Claude E. Shannon Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Claude E. Shannon Award of the IEEE Information Theory Society was instituted to honour consistent and profound contributions to the field of information theory. Each Shannon Award winner is expected to present a Shannon Lecture at the following IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory. It is the most prestigious prize in information theory, comprising contributions at the interface of Mathematics, Communication Engineering and Theoretical Computer Science.
