Coding, information theory and compression constitute the backbone of modern digital communications and data storage. Grounded in Shannon’s seminal work, information theory quantifies the ...

Secure network coding is an emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates network coding techniques with advanced cryptographic and error-correction methodologies to safeguard data transmissions in ...

Lossy compression schemes can be based on a source model, as in the case of speech compression, or a user or sink model, as is somewhat the case in image compression. In this chapter we look at audio ...

Imagine a healthcare system in which providers do not have to prepare and submit bills. No ICD-9-CM or CPT coding, no MS-DRGs (or any other type of DRGs), no charge master or charge capture, no DNFB.
