AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course will introduce the topic of information representation in data storing and processing systems. Basic knowledge on the characterization of continuous and discrete information, on coding and compression techniques, and on some cryptography algorithms will be provided.

TEACHING METHODS

Class lectures

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The concept of information: continuous and discrete signals and messages; basic key ideas of a communication system or network and of an information processing system. Continuous information sources: characterization and analog-to-digital conversion. Discrete information sources and coding: quantitative information measures and entropy; discrete source coding, examples of coding algorithms (e.g., Shannon-Fano, Huffman, Lempel-Ziv-Welch); basic concepts of cryptography and IT security.
