This volume is dedicated to the memory of Rudolf Ahlswede, who passed away in December 2010. The Festschrift contains 36 thoroughly refereed research papers from a memorial symposium, which took place in July 2011. The four macro-topics of this workshop: theory of games and strategic planning; combinatorial group testing and database mining; computational biology and string matching; information coding and spreading and patrolling on networks; provide a comprehensive picture of the vision Rudolf Ahlswede put forward of a broad and systematic theory of search.

The Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) of the University of Bielefeld hosteda researchgroupunder the title GeneralTheoryof InformationTransfer andCombinatorics, abbreviatedasGTIT-C,fromOctober1,2001toSeptember 30, 2004. As head of the research group the editor shaped the group's scienti?c directionsand its personalcomposition. He followed ideas, problems and results which had occupied him during the past decade and which seem to extend the frontiers of information theory in severaldirections.The maincontributions concerninformationtransferby ch- nels. There are also new questions and some answers in new models of source coding. While many of the investigations are in an explorative state, there are also hard cores of mathematical theories. In particular, a uni?ed theory of inf- mation transfer was presented, which naturally incorporates Shannon's Theory of Information Transmission and the Theory of Identi?cation in the presence of noiseas extremalcases.It providesseveralnovelcoding theorems.Onthe source coding side the concept of identi?cation entropy is introduced. Finally, beyond information theory new concepts of solutions for probabilistic algorithms arose. In addition to this book there will be a specialissue ofDiscrete Applied Ma- ematics General Theory of Information Transfer and Combinatorics  in three parts, which covers primarily work with a stronger emphasis on the second c- ponent, combinatorics. It begins with an updated version of General Theory of Information Transfer  in order to make the theory known to a broader - dience and continues with other new directions such as bioinformatics, search, sorting and ordering, cryptology and number theory, and networks with many new suggestions for connections.
