Dear all,
It is possible find some useful ideas to build multi-inter-trans
disciplinary approaches in last “closing statement” of Ubiquity
Symposium: What is Computation?
What Have We Said About Computation? [1]
If you are interested in all papers of this ACM Ubiquity Symposium:

Good to see that fis perspectives are used in teaching. I use
information ideas fundamentally in our second year Cognitive Science
course, and also in some postgrad courses I teach.

Thanks a lot, Gordana. It is a very good idea. Unfortunately I could
not participate in the opening of the session, well, at least I can
say now that I had the experience of teaching for Engineering graduate
students two neatly informational ("FIS") disciplines. One of them,
Bioinformation: informational analysis of living systems; and the
other Science, Technology and Society: an introduction to the
informational history of societies. Both of them in Spanish. They
were very successful, particularly the latter. The FIS perspective is
ideal not only for breaking down on "impossible topics" (our familiar
demons) but also for promoting a new, highly original way of analysis
--of knolweldge recombination processes-- on topics of our time and of
the most contentious past.
missing a lot the direct involvement in the discussions!

Hi All,
One way of looking at the question of curriculum would be from the
point of view of what already exists
of education in the Foundations of Information.
Are there any courses which might be a part of such a curriculum?
To start with I can tell about the course I have, which does not
cover much of Science of information, but there are several
connections.
As I work at the computer science department, my perspective is
computational.
For me computing is information processing and information is that
which is processed, and that which is a result of processing.
Processing may be done by a machine or by an organism or anything
else the whole of nature computes (processes information) in
different ways.
As info-computationalist, I believe that information is unthinkable
without computation.
So the course is on Computing and Philosophy but addresses Philosophy
of Information and Science of Information as well and topics on
evolution of life, intelligence (natural and artificial),
consciousness, etc. http://www.idt.mdh.se/kurser/comphil [3]
I believe it would be good to have a course on the foundations of
information science for people in the computing.
Information and computation are completely entangled! And this gives
also an opportunity to introduce other fields into computing, to
contribute to building bridges and
facilitating inter-disciplinary/ cross-disciplinary/
trans-disciplinary learning.
This is not as ambitious as the original question, but can help
understanding where we are now and where we want to be.
Best wishes,
Gordana

And it could feature in 'Science for Non-Majors' courses as well.

Hi All,
I agree with those who are suggesting that Information Science makes
sense
as a widely useful way to think about different scientific
disciplines
even if we don't have a strong consensus on how to define
'information'.
I think there is enough coherence among views of 'information' to
underpin
the unity and universality of the approach. Perhaps Information
Science
is less a discipline of its own and more of a common approach to
understanding that can be applied across disciplines. While I can
imagine
good courses focusing on Information Science, it might be most
productive
to include a common framework for information-based models/viewpoints
across the curriculum.
