Mit dem Nationalen Ethikrat hat die Bundesregierung erstmalig in der Geschichte Deutschlands eine Bioethikkommission eingerichtet, die neben Regierung und Parlament auch die allgemeine Offentlichkeit informieren und beraten sollte, um auf diese Weise zur Erarbeitung staats- und gesellschaftsubergreifender Konzepte hinsichtlich der Erorterung und Klarung aktueller biopolitischer Fragen beizutragen. Dementsprechend gross war das Unbehagen daruber, dass die Regierung den Rat quasi im -Alleingang- einberufen hatte, ohne den Bundestag in irgendeiner Form daran zu beteiligen. Dies gab Anlass zur...

The volume "Storing and Transmitting Data" is based on Rudolf Ahlswede's introductory course on "Information Theory I" and presents an introduction to Shannon Theory. Readers, familiar or unfamiliar with the technical intricacies of Information Theory, will benefit considerably from working through the book; especially Chapter VI with its lively comments and uncensored insider views from the world of science and research offers informative and revealing insights. This is the first of several volumes that will serve as a collected research documentation of Rudolf Ahlswede's lectures on...

The calculation of channel capacities was one of Rudolf Ahlswede's specialties and is the main topic of this second volume of his Lectures on Information Theory. Here we find a detailed account of some very classical material from the early days of Information Theory, including developments from the USA, Russia, Hungary and (which Ahlswede was probably in a unique position to describe) the German school centered around his supervisor Konrad Jacobs. These lectures made an approach to a rigorous justification of the foundations of Information Theory. This is the second of several volumes...

Devoted to information security, this volume begins with a short course on cryptography, mainly based on lectures given by Rudolf Ahlswede at the University of Bielefeld in the mid 1990s. It was the second of his cycle of lectures on information theory which opened with an introductory course on basic coding theorems, as covered in Volume 1 of this series. In this third volume, Shannon's historical work on secrecy systems is detailed, followed by an introduction to an information-theoretic model of wiretap channels, and such important concepts as homophonic coding and authentication. Once...

The fourth volume of Rudolf Ahlswede's lectures on Information Theory is focused on Combinatorics. Ahlswede was originally motivated to study combinatorial aspects of Information Theory via zero-error codes: in this case the structure of the coding problems usually drastically changes from probabilistic to combinatorial. The best example is Shannon's zero error capacity, where independent sets in graphs have to be examined. The extension to multiple access channels leads to the Zarankiewicz problem.
A code can be regarded combinatorially as a hypergraph; and many coding theorems can...
