Book Description:

'The book itself is a diagram of clarification, containing hundreds of examples of work by those who favor the communication of information over style and academic postulation-and those who don't. Many blurbs such as this are written without a thorough reading of the book. Not so in this case. I read it and love it. I suggest you do the same.' -Richard Saul Wurman'This handsome, clearly organized book is itself a prime example of the effective presentation of complex visual information.' -eg magazine'It is a dream book, we were waiting foron the field of information. On top of the incredible amount of presented knowledge this is also a beautifully designed piece, very easy to follow' -Krzysztof Lenk, author of Mapping Websites: Digital Media Design"Making complicated information understandable is becoming the crucial task facing designers in the 21st century. With Designing Information, Joel Katz has created what will surely be an indispensable textbook on the subject."-Michael Bierut'Having had the pleasure of a sneak preview, I can only say that this is a magnificent achievement: a combination of intelligent text, fascinating insights and - oh yes - graphics. Congratulations to Joel.'-Judith Harris, author of Pompeii Awakened: A Story of RediscoveryDesigning Informationshows designers in all fields - from user-interface design to architecture and engineering - how to design complex data and information for meaning, relevance, and clarity. Written by a worldwide authority on the visualization of complex information, this full-color, heavily illustrated guide provides real-life problems and examples as well as hypothetical and historical examples, demonstrating the conceptual and pragmatic aspects of human factors-driven information design. Both successful and failed design examples are included to help readers understand the principles under discussion.

Designing Cross-Channel User Experiences
Pervasive Information Architecture Image
As physical and digital interactions intertwine, new challenges for digital product designers and developers, as well as, industrial designers and architects are materializing. While well versed in designing navigation, organization, and labelling of websites and software, professionals are faced the crucial challenge of how to apply these techniques to information systems that cross communication channels that link the digital world to the physical world. Pervasive Information Architecture provides examples showing why and how one would: Model and shape information to adapt itself to users' needs, goals, and seeking strategies Reduce disorientation and increase legibility and way-finding in digital and physical spaces Alleviate the frustration a...

Information, Randomness and Incompleteness

Papers on Algorithmic Information Theory
Information, Randomness and Incompleteness Image
2nd Edition
God not only plays dice in quantum mechanics, but even with the whole numbers! The discovery of randomness in arithmetic is presented in my book Algorithmic Information Theory published by Cambridge University Press. There I show that to decide if an algebraic equation in integers has finitely or infinitely many solutions is in some cases absolutely intractable. I exhibit an infinite series of such arithmetical assertions that are random arithmetical facts, and for which it is essentially the case that the only way to prove them is to assume them as axioms. This extreme form of Gdel incompleteness theorem shows that some arithmetical truths are totally...

Uncertainty and Information

Foundations of Generalized Information Theory
Uncertainty and Information Image
Deal with information and uncertainty properly and efficiently using tools emerging from generalized information theoryUncertainty and Information: Foundations of Generalized Information Theory contains comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of results that have emerged from a research program begun by the author in the early 1990s under the name "generalized information theory" (GIT). This ongoing research program aims to develop a formal mathematical treatment of the interrelated concepts of uncertainty and information in all their varieties. In GIT, as in classical information theory, uncertainty (predictive, retrodictive, diagnostic, prescriptive, and the like) is viewed as a manifestation of information deficiency, while information is ...
