The theory, whose foundations were laid in 1948 when Claude Shannon introduced a general mathematical theory of the inherent information content in data and its reliable communication in the presence of noise, also prompted a trillion-dollar communications industry windfall.</p> 160<p>Yet while Shannon's Theory has had profound social and economic impacts, its application beyond storage and point-to-point communication to the Internet, for example poses one of the most vexing challenges for scientists and engineers today. To keep pace with rapid advances in networking, biology, and quantum information processing, we need to rethink how we understand and integrate information.</p> 161<p>The Center for Science of Information advances the next generation of information theory through collaborative research and teaching. Supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant entitled "Emerging Frontiers of Science of Information," the Center for Science of Information is the first NSF-funded Science and Technology Center in Indiana. By assimilating elements of <em>space, time, structure, semantics</em>, and <em>context,</em> we will deepen our understanding of information and apply these results to critical problems in society.</p> 162<p>Specifically through the Center for Science of Information, we will:</p> 163<ul> 164<li>Define core theoretical principles governing transfer of information</li> 165<li>Develop metrics and methods for information</li> 166<li>Apply information to problems in physical science, social science, and engineering</li> 167<li>Offer a venue for multi-disciplinary, long-term collaborations</li> 168<li>Explore effective ways to educate students</li> 169<li>Train the next generation of information theory researchers</li> 170<li>Broaden participation of underrepresented groups</li> 171<li>Transfer advances in research to education and industry</li> 172</ul> 173<p> </p> 174<p>To accomplish these objectives, we will sponsor workshops and seminars that encourage interdisciplinary collaborations. We also will engage in multi-institutional, grant-supported investigations that broaden our understanding of information. And, to create a pipeline for information careers of the future, we will create new interdisciplinary courses for both undergraduate and graduate students and establish fellowships to make graduate education more accessible.</p> 175 </div> 176 </div> 177 </div> 178 </main> 179 180 <!-- Begin Footer --> 181 182 <footer class="bottom"> 183 <div class="container"> 184 <div class="row"> 185 <div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> 186 <p>Copyright © Purdue University, all rights reserved.
