Abstract
In this article, we commemorate Joy Thomas, who sadly passed away in 2020. Joy is best known for his seminal textbook Elements of Information Theory, coauthored with his Ph.D. advisor the late Thomas Cover. We also catalog some of Joy’s technical contributions to information theory and to its practice. Joy also made an impact on industry through several successful startups. In recognition of Joy’s contribution to the exposition of information theory, the IEEE Information Theory Society Board of Governors has agreed to establish the Joy Thomas IEEE Information Theory Society Tutorial Paper Award. The Joy Thomas Foundation, established to honor Joy’s legacy of excellence and giving back, will sponsor this award.
在这篇文章中，我们纪念乔伊·托马斯，他在2020年不幸去世。乔伊最为人所知的是他的开创性教科书《信息论要素》(Elements of Information Theory)，这本书是他与已故的博士导师托马斯·盖伊(Thomas Cover)合著的。我们还列出了乔伊对信息理论及其实践的一些技术贡献。乔伊还通过几家成功的创业公司对行业产生了影响。为了表彰Joy在阐述信息理论方面的贡献，IEEE信息理论学会理事会同意设立Joy Thomas IEEE信息理论学会指导论文奖。乔伊·托马斯基金会(Joy Thomas Foundation)将赞助这一奖项，该基金会的成立是为了纪念乔伊的卓越遗产和回馈社会。
