Dear Friends and Colleagues, Congratulations to Pedro and Krassimir on your design for a great meeting!
I just take this occasion to mention again an idea of mine, which I think is important, of encouraging speakers to write critically, even primarily, about the work of other active members of the group. I believe that it is important for all participants to have their work constructively criticized, and I really hope that a couple of people might pick up the idea, with which Pedro and Krassimir agree. It really forces one to look carefully at someone else's ideas, not only one's own. Applying this to myself, for example, I would write a short paper about Krassimir's work. My paper might be critical, but of course Krassimir will have the chance of reading it, correcting it and deciding if he wants it to be presented or not. There should be no 'competition' here. If more than one person decides to talk about the same colleague, that too could permit a new and useful comparison. Comments welcome. Best wishes, Joseph ----- Original Message ----- From: PEDRO CLEMENTE MARIJUAN FERNANDEZ To: fis@listas.unizar.es Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2014 5:27 PM Subject: [Fis] FIS 20, Summer in Varna Dear FISers, this is a reminder about the FIS Summer Conference in Varna to celebrate the 20 years of this initiative. Below I include the basic technical information of the meeting. An important point: the period for early inscription and important discount in hotel prices will end the next 28 February. The meeting will start on 3th July with a celebratory Gala Dinner --and toasts!-- followed by two work days in July 4-5. Given that we will hold the meeting conjointly with GIT sessions (General Information Theory), the FIS conference might be extended to the 6th July, depending on the number of inscriptions. Apart from the individual presentations, some general discussions are planned: definition/undefinition of information, consensus notion on information, strategies for the renewal and extension of information science, the next 20 years... All parties from the germane organizations (IS4IS, ITHEA, Symmetry Institute, Chinese Sections...) are cordially invited to share a nice time in Varna.
