The Boole Lecture

The Science of Infocommunications

Nikolaj A. Kuznetsov *

Director of the Institute for Information Transmission Problems RAS (IITP RAS) Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences

The Annual Boole Lecture was established and is sponsored by the Boole Centre for Research in Informatics, the Cork Constraint Computation Centre, the Department of Computer Science, and the School of Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Statistics at University College Cork. The series is named in honour of George Boole, the first professor of Mathematics at UCC, whose seminal work on logic in the late 1800s is central to modern digital computing. To mark this great contribution, leaders in the fields of computing and mathematics are invited to talk to the general public on directions in science, on past achievements and on visions for the future.

The science of infocommunications is considered as a natural science discipline. The results of activities directed at creation of formal database models are summarized. Methods of quantitative measurement of information are described. The notion of information interaction process is introduced. A classification of information interactions in technical, man-machine, and living systems is given.
