C.V. Raman (1888 - 1970) was a creative scientist, enthusiastic teacher and a science celebrity in India. In all these roles, he communicated science effectively. In this essay, I ask how and why did he communicate science. I take a few…

One can study communications by using Shannon's (1948) mathematical theory of communication. In social communications, however, the channels are not "fixed", but themselves subject to change. Communication systems change by communicating…

This article serves as a supplement to the recently published call for participation in a Research Topic [1] that is timed to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Shannon's pioneering 1948 paper [2]. Here, we include some citations of key…

This article is a reflection on the mathematical legacy of Professor Petr Simon.

One of the key aspects of Shannon's theory is that it provides guidance for designing the most efficient systems, such as minimizing errors and clarifying the limits of coding. Such theories have made great developments in the 50 years…

Irving John ("Jack") Good (9 December 1916 - 5 April 2009) was one of my greatest heroes and influencers. On Oct. 25, 2009, I gave a twenty-three minute talk with the present title, and this article is an extended transcript of that talk.…

In his autobiographic essay written in 1999, ``From logic to computer science and back'', Martin David Davis (3/8/1928--1/1/2023) indicated that he viewed himself as a logician \emph{and} a computer scientist. He expanded the essay in 2016…

Steven Weinberg productive scientific life teaches us many things, one of the most important of which is the power of his example. This essay contains personal reminiscences and a speculation about gravitational wave propagation based on…

Despite the fact that Shannon and Weaver's Mathematical Theory of Communication was published over 70 years ago, all communication systems continue to operate at the first of three levels defined in this theory: the technical level. In this…

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Ning Cai, a luminary whose pioneering spirit illuminated the realms of network coding and beyond. On May 25, 2023, at the age of 75, Prof. Cai bid farewell, leaving behind a profound…

Professor Alan Selman has been a giant in the field of computational complexity for the past forty years. This article is an appreciation, on the occasion of his retirement, of some of the most lovely concepts and results that Alan has…

Communication is essential for the advancement of Science. Technology advances and the proliferation of personal devices have changed the ways in which people communicate in all aspects of life. Scientific communication has also been…

The emerging in vivo communication and networking system is a prospective component in advancing healthcare delivery and empowering the development of new applications and services. In vivo communications is based on networked…

Santosh Kumar was an active researcher on the topic of exact results in random matrix theory and their various applications, particularly to quantum chaos and information theory. Barely entering his mid-career, he died unexpectedly on the…

The article is dedicated to the memory and enduring legacy of Professor Robert V. Kohn, Courant Institute, NYU. In this memorial article, we record thoughts and reminiscences of his exemplary life.

Roger Carter (1934--2022) was a very well known mathematician working in algebra, representation theory and Lie theory. He spent most of his mathematical career in Warwick. Roger was a great communicator of mathematics: the clarity,…

Halpern and Moses were the first to recognize, in 1984, the importance of a formal treatment of knowledge in distributed computing. Many works in distributed computing, however, still employ informal notions of knowledge. Hence, it is…

Semantic communication, regarded as the breakthrough beyond the Shannon paradigm, aims at the successful transmission of semantic information conveyed by the source rather than the accurate reception of each single symbol or bit regardless…

In recent times, the functioning of various aspects of modern society---ranging from the various infrastructural utilities such as electrical power, water to socio-economical aspects such as telecommunications, business, commerce,…

In the world of communication, nobody can be out of the fray! Since many years science communication and more in general the ability of a researcher to communicate his/her work to founding agency, policy makers, entrepreneurs and public at…
