Information modelling and knowledge bases have become ever more essential in recent years because of the need to handle and process the vast amounts of data which now form part of everyday life. The machine to machine communication of the Internet of Things (IoT), in particular, can generate unexpectedly large amounts of raw data. This book presents the proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases (EJC2017), held in Krabi, Thailand, in June 2017. The EJC conferences originally began in 1982 as a co-operative initiative between Japan and Finland, but have since become a world-wide research forum bringing together researchers and practitioners in information modelling and knowledge bases for the exchange of scientific results and achievements. Of the 42 papers submitted, 29 were selected for publication here, and these cover a wide range of information-modelling topics, including the theory of concepts, semantic computing, data mining, context-based information retrieval, ontological technology, image databases, temporal and spatial databases, document data management, software engineering, cross-cultural computing, environmental analysis, social networks, and WWW information. The book will be of interest to all those whose work involves dealing with large amounts of data.

The past 50 years have witnessed a revolution in computing and related communications technologies. The contributions of industry and university researchers to this revolution are manifest; less widely recognized is the major role the federal government played in launching the computing revolution and sustaining its momentum. Funding a Revolution examines the history of computing since World War II to elucidate the federal government's role in funding computing research, supporting the education of computer scientists and engineers, and equipping university research labs. It reviews the economic rationale for government support of research, characterizes federal support for computing research, and summarizes key historical advances in which government-sponsored research played an important role. Funding a Revolution contains a series of case studies in relational databases, the Internet, theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality that demonstrate the complex interactions among government, universities, and industry that have driven the field. It offers a series of lessons that identify factors contributing to the success of the nation's computing enterprise and the government's role within it.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly introduced into many systems that modern society rely on and is often portrayed as a savior that can contribute to finding solutions to societal challenges e.g., social, and ecological sustainability. Many of these systems can be classified as complex systems, with interdependencies, emergent behaviors and a diversity of actors involved. As AI is increasingly introduced into these systems, we witness a transformation from complex systems into complex intelligent systems. At the same time caution is invoked toward the risks of AI regarding e.g., biases and loss of control as more tasks are transferred to AI. Hence, the introduction of AI into complex systems is associated with uncertainties around management of AI initiatives and their influence on future systems. Challenges like this can affect many different functions and professions and thus need to be understood collectively. The aim of this thesis is to examine how the actors’ prospective collective sensemaking processes in developing complex systems are affected by AI introduction. Previous research within complex systems literature shows important aspects regarding sensemaking of the system and situations within operations of complex systems. However, sensemaking in the development process of complex systems has been less studied. By examining the introduction of AI in complex systems development this thesis explores collective prospective sensemaking processes in the development of complex intelligent systems. To study an emerging phenomenon like AI introduction in complex systems, an explorative case study was found suitable. The case chosen for the study was a cross-organizational development project of an AI-tool based on Machine Learning for planning of energy systems to be used in the urban planning process of new city districts. This setting revealed plenty prospective and collective sensemaking occasions around AI introduction and exhibited continuous engagement in prospective collective sensemaking relating to the development of the AI tool and the imagined use of the AI tool in the system, which have been reported in the two appended papers. The first paper showed misalignment between actors’ sensemaking processes that alternated between seeking and disengaging behaviors. It also identified the use of boundary objects to retain disengaged actors