On December 13, at 4 p.m., will take place the colloquium “The Legacy of Claude Shannon”.
Claude Shannon (1916-2001), with his 1948 seminal article “A mathematical Theory of Communication” setting the general rules of contemporary information theory, laid the mathematical foundations for a technical revolution that we are currently enjoying. With his further work he brought deep theoretical insights and contributions for the convergence of computing and communications.
This joint initiative of Centro Internacional de Matemática and Instituto de Telecomunicações, in collaboration with Instituto Superior Técnico and other institutions, celebrates Shannon’s legacy at Universidade de Lisboa on the occasion of his centenary.
Venue: Salão Nobre
