Dear Sigcis members, I joined the list several months ago but I did not introduce myself yet, so I would like to do it now: I am Mai Sugimoto, a Ph.D student of Kyoto University in Japan. I have been studying about Claude Shannon, and recently I began to do research about Calvin Mooers. I would like to reassess the achievement of Shannon. Also I am interested in what electorical engineering people thought about "information" during 1940s and 1950s. Now I am doing my dissertation research at Charles Babbage Institute till the end of this August. Best, Mai Sugimoto ----- Mai Sugimoto Ph.D Student, Program of Philosophy and History of Science, Kyoto University, Japan nix.pura@gmail.com
