Entwurfsanlagen : Denken mit Modellen = Drafting facilities : thinking with models
Models are among the working tools of creative people of all kinds. They serve to concretize ideas and give them a form so that they become negotiable. In the publication \"Drafting facilities : Thinking with models\", specialists from architecture, art, philosophy, neuropsychology, climate science, economics and artificial intelligence reveal how they work with this tool and how it changes the way we look at the world.

Das Modell Zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft
Modelle greifen tief in die Prozesse des Denkens und Handelns und in die Entwicklungen der Künste, der Wissenschaften, der Technologien und Kulturen ein.Anders als viele klassische modelltheoretische Ansätze suggerieren, kommen dabei aber nicht nur die bewusst ins Auge gefassten Aspekte der Modelle zur Wirkung, sondern auch solche, von denen man.

Simplicity, Inference and Modelling
The idea that simplicity matters in science is as old as science itself, with the much cited example of Ockham's Razor, 'entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem': entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity. A problem with Ockham's razor is that nearly everybody seems to accept it, but few are able to define its exact meaning and to make it operational in a non-arbitrary way. Using a multidisciplinary perspective including philosophers, mathematicians, econometricians and economists, this 2002 monograph examines simplicity by asking six questions: what is meant by simplicity? How is simplicity measured? Is there an optimum trade-off between simplicity and goodness-of-fit? What is the relation between simplicity and empirical modelling? What is the relation between simplicity and prediction? What is the connection between simplicity and convenience? The book concludes with reflections on simplicity by Nobel Laureates in Economics.

Naturoids
Since antiquity, technology has tried to either control or imitate nature. Both these traditions take advantage of the progress of science, but their teleology and their typical design problems remain basically different.The technology of the artificial may be defined as the effort to reproduce natural objects or processes by means of current conventional technology and materials. This book reports on the results of a theoretical study of the logic characterizing any attempt to design something artificial.While designers of artificial devices work in their own area facing field-specific problems (e.g. bioengineering, artificial organs, robotics, AI, ALife, remakings, etc.), the present study refers to the artificial in itself, trying to find out what is common to instances very far from each other, in an intrinsically interdisciplinary way. The result may be defined as a proposal of a general theory of the artificial.
