Shannon information theory aims at finding fundamental limits for storage and communication, including rates of convergence to these limits. Indeed, many interesting information theoretic phenomena seem to appear in the second order asymptotics. So we first discuss precise analysis of the minimax redundancy that can be viewed as a measure of learnable or useful information. Then we highlight Ma...

I dare say that there is no other IEEE society that is a more purely volunteer society than the Information Theory Society. Our society has no staff, and is basically run out of the back pockets of a large number of dedicated and highly responsible volunteers. Moreover, I believe that there is no other IEEE society in which the principal volunteers are so often the principal technical contribut...

Reliability and performance of RAIDs - Magnetics, IEEE Transactions on

We define and analyze the ACATS declustering scheme for use with the classic Level 5 as well as MDS RAIDs. ACATS provides a paradigm for distributed sparing and checking as well. Using Markov models we calculate the reliability of classic Level 5 as well as MDS RAIDs both with and without ACATS. Our results demonstrate, for fixed hardware configurations, tradeoffs between performance and reliab...
