Description & Coverage
Description:

Information and communication technologies are increasingly prolific worldwide, exposing the issues and challenges of the assimilation of existing living environments to the shift in technological communication infrastructure.

Reflexing Interfaces: The Complex Coevolution of Information Technology Ecosystems discusses the application of complex theories in information and communication technology, with a focus on the interaction between living systems and information technologies. This innovative view provides researcher, scholars, and IT professionals with a fundamental resource on such compelling topics as virtual reality; fuzzy logic systems; and complexity science in artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation, neural networks, and 3-D modeling.

Now he is professor of clinical psychology and psychiatry at the Catholic University and Gemelli University Hospital in Rome. He is also a research fellow at the London University College, and founder and editor in chief of Chaos and Complexity Letters International Journal of Dynamical System Research (Nova Science, New York). His last published books are Changing Mind, Transitions in Natural and Artificial Environments (World Scientific, Singapore, 2002) and Bioethics in Complexity (Imperial College Press, London, 2004). He has also published more than 80 scientific articles on neuroscience and cognitive science.
Nicoletta Sala received a laurea in physics and applied cybernetics at the University of Milan (Italy); a PhD in communication science at Università della Svizzera Italiana of Lugano (USI, Lugano, Switzerland); and postgraduate degrees (2 years for each) in didactics of the communication and multimedia technologies, and journalism and mass media. She is professor of information technology and electronics and teaches at the University of Lugano (Mendrisio, Switzerland) and the University of Insubria (Varese, Italy). She is founder and coeditor of Chaos and Complexity Letters: International Journal of Dynamical System Research (Nova Science, New York). Her research interests concern various scientific topics from an interdisciplinary point of view and comprise the following areas: fractal geometry and complexity; mathematics in arts, architecture, and industrial design; new media and IT in the learning environments; and virtual reality in education. She has authored 20 mathematics and information technology books, and edited four others. She has written 280 scientific papers.
