- Memetic Science: A General Introduction The paper presents a foundation for discussion of memes. It argues that recombinant memetics is possible in complete analogy to recombinant DNA / genetic engineering.
- 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.

- The Information Theory Paper Award The purpose of the Information Theory Paper Award is to recognize exceptional publications in the field and to stimulate interest in and encourage contributions.
- 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.
- Units, Events and Dynamics in Memetic Evolution In this paper A.Lynch unveils the close relationship between "memes","replicators" and "information".
- Does the Universe in Fact Contain Almost No Information? A controversial paper by Max Tegmark suggesting that the algorithmic information content of the universe as a whole is close to zero (PDF).
- The Nature of Autonomous Agents and the World They Mutally Create In this paper Stuart A.Kauffman's uses the concept of information in a novel way.
- 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 (PDF).
- Quantum Information Theory A presentation at the undergraduate level by Michael Gibbs.
- Linear Complexity: A Literature Survey The linear complexity (LC) of a sequence is the size in bits of the shortest linear feedback shift register (LFSR) which can produce that sequence. The measure therefore speaks to the difficulty of generating -- and perhaps analyzing -- a particular sequence.
- Biosemiotics A comprehensive site dedicated to biosemiotics, an interdisciplinary science that studies communication and signification in living systems.
- Intelligent Design as a Theory of Information A particular philosophical approach to the definition of information.

- DCU Artificial Life Laboratory Page focused on exploring the synthesis of basic Autopoietic Agents in computer created virtual computational structures (Virtual Chemistry).
- IEEE Information Theory Society Web Portal The site is devoted to the classical theoretical and experimental communicational aspects of Information transmission and processing.
- 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.
- Entropy in Information Theory A collection of links to on-line expository articles on entropy and theory of information.
- Publications ( Moshe Sipper ) Interesting papers on evolutionary computation and on computation in artificially evolved, non-uniform cellular automata.
- The Quantum Theory of Ur-Objects as a Theory of Information 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.
