Shannon's highly influential 1948 paper.
Algorithmic Information Theory
G. J. Chaitin's series of lectures at the Santa Fe Institute in April 1995.

A controversial paper by Max Tegmark suggesting that the algorithmic information content of the universe as a whole is close to zero.

Gödel's Theorem and Information
A G.J.Chaitin proof of Gödel's Theorem using arguments having an algorithmic information theory flavor.
How Many Bytes in Human Memory
A 1988 paper by Ralph C. Merkle.
Information Theory Primer With an Appendix on Loga
A introduction written for molecular biologists who are unfamiliar with information theory
Information: the Concept
An introductory article on information and probability distributions( version of 98-06-10). The first in a sequence of introductory articles on information and probability distributions by Marijke van Gans.
Intelligent Design as a Theory of Information
A particular philosophical approach to the definition of information.
Irreducible Complexity and Multiscale Reductionism
System complexity seen from a different point of view.
On the descriptive terminology of the information
Koszteyn and Lenartowicz consider the information transfer between organisms as a multi-layer reality consisting of at least two levels: the message and its production.
Publications ( Moshe Sipper )
Interesting papers on evolutionary computation and on computation in artificially evolved, non-uniform cellular automata.
Quantum Algorithmic Information Theory
An agenda of quantum algorithmic information theory, ordered `top-down' by Karl Svozil : the quantum halting amplitude, followed by the quantum algorithmic information content, which in turn requires the theory of quantum computation.
The Computational Notion of Life
Claus EMMECHE, 1994. This paper makes an interesting link between concepts of computation, cellular automata and the definition of the concept of information.
The Nature of Autonomous Agents and the World They
In this paper Stuart A.Kauffman's uses the concept of information in a novel way.
The Quantum Theory of Ur-Objects as a Theory of In
Here the quantum theory of ur-objects proposed by C. F. von Weizsaecker is reviewed, and the philosophical consequences of its interpretation as an information theory are demonstrated by means of some important concepts of physics such as time, space, entropy, energy, and matter, which in ur theory appear to be directly connected with information as ''the'' fundamental substance.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
A rather puzzling article by Brig Klyce about entropy with references to living systems from the point of view of thermodynamics and information theory.
Units, Events and Dynamics in Memetic Evolution
In this paper A.Lynch unveils the close relationship between "memes","replicators" and "information".
