Overview
Information Systems and Data Compression presents a uniform approach and methodology for designing intelligent information systems. A framework for information concepts is introduced for various types of information systems such as communication systems, information storage systems and systems for simplifying structured information. The book introduces several new concepts and presents a novel interpretation of a wide range of topics in communications, information storage, and information compression. Numerous illustrations for designing information systems for compression of digital data and images are used throughout the book.

Analyzes the concept of information, develops a universal methodology for designing intelligent information systems, and provides a solid basis for designing systems to compress digital data, processes, and images. Takes compression as a representative task because it requires almost all the basic techniques of information processing, and because all types of information system have information compressing subsystems. Approaches an information system as a system embedded between a superior system for which it renders services and the environment in which the superior system operates. The going will be smoother for readers familiar with the fundamental concepts of system theory and its basic mathematical tools such as optimization theory and probability theory, and with decision theory.
