Course content

1. - 2. From mechanisation to automatisation: origins of mechanisation; devices and machines cotrolled by man; first experiments with automatisation. 3. The birth of cybernetics: N. Wiener - "Cybernetics: Or the Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine"; the beginning of the development of computer technology (Turing machine, von Neumann's architecture of a computer). 4. - 7. The advancement of automatisation of complex devices and processes: the development of cybernetics as a scientific field allowing for advanced automatisation; the importance of automatisation for science, technology and industry; the role of computers in automatisation. 8. - 11. Automatisation of tasks which can be performed (so far) only by humans: the birth of artificial intelligence (H. Simon, A. Newell, M. Minsky, W. McCulloch); the history of machine perception and undertsanding; the history and applications of knowledge systems; the development of human-machine communication; the advances in the research of artificial thought; computer as a universal tool in cybernetics. 12. - 13. The relation of cybernetics to other disciplines: the use of cybernetics in biology, psychology, economy, sociology, medicine; systems theory (L. Bertalanffy, R. Kalman, L. Zadeh) and information theory (C. Shannon).
