On July 1, 2017, the fourth volume of the Ahlswede lectures on the information theory "Combinatorial Methods and Models" from the book series "Foundations in Signal Processing, Communications and Networking" (Eds: Holger Boche, Rudolf Mathar, Wolfgang Utschick) was published.

While the first part of the book focuses on combinatorial methods to analyze classical codes or codes in the Hamming metric, the second part is devoted to combinatorial models in information theory.

This fourth volume contains commentary by Alon Orlitsky and a tribute by Konrad Jakob.

More information about the current volume and the book series can be found on the publisher's homepage.
