TLDR

Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace--but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as The Mathematical Theory of Communication, published originally as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago. Republished in book form shortly thereafter, it has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings. It is a revolutionary work, astounding in its foresight and contemporaneity. The University of Illinois Press is pleased and honored to issue this commemorative reprinting of a classic.read more

The DeLone and McLean Model of Information Systems Success: A Ten-Year Update
TL;DR: This paper discusses many of the important IS success research contributions of the last decade, focusing especially on research efforts that apply, validate, challenge, and propose enhancements to the original model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The information capacity of the human motor system in controlling the amplitude of movement.
TL;DR: The motor system in the present case is defined as including the visual and proprioceptive feedback loops that permit S to monitor his own activity, and the information capacity of the motor system is specified by its ability to produce consistently one class of movement from among several alternative movement classes.

A Review of Image Denoising Algorithms, with a New One
TL;DR: A general mathematical and experimental methodology to compare and classify classical image denoising algorithms and a nonlocal means (NL-means) algorithm addressing the preservation of structure in a digital image are defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining Virtual Reality: Dimensions Determining Telepresence
TL;DR: In this paper, a variable-based definition of virtual reality is proposed, which can be used to classify virtual reality in relation to other media, such as TV, movies, etc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entropy and diversity
TL;DR: The standard similarity measure based on untransformed indices is shown to give misleading results, but transforming the indices or entropies to effective numbers of species produces a stable, easily interpreted, sensitive general similarity measure.

A mathematical theory of communication
TL;DR: This final installment of the paper considers the case where the signals or the messages or both are continuously variable, in contrast with the discrete nature assumed until now.

Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission of information
TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative measure of information is developed which is based on physical as contrasted with psychological considerations, and how the rate of transmission of this information over a system is limited by the distortion resulting from storage of energy is discussed from the transient viewpoint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Certain factors affecting telegraph speed
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the wave shape depends somewhat on the type of circuit over which intelligence is to be transmitted and that for most cases the optimum wave is neither rectangular nor a half cycle sine wave as is frequently used but a wave of special form produced by sending a simple rectangular wave through a suitable network.
