SUMMARY:Information and Decision-Making - Prof Daniel Polani (University o
 f Hertfordshire)

DESCRIPTION:We investigate the relation between information (in the Shanno
 n sense)\nand decision-making. It turns out that information is a prime re
 source\nfor any agent or robot. Taking this into account permits one to\nf
 ormulate principles of arranging information in the decision-making\nproce
 ss of such an agent. Thus\, the necessities of information\nprocessing imp
 ly certain types of invariants and architectures - or\nalso principles by 
 which behaviour should naturally be selected.\n\nThis has ramifications fo
 r the organization of the sensorimotor loop\nand\, by implication\, sensor
 ics and actuatorics and behaviours. My talk\nwill discuss a number of scen
 arios illustrating these points.
