Contemporary Technology

The book enriches the literature on different sub-domains of applied information technology. The ICCAIAIT Proceedings presents the high quality research papers presented at ICCAIAIT 2018. The contributions cover the contemporary issues in data analytics, computational intelligence, nature inspired computing, cyber physical systems, cloud computing, social network and intelligent computing on climate change. The volume is an important resource for educationists, academics, scholars and practitioners from both the public and private sectors.

Offering an overall insight into the French tradition of philosophy of technology, this volume is meant to make French-speaking contributions more accessible to the international philosophical community. The first section, “Negotiating a Cultural Heritage,” presents a number of leading 20th century philosophical figures (from Bergson and Canguilhem to Simondon, Dagognet or Ellul) and intellectual movements (from Personalism to French Cybernetics and political ecology) that help shape philosophy of technology in the Francophone area, and feed into contemporary debates (ecology of technology, politics of technology, game studies).
