Communications, Bell Systems Technical Journal. 3, no. 27, (July 1948).
[This is perhaps the most famous and seminal paper in the information
sciences. In this paper, Shannon described the first practical syntactic

in the information sciences from the design of computer instruction sets to
the integrity of satellite communications and beyond. It is hard to
overestimate the impact of this work.] Overview Drill Down
