3 October 2011, One-day workshop "Philosophy of Information", Washington DC, U.S.A.

The overall objective of this workshop is to study some of the open questions within philosophy of information.

Interest in the philosophy and meaning of information goes back half a century but has rapidly increased recently with many new directions of research into the meaning, quantification and measures of information and complexity as well as a vast range of applications across the scientific spectrum. In this workshop we will focus on the different techniques to measure information and to identify meaningful information.
