Information Systems is concerned with information, language and cognitive
systems.
Its central goal is promoting the development of general theories of
complex systems and quantitative methodologies for communication research
in a variety of domains. This focus brings together people with a wide
range of interests and specialties. Member interests include: studies
of information flows, the human interface with communication technology,
and life in an information society: cognition, including information
processing of direct and mediated communication and the construction
of cognitive models; artificial intelligence applications in language,
logic, and reasoning; modeling and study of interaction systems.
Members have pioneered analytical techniques in areas of network analysis,
information theory, structural modeling, interaction analysis, content
analysis and linguistic data processing systems. Issues in the philosophy
of science, cybernetic epistemology, theory and ethics are regular concerns
as well.
