W hat is the information content of a molecule? What is the data transmission rate associated with a chemical reaction? In contemplating such questions, Thomas et al. in this issue of PNAS (1) arrive at an interesting prototype device that stores and retrieves information by using only chemistry and chemical processes. This combination of information technology and chemistry, in a new field tha...

The goal of this tutorial is to provide a compact yet comprehensive introduction to service design in the wind energy business. The tutorial aims at giving the participants the theoretical and practical background in design principles considering the spedific domains the services are designed for. During the life demonstration it is shown how different services can be integrated transparently i...

Word N-gram models can be used for word-based age-group verification. In this paper the Agglomerative Information Bottleneck (AIB) approach is used to tackle one of the most fundamental drawbacks of word N-gram models: its abundant amount of irrelevant information. It is demonstrated that irrelevant information can be omitted by joining words to form word-clusters; this provides a mechanism to ...

We consider an information update system where receiver requests updates from provider in order to minimize its age of information. The are generated at the (transmitter) as a result completing set tasks such collecting data and performing computations on them. refer this generation process. model ...
