Chair, Ann Kerr Bache

John Riganati, Sarnoff Corporation
"Memory, Communication, Computation:  Three Facets of An Underlying Reality"

This talk explores the why, whence and whither of memory in the context of its communication and computation companions.  The three facets form a constantly changing tri-stranded braid which presents new opportunities and challenges with every major advance in any one of the three. In "The Mathematical Theory of Communication", Claude Shannon taught us that information is the property of an event in context.  The context of memory involves communication and computation.  What is needed is "The Mathematical Theory of Memory". Some of the considerations upon which such a theory should build are presented.
