这本书提出的概念需要处理自组织复杂系统从一个统一的观点,使用宏观数据。讨论了“信息”概念的各种含义,并使用了最大信息(熵)原理的一般公式。借助于协同学的结果,为一大类自组织系统制定了适当的目标约束,并给出了物理学、生命科学和计算机科学中的例子。混沌理论的关系进行了研究,它进一步表明,基于可能稀缺和嘈杂的数据,无偏的猜测过程中的复杂系统,可以确定和基本的确定性和随机力。这允许对过程进行概率预测,并应用于科学,技术,医学和经济学的许多领域。第三版的扩展部分基本上致力于介绍量子背景下信息的含义。事实上,量子信息科学和技术目前是物理学、技术和信息科学界面上最活跃的研究领域之一,并已成为未来处理和传播任何规模信息的主要技术之一。这本书地址研究生和非专业研究人员希望从科学的角度更深入地了解信息的概念。它适合作为高级课程或自学的教科书。
This book presents the concepts needed to deal with self-organizing complex systems from a unifying point of view that uses macroscopic data. The various meanings of the concept "information" are discussed and a general formulation of the maximum information (entropy) principle is used. With the aid of results from synergetics, adequate objective constraints for a large class of self-organizing systems are formulated and examples are given from physics, life and computer science. The relationship to chaos theory is examined and it is further shown that, based on possibly scarce and noisy data, unbiased guesses about processes of complex systems can be made and the underlying deterministic and random forces determined. This allows for probabilistic predictions of processes, with applications to numerous fields in science, technology, medicine and economics. The extensions of the third edition are essentially devoted to an introduction to the meaning of information in the quantum context. Indeed, quantum information science and technology is presently one of the most active fields of research at the interface of physics, technology and information sciences and has already established itself as one of the major future technologies for processing and communicating information on any scale. This book addresses graduate students and nonspecialist researchers wishing to get acquainted with the concept of information from a scientific perspective in more depth. It is suitable as a textbook for advanced courses or for self-study.
