Biography

Combining philosophy with a background in the arts, cultural theory, and sociology, to address a critical perspective on systems theory, David is a critical philosopher of Information Systems - the trans-disciplinary space where computing, the social, and the nature of our relationship with reality intersect. David is Chair of IFIP Technical Assembly (the committee of Technical Committee Chairs) and a member of the IFIP Executive Committee and the IFIP Board.  Full details of David's academic activities are available at http://david.kreps.org/ 

Research Interests

David's specialism is in Philosophy of Information Systems.  His areas of research interest fall broadly under the umbrella of Information Society. He is interested in all aspects of virtuality, and has established a reputation in eAccessibility. His background in Cultural Studies and Sociology bring a critical and philosophical approach to his research in Information Systems. His doctoral thesis focused on the phenomenon of Cyborgism in contemporary society, through interviews with disabled and performance and interactive artists exploring this field, and with reference to the exoskeletal ambitions of the US military. He has since pursued a multi-year research programme looking into how philosophers such as Bergson and Whitehead can be reassessed in light of the developments in systems theory generally referred to as Complexity Theory and applied to contemporary Information Systems.