and raised considerations around the level of detail of the boundary objects in relation to the sensemaking behaviors. The second paper identified dependencies between near- and distant-sensemaking loops that highlight challenges to connect retrospective insights with prospective imaginations by action in the present. In the creation of complex intelligent systems, human involvement seems inevitable, and the second paper exposes how AI can augment human cognition and organizational capabilities for creative imagination around possible and desirable distant-future scenarios. This thesis extends previous research on prospective and collective sensemaking in the development process of complex intelligent systems by presenting a framework of near and distant future sensemaking and internal and external complexity. This provided new insights of how knowledge flows over system levels and how to use boundary objects throughout such projects. Insight that can be useful for management of purposeful AI introduction in complex systems and society. Moreover, it contributes with an empirical case of AI introduction in complex systems to the innovation management literature. Artificiell intelligens (AI) integreras alltmer i de system som vårt moderna samhälle vilar på och framställs ofta som en viktig faktor för att lösa de utmaningar som samhället står inför, till exempel social och ekologisk hållbarhet. Många av dessa system kan definieras som komplexa system, med ömsesidiga beroenden, oförutsedda beteenden och en mångfald av inblandade aktörer. När AI introduceras i sådana system kan vi skönja en transformation från komplexa system till komplexa intelligenta system. Samtidigt påtalas ofta riskerna med AI avseende till exempel partiskhet och minskad kontroll när uppgifter tas över av AI. Införandet av AI i samhällskritiska system förknippas därmed med osäkerheter kring hanteringen av AI-initiativ och dess påverkan på framtiden. Detta leder till utmaningar som berör många olika funktioner och professioner och därmed behöver förstås kollektivt. Syftet med avhandlingen är att undersöka aktörernas framtidsorienterade, gemensamma, meningsskapande processer under utveckling av komplexa system och hur de påverkas av introduktionen av AI. Tidigare forskning inom komplexa system har visat på viktiga aspekter gällande människors förståelse av systemet och situationer framförallt inom driften av komplexa system. Meningsskapande i utvecklingsprocessen av komplexa system har dock hittills inte uppmärksammats i samma utsträckning. Genom att undersöka introduktionen av AI i utvecklingen av komplexa system utforskar denna avhandling kollektiva, framåtblickande, meningsskapande processer inom utvecklingen av komplexa intelligenta system. För studier av ett framväxande fenomen som AI-introduktion i komplexa system ansågs en explorativ fallstudie lämplig. Det valda fallet var ett utvecklingsprojekt av ett AI-verktyg baserat på maskininlärning med syfte att användas i planeringen av energisystem inom stadsplaneringsprocessen av nya stadsdelar och hade flera medverkande organisationer. Fallet visade på flera framtidsorienterade och gemensamma meningsskapande situationer kring AI-introduktion. Därmed synliggjordes de medverkandes kontinuerliga deltagande i framåtblickande gemensamt meningsskapande relaterat till utvecklingen av AI-verktyget och dess tänkta användningen i systemet, vilket rapporterats i de två bilagda artiklarna. Den första artikeln visade att de meningsskapande processerna var ur fas mellan aktörerna, vilka växlade mellan sökande och oengagerade beteenden, och att användningen av gränsöverskridande objekt med rätt detaljnivå kan involvera oengagerade aktörer. Den andra artikeln identifierade beroenden mellan olika meningsskapande cykler, närliggande respektive avlägsen framtid, vilket belyser utmaningar med att koppla tillbakablickande insikter till framåtblickande föreställningar om systemet genom handling i nuet. Vid skapande av komplexa intelligenta system framstår mänsklig inblandning som oundviklig, och den andra artikeln belyser även hur AI kan förstärka mänsklig kognition och organisatoriska förmågor för att främja kreativ föreställningsförmåga kring möjliga och önskvärda scenarier av en avlägsen framtid. Avhandlingen bidrar genom att bredda tidigare forskning om framtidsorienterat och kollektivt meningsskapande i utvecklingsprocessen av komplexa intelligenta system genom att presentera ett ramverk av närliggande och avlägset framåtblickande och intern och extern komplexitet. Det visar på nya insikter om hur kunskap flödar över systemnivåer och gränsöverskridande objekt kan användas under sådana utvecklingsprojekt. Sådana insikter kan vara praktiskt användbara för en välgrundad AI-introduktion i komplexa system och i samhället i stort. Dessutom bidrar den med en empirisk fallstudie av resan mot AI-introduktion i komplexa system till litteraturen inom innovationsledning.
