2023 International Summit on the Study of Information
International Society for the Study of Information (IS4SI)
The International Society for the Study of Information is an umbrella organization of scientists and other scholars, research institutions, practitioners and society at large worldwide dedicated to trans-disciplinary global study of information for the good of humanity, through the dialog between disciplines and respect for the complementary views on its complex problems. The study of information comprises all areas that use a scientific methodology to understand, explain and model information processes in natural, social and artificial systems for the (re-)design of those processes.
The IS4SI Summits are regularly scheduled, biannual academic events consisting of several coordinated and co-located conferences on the subject of information integrated by plenary lectures and discussions, intended as a forum for the exchange of ideas and sharing knowledge about recent developments and achievements in the research on information. The Summits reflect diverse perspectives and methodological frameworks of this research and aspire to foster cooperation, integration, and cross-fertilization in this domain of study.
1. The International Summit for The Study of Information
Information is a fundamental natural resource, essential for humans and all living beings. Since raw information can be processed into new complex products, like knowledge, strategy, intelligence, etc., the significance of information is therefore even higher for human society. The study of information processes is thus a key issue for the information era.
The International Summit for The Study of Information (IS4SI) is a biannual series of international congresses, dedicated to bringing experts worldwide together to exchange ideas, share progress, explore future trends in the Information Discipline, as well as facilitating collaborations between participants to meet new challenges. Each of the previous Summits attracted a large number of enthusiastic participants of all ages and achieved substantial success.
2. The Sponsor, Supporter and Organizer of ISSI’2023
The Summit is sponsored by the International Society for the Study of Information (IS4SI) and cooperated by the editorial offices of MDPI Journals of Information, Entropy, Mathematics and Philosophy, and also by Asia-pacific Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA), which very well represents scientists, professors, engineers, technologists, managers, experts and students from all over the world in the fields related to the study of information.
The 2023 International Summit on the Study of Information (ISSI’2023) is organized by IS4SI’s Chapter in Beijing, China and will be held from Monday, August 14 through Friday, August 18 , 2023 in Beijing. The Summit will consist of a series of academic fora, technical exhibits, and the organization of cooperative projects on-line, and/or off-line if allowed.
3. Call for Contributions
All researchers involved or interested in the study of information are welcome to submit their abstracts of papers of not less than 2000 words to the Summit. The abstracts will be peer reviewed by the Program Committees of the Summit and the most important abstracts will be selected for oral presentation.
These abstracts will be published in the Proceedings of the Summit. The best presentations will be selected for publication as the Chapters in a book in a series published by World Scientific Press, or recommended to the Journals of Information, Entropy, Mathematics, and Philosophies as well as others.
4. Theme of the ISSI’2023 Summit: Paradigm Change in Information Discipline
“Paradigm Change in the Information Discipline” has been selected as the Theme of the ISSI’2023 Summit by the sponsor and organizer because there have been many different demands to clarify the scientific view and methodology, which are together termed “paradigm”, in the study of information discipline and the physical discipline. A lecture explaining the Theme will be scheduled at the opening session of the Summit.
All participants are warmly welcome to join the discussions on this topic, and make contributions to, the conference theme in their papers.
