This award supports cooperative research on                                     communication and information theory by William                                 Pearlman and John B. Anderson of Rensselaer                                     Polytechnic Institute and Weiler A. Finamore of the                             Pontifical Catholic University in Rio de Janeiro. The                           proposed research will advance our knowledge in areas                           of data compression and bandwidth-efficient                                     modulation. The work will be divided between efficient                          digital representation of information generated by                              analog sources and the development of modems which use                          continuous-phase modulation. The latter is one the                              latest innovations in digital information                                       transmission.                                                                                                                                                   This work brings together two leading research groups                           in the two countries. Dr. Pearlman is well-known for                            his work on quantization and new structures for                                 optimal source codes and Dr. Finamore has contributed                           to the subjects of coded modulation and source coding.                          The collaboration should benefit the scientific                                 efforts of both countries leading to advancements in                            theoretical knowledge and practical applications as                             well.
