This book aims to synthesize different directions in knowledge studies into a unified theory of
knowledge and knowledge processes. It explicates important relations between knowledge …

Agents and agent systems are becoming more and more important in the development of a
variety of fields such as ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence, autonomous computing …

Shannon's approach based on the concept of entropy became the mainstream information
theory. Although some think that this direction represents information theory as the whole …

This paper does not propose a solution, not even a new possible attack, to the P versus NP
problem. We are asking the simpler question: How “complex” is the P versus NP problem …

According to the contemporary computer science, working in the functional recursive mode,
computers and computer networks function as recursive algorithms. At the same time …

The objective of this paper is to prove by simple construction, generalized by induction, that
the bounded areas on any map, such as found on the surface of a sheet of paper or a …

The equation x^ a+ y^ b+ z^ c= m in real numbers represents a group of Nonlinear Multi-
Agent Systems, is an ill-posed problem and can be used in physical sciences and social …

The theory of algorithms, automata and computation is aimed at modeling and exploration of
computers, cell phones, computer networks, such as the Internet, and processes in them …

Problems play a crucial role in science. However, to correctly understand this role, it is
necessary to have an adequate model of scientific knowledge. Here we use the most …
