The first edition of the monograph Information and Randomness: An
Algorithmic Perspective by Crist ian Calude was published in 1994.
In my Foreword I said: "The research in algorithmic information
theory is already some 30 years old. However, only the recent years
have witnessed a really vigorous growth in this area. . . . The
present book by Calude fits very well in our series. Much original
research is presented. . . making the approach richer in
consequences than the classical one. Remarkably, however, the text
is so self-contained and coherent that the book may also serve as a
textbook. All proofs are given in the book and, thus, it is not
necessary to consult other sources for classroom instruction. " The
vigorous growth in the study of algorithmic information theory has
continued during the past few years, which is clearly visible in
the present second edition. Many new results, examples, exercises
and open prob lems have been added. The additions include two
entirely new chapters: "Computably Enumerable Random Reals" and
"Randomness and Incom pleteness." The really comprehensive new
bibliography makes the book very valuable for a researcher. The new
results about the characterization of computably enumerable random
reals, as well as the fascinating Omega Numbers, should contribute
much to the value of the book as a textbook. The author has been
directly involved in these results that have appeared in the
prestigious journals Nature, New Scientist and Pour la Science."
