In this chapter, a domain independent taxonomy of sign functions rooted in an analysis of physical signs found in public space is presented. This knowledge is necessary for the construction of future multimedia systems that are capable of automatically generating complex yet legible graphical responses from an underlying abstract information space such as a semantic network. The authors take the presence of a sign in the real world as indication for a demand for the information encoded in that sign, and identify the fundamental types of information that are needed to fulfill various tasks. For the information types listed in the taxonomy, strategies for rendering the information to the user in digital mobile multimedia systems are discussed.

AbstractThough a vast amount of dictionary analyses have been produced over the years, hardly any of these have mentioned the operative function, which has been overlooked in most lexicographical literature. With short analyses of 12 existing dictionaries ranging from the 18th century to the 21st century, this article shows that many dictionaries have indeed been produced to satisfy operative needs. Based on this result, it is clear that the operative function deserves a place in lexicographical theory. An interesting finding that came out of these analyses was that especially dictionaries from the 18th to the early 20th centuries (the old dictionaries) were written to accommodate several types of information needs that their users would come across in the real world, including operative needs, whereas the focus of most contemporary dictionaries is to satisfy linguistic information needs. This is an interesting change in focus, which this article criticises. Based on the above mentioned analyses, a number of questions are raised to guide future research into the operative function.

In Athens and Istanbul, two cities that have emerged as epicentres of protest within the broader conjuncture of contemporary political mobilization across the Mediterranean, the transformative potential of political street art has become particularly evident. Staging a dialogic encounter between the two cities, this chapter examines how in each case interventions into public space as well as their circulation in the digital realm create, according to Can Altay, ‘hybrid space[s] of resistance’ that sustain political performances both grounded in the real world and beyond. Attentive to the resonances as well as the differences between the two cities and their respective political configurations, I reflect on manifestations of political street art in the context of contemporary social movements.

Complex Forms

In order for an artificial life (Alife) system to evolve complex creatures, an artificial environment prepared by a designer has to satisfy several conditions. To clarify this requirement, we first assume that an artificial environment implemented in the computational medium is composed of an information space in which elementary symbols move around and react with each other according to human-prepared elementary rules. As fundamental properties of these factors (space, symbols, transportation, and reaction), we present ten criteria from a comparison with the biochemical reaction space in the real world. Then, in the latter half of the article, we take several computational Alife systems one by one, and assess them in terms of the proposed criteria. The assessment can be used not only for improving previous Alife systems but also for devising new Alife models in which complex forms of artificial creatures can be expected to evolve.

Competitive intelligence activities are intensive information behavior. This paper reports a portion of results from a study of how 28 Canadian CI professionals work in the real world, such as the mechanism of their information needs, the types of information that they seek, and the information sources that they use.Les activités de la veille concurrentielle constituent des comportements informationnels intensifs. Cet article présente une partie des résultats d’une étude portant sur la manière dont 28 professionnels canadiens de la veille concurrentielle travaillent dans le monde réel, et plus particulièrement le mécanisme de leurs besoins informationnels, les catégories d’information recherchées, et les sources d’information utilisées.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
