Hi Prakash,
let me add 'my portion' about conditional mutual information
already mentioned by Judea Pearl, namely paper with Jirina Vejnarova
where several simple mathematical results supporting the arguments in
favour of this measure are gathered and certain information-theoretical
level-specific measures of dependence are introduced:

Similar but probably different level-specific measures were lately
introduced by Shun-ichi Amari <amari@brain.riken.go.jp>.
For other (older) my works (no ps version is available) in this
direction see my home page under item 'Measures of dependence':
