Abstract
In this paper we perform the encoding for sources which are only qualitatively
characterized, that is, each message the source delivers possesses a certain quality,
expressed as cost, importance or utility. The proposed encoding procedure is an optimal
one, because it leads to maximum information per code word and it assures a minimum
time for the transmission of the source information.
