self-described generalist who displays an easy familiarity with evolutionary biology and cultural anthropology as well as computer science and technology, Wright explores the many and varied roots of the Web, including how the structure of family relationships from Greek times, among others, has exerted a profound influence on the shape and structure of human information systems. He discusses how the violent history of libraries is the best lesson in how hierarchical systems collapse and give rise to new systems, and how the new technology of the book introduced the notion of random access to information. And he focuses on the work of many now obscure information-gathering pioneers such as John Wilkins and his Universal Categories and Paul Otlet, the Internet's forgotten forefather, who anticipated many of the problems bedeviling the Web today.
