Communication systems to date primarily aim at reliably communicating bit
sequences. Such an approach provides efficient engineering designs that are
agnostic to the meanings of the messages or to the goal that the message
exchange aims to achieve. Next generation systems, however, can be potentially
enriched by folding message semantics and goals of communication into their
design. Further, these systems can be made cognizant of the context in which
communication exchange takes place, providing avenues for novel design
insights. This tutorial summarizes the efforts to date, starting from its early
adaptations, semantic-aware and task-oriented communications, covering the
foundations, algorithms and potential implementations. The focus is on
approaches that utilize information theory to provide the foundations, as well
as the significant role of learning in semantics and task-aware communications.
