Download or read book Understanding Information written by Alfons Josef Schuster and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motivation of this edited book is to generate an understanding about information, related concepts and the roles they play in the modern, technology permeated world. In order to achieve our goal, we observe how information is understood in domains, such as cosmology, physics, biology, neuroscience, computer science, artificial intelligence, the Internet, big data, information society, or philosophy. Together, these observations form an integrated view so that readers can better understand this exciting building-block of modern-day society. On the surface, information is a relatively straightforward and intuitive concept. Underneath, however, information is a relatively versatile and mysterious entity. For instance, the way a physicist looks at information is not necessarily the same way as that of a biologist, a neuroscientist, a computer scientist, or a philosopher. Actually, when it comes to information, it is common that each field has its domain specific views, motivations, interpretations, definitions, methods, technologies, and challenges. With contributions by authors from a wide range of backgrounds, Understanding Information: From the Big Bang to Big Data will appeal to readers interested in the impact of ‘information’ on modern-day life from a variety of perspectives.

Download or read book Information Technology and Data in Healthcare written by David Hartzband and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare transformation requires us to continually look at new and better ways to manage insights – both within and outside the organization. Increasingly, the ability to glean and operationalize new insights efficiently as a byproduct of an organization’s day-to-day operations is becoming vital for hospitals and health systems to survive and prosper. One of the long-standing challenges in healthcare informatics has been the ability to deal with the sheer variety and volume of disparate healthcare data and the increasing need to derive veracity and value out of it. This book addresses several topics important to the understanding and use of data in healthcare. First, it provides a formal explanation based on epistemology (theory of knowledge) of what data actually is, what we can know about it, and how we can reason with it. The culture of data is also covered and where it fits into healthcare. Then, data quality is addressed, with a historical appreciation, as well as new concepts and insights derived from the author’s 35 years of experience in technology. The author provides a description of what healthcare data analysis is and how it is changing in the era of abundant data. Just as important is the topic of infrastructure and how it provides capability for data use. The book also describes how healthcare information infrastructure needs to change in order to meet current and future needs. The topics of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in healthcare are also addressed. The author concludes with thoughts on the evolution of the role and use of data and information going into the future.

Download or read book Information Technology and Military Power written by Jon R. Lindsay and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Militaries with state-of-the-art information technology sometimes bog down in confusing conflicts. To understand why, it is important to understand the micro-foundations of military power in the information age, and this is exactly what Jon R. Lindsay's Information Technology and Military Power gives us. As Lindsay shows, digital systems now mediate almost every effort to gather, store, display, analyze, and communicate information in military organizations. He highlights how personnel now struggle with their own information systems as much as with the enemy. Throughout this foray into networked technology in military operations, we see how information practice—the ways in which practitioners use technology in actual operations—shapes the effectiveness of military performance. The quality of information practice depends on the interaction between strategic problems and organizational solutions. Information Technology and Military Power explores information practice through a series of detailed historical cases and ethnographic studies of military organizations at war. Lindsay explains why the US military, despite all its technological advantages, has struggled for so long in unconventional conflicts against weaker adversaries. This same perspective suggests that the US retains important advantages against advanced competitors like China that are less prepared to cope with the complexity of information systems in wartime. Lindsay argues convincingly that a better understanding of how personnel actually use technology can inform the design of command and control, improve the net assessment of military power, and promote reforms to improve military performance. Warfighting problems and technical solutions keep on changing, but information practice is always stuck in between.

Download or read book Understanding Complex Information Technology Solutions written by Eva Heinrich and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts the challenging task of unravelling the complexities of today's web-based information technology solutions. To achieve this goal, the book provides a guided tour of one specific system, the Moodle learning management system. Using Moodle as the case study, key concepts of computer programming, data storage and databases, web technologies and networking are introduced, emphasising how these technologies work together to achieve the overall solution. The book also introduces the people and organisational contexts around a system like Moodle. It showcases the interrelationships between technologies and people in their varied roles as users, decision makers, developers or system maintainers.The book is directed at readers who are confident in using information technologies (such as browsing the Web) yet have limited understanding of how computers and information technology systems work. It uses informal language to explain complex contexts, supported by sketches and analogies. The book is not a Moodle book in the typical sense. It does not provide a user guide to Moodle, nor does it explain how to teach using Moodle. The book is aimed at readers with interest in understanding information technology solutions. Those readers will gain understanding of key technologies and concepts, transferable to many other systems. Readers with a strong interest in Moodle will gain a solid understanding of how Moodle works, preparing them for tasks that bridge the interface between users, organisations and developers. The author, Eva Heinrich, holds a masters degree in computer science, a PhD in information systems and a doctorate in education. She teaches computer science and information technology at Massey University, New Zealand, and conducts research into learning technologies and higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world awash in data, information systems help provide structure and access to information. Since libraries build, manage, and maintain information systems, librarians and LIS students are often propelled onto the front lines of interactions between library users and technology. But what do librarians need to know to best meet their patron's needs? What exactly are information systems and how do they work? Information expert Ratzan uses plain language, humor, and everyday examples like baseball and arithmetic to make sense of information systems (computer hardware, software, databases, the Internet). He also explores their characteristics, uses, abuses, advantages, and shortcomings for your library. Fun exercises and appendixes are provided to illustrate key points in the book and measure understanding. You can be a technophobe and still learn about systems and subsystems to represent, organize, retrieve, network, secure, conceal, measure, and manage information. This basic introduction addresses both theoretical and practical issues, including: What questions to ask technology vendors to meet your library's needs; When technology may not be the solution to a problem; Secrets
