Information Theory is one of those rare scientific fields to which one can assign a definite beginning. The publication in 1948 of Claude E. Shannon’s celebrated paper, “A Mathematical theory of Communication”, marks the birth of Information Theory as clearly as the Declaration of Independence in 1776 marked the birth of a country. This special issue of the Newsletter is part of the IEEE Inform...

Insights from the Wikipedia Contest (IEEE Contest for Data Mining 2011)

The Wikimedia Foundation has recently observed that newly joining editors on Wikipedia are increasingly failing to integrate into the Wikipedia editors’ community, i.e. the community is becoming increasingly harder to penetrate [1]. To sustain healthy growth of the community, the Wikimedia Foundation aims to quantitatively understand the factors that determine the editing behavior, and explain ...

NO contest: nitrite versus S-nitroso-hemoglobin.

Arecent flurry of research papers and commentaries in this journal1–4 has highlighted a current major controversy in cardiovascular biochemistry and physiology: how is nitric oxide (NO) transported in the bloodstream. Two views have arisen. First, that S-nitrosated hemoglobin and albumin serve as stable storage forms of intravascular NO, and, in the case of S-nitrosated hemoglobin, as an allost...

AP-initiated Multi-User Transmissions in IEEE 802.11ax WLANs

Next-generation 802.11ax WLANs will make extensive use of multi-user communications in both downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) directions to achieve high and efficient spectrum utilization in scenarios with many user stations per access point. It will become possible with the support of multi-user (MU) multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) t...
