  Tracking Innovation through Grey Literature

  Fourteenth International Conference on Grey Literature

  Innovation is a process manifested in and through grey literature. Both have their origins in knowledge generation and both demonstrate value for government, academics, business and industry through their uses and applications. In a way, innovation and grey literature are two sides of the same coinage. Innovation is the catalyst for positive change and grey literature is the measure of benchmarks in the further process of research and development. The goal of the Fourteenth International Conference on Grey Literature seeks to track the process of innovation by tracing the research life cycle and observing its convergence in the field of grey literature.

  Complexity, Networks and Internet Regulation

  Seminar of the ANR project on distributed architectures

  Why is the Internet so difficult to regulate? In large part, its complexity and size have proved challenging, but there seems to be a lot of ignorance about how it really works. Large interconnected systems such as the Internet display a number of inherent architectural characteristics deeming them well-suited to the study of complex dynamic networks. The starting point of this talk is that it is perfectly possible to use various network science-based tools to explore the contentious issue of Internet regulation. Specifically, the Internet as a dynamic distributed system requires new challenges that rely on that same distributed nature in order to tackle them.

  Web and philosophy: why and what for?

  The advent of the Web is one of the defining technological events of the twentieth-first century, yet its impact on the fundamental questions of philosophy has not yet been widely explored, much less systematized. We hope to provoke the properly philosophical question of whether there is a consistent new branch or practice of philosophy that can weave these changes to technology and society into a coherent whole and have a real social impact.

  Electronic Communications in the “information society”. Which uses, which practices ?

  La communication électronique pénètre toutes les sphères des usagers des Technologies de l'Information Communication (désormais TIC). Après un colloque en 2010 qui traitait de la sphère privée (dans une perspective linguistique notamment), les enseignants-chercheurs du département Information Communication de l'IUT du Havre organisent un colloque international en juin 2012. Il portera sur la communication électronique toujours mais cette fois du point de vue de la sphère publique (sous le regard des sciences de l'information et de la communication).
