title = "The Quantitative Theory of Information",
abstract = "Information Theory as developed by Shannon and followers is becoming more and more important in a number of sciences. The concepts appear to be just the right ones with intuitively appealing operational interpretations. Furthermore, the information theoretical quantities are connected by powerful identities and inequalities. The article introduces the concepts code, entropy, divergence, redundancy and mutual information which are considered to be the most important ones. ",
