Integrated information theory (IIT) is a theoretical framework for understanding consciousness developed by Dr. Giulio Tononi and collaborators at the Wisconsin Institute for Sleep and Consciousness at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Integrated information theory (IIT) attempts to identify the essential properties of consciousness (axioms) and, from there, infers the properties of physical systems that can account for it (postulates). Based on the postulates, it permits in principle to derive, for any particular system of elements in a state, whether it has consciousness, how much, and which particular experience it is having. IIT offers a parsimonious explanation for empirical evidence, makes testable predictions, and permits inferences and extrapolations.
The theory entails that consciousness is a fundamental quantity, that it is graded, that it is present in infants and animals, and that it should be possible to build conscious artifacts.

This article presents a model for describing the architecture of software-intensive systems, based on the useof multiple, concurrent views. This use of multiple views allows to address separately the concerns of thevarious ‘stakeholders’ of the architecture: end-user, developers, systems engineers, project managers, etc.,and to handle separately the functional and non functional requirements. Each of the five views is described,together with a notation to capture it. The views are designed using an architecture-centered, scenario-driven, iterative development process.
Unlike most introductions to JavaScript, these lessons present an even mix of browser programming and server programming. We give each topic only shallow coverage; if you want to know more, there are many other free tutorials you can dive into once you’ve mastered the basics, some of which are both up-to-date and well designed.
CTparental is a free and open-source parental control tool used to control computer usage or internet browsing. It comes with a simple and easy-to-use web interface powered by a Lighttpd web server. The idea of CTparental tool comes from other tools such as, iptables, dnsmasq, and inguardian privoxy.
