Information Theory: 50 Years of Discovery

«In 1948 Claude Shannon published the paper that single-handedly started the field of information theory, «The Mathematical Theory of Communication.» This groundbreaking paper laid the foundation for virtually all aspects of modern-day communications. Now INFORMATION THEORY celebrates the discovery of this dynamic field with a major collection of 25 tutorial articles spanning the last 50 years. With over 3,000 references, this book is an ideal resource for industry researchers, practicing engineers, and graduate students in communications, signal processing, and computing.
