New avenues in ICT and Modelling

One can look upon ICT as a language to communicate ideas between different areas of science and technology. Being a synapse of current technological advances, ICT is in need of a flexible formal foundation.

Observe artificial neural networks and adaptive filters, originated from two different problems and perhaps disciplines(pattern-recognition and communication), resembles each other well. In fact, they are same. There are large number of other examples highlighting the 'sameness'. Looking upon such a possibility ICT becomes a junction for analogies, managing these analogies and in process building up a common language calls for such a formal foundation.

Challenge would be to use available formal(mathematical) world entities to compensate for the empirical entities of ICT. And if not sufficient we will have to create new entities Isomorphic to the empirical ones.
