10. Goals Understand how markets aggregate information The role of technology in that process Use that understanding to Design large-scale, interconnected, information aggregation and decision-making systems Make markets and organizations efficient and robust Create new mathematics, algorithms, and technology for markets, business enterprises, and electorates. Econ/Info: Social and Information Systems Laboratory Richard Murray, Caltech

11. Math/Info: Center for Information Mathematics • Goal Develop a common language for analyzing and synthesizing large scale information systems • Requires new mathematics • What are the fundamental objects that describe informational rep-resentations? • Is there a “dynamics” of infor-mation? • What is the best “topology” to use for analyzing information proces-sing systems? • Provide glue between other Centers Devices  Components  Systems  Markets Richard Murray, Caltech
