  • Abstract
    The theory of communication and information has fundamental applications in our daily life activities. Examples of such applications are: lossless data compression (e.g. ZIP files), lossy data compression (e.g. MP3s), and channel coding (e.g. DSL lines). In this paper we introduce an interactive communication model simulator to facilitate teaching and learning of the basic concepts of the theory of information and communication and related topics.
