From the reviews:
“This new anthology on formal theories of information is based upon research presented at the May 2006 Muenchenwiler seminar of the Information and Knowledge research groups of the computer science departments of the universities of Bern, Fribourg, and Neuchatel. … This is probably the clearest account of algorithmic information theory that one will come across. … Formal theories of information and their philosophical analysis are being developed right now, and this is what makes a volume of this quality so welcome.” (Sebastian Sequoiah-Grayson, Minds and Machines, Vol. 22, 2012)
