Infonautics is a new interdisciplin
knowledge area in the cross road of system science, cybernetics and
informatics. Infonautics include structure and characteristics of
the infosphere and its ecological, geographical, human biological,
scientific and technological, economic, political and
socio-cultural structures and processes. Infonautics is about
theory and methods for development, organizing, production,
storing, transmitting, distribution, retrieval, evaluation of
information, including informationsystems, networks, services,
processes and activities that transfer knowledge from source to
end-user.
Some keywords with connection to infonautics are
infosphere, cyberspace, information space, information ecology,
cybergeography, information landscape, information map, information
architecture, information design, information visualization,
environment, scanning, monitoring, intelligence, communication,
intelligent agents, search engines, network, Internet, information
autonomy, information competence, information literacy, information
stress, information fusion.
Infonaut is continuously scanning and summarizing
the following knowledge fields: intelligence cybernetics,
environmental scanning, buisiness intelligence, team intelligence,
information autonomy, information competence, infosphere, robotics,
intelligent networking.
