Journal of Sysemics, Cybernetics and Informatics

http://www.iiisci.org/Journal/SCI/Home.asp?var=
As it was emphasized in the editorial of the first issue, the main purpose of the Journal is to collaborate in the systemization of knowledge and experience generated in the areas of Systemics, Cybernetics (communication and control) and Informatics. This systemization process necessarily implies a progressive increase and enlargement of the relatedness among the associated areas, as well as among their respective disciplines. So, improvement in interdisciplinary communication would provide a very good support for the sought systemization process. This is one of the main objectives of the Journal we are launching with this first issue, and our editorial policy will be directed by it...

Netzwissenschaft - Deutschland

http://www.netzwissenschaft.de/
netzwissenschaft.de erschließt die infrastruktur einzelwissenschaftlicher forschungen zum internet und gibt dadurch wissenschaft und öffentlichkeit einen überblick über die internetforschung im ganzen. indem netzwissenschaft streng vom netz her denkt, kann sie gegenüber den nicht am netz gewonnenen, nun aber auf das netz übertragenen einzelwissenschaftlichen methodologien eine kritische korrekturfunktion übernehmen. will sie sich selbst als wissenschaft professionalisieren, darf sie sich nicht auf technische netze beschränken, sondern muß als wissenschaft der netze alle formen des netzwissens zu ihrem gegenstand machen. netzwissenschaft wäre dann neben reflexionswissenschaft und anwendungswissenschaft der dritte pfeiler des wissenschaftssystems.

Negroponte (MediaLab-MIT) PC para el 3er. Mundo

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4243733.stm

[1]Nicholas Negroponte, fundador del [2]Media Lab del MIT, está diseñando un ordenador portátil que contaría con las funciones y características esenciales y se vendería a menos de 100 dólares. En su opinión, un ordenador de este tipo en cada casa o en manos de cada niño en países subdesarrollados sería una herramienta revolucionaria para la educación y el desarrollo de toda la comunidad.
Este portátil utilizaría una memoria flash de 1 GB en lugar de disco duro y dispondría de conectividad sin hilos (wifi). Todos los compomentes están pensados para reducir costes y consumo energético. La batería podría cargarse con una manivela. El aspecto más problemático parece ser la pantalla, que debería estar por debajo de los 30 dólares. Una de las opciones más prometedoras es la tecnología de tinta electrónica [3]E - Ink, que sólo consume electricidad cuando cambia la imagen. En cuanto al software, lógicamente se utilizaría el sistema operativo Linux.

Tras su participación en Ginebra preparó un relato detallado sobre esa primera reunión. Entre otros puntos, el informe afirma que "la gobernanza de Internet va mucho más allá de lo que hace actualmente la ICANN (nombres, números y protocolos) y no hay todavía una propuesta consistente que cubra todos los aspectos de la gobernanza"
