2009 IEEE Information Theory Workshop, 2008 IEEE Information Theory Workshop, Volos

2009 Information Theory Workshop on Networking and Information Theory
Volos, Greece, June 10-12, 2009

Registration is now open

The 2009 IEEE Information Theory Workshop on Networking and Information Theory (ITW 2009, Volos) will take place on June 10-12 in Volos, Greece. Located on the Aegean coast, midway between Athens and Thessaloniki, Volos is easily reachable by car and rail. It is surrounded by numerous seaside and mountain attractions of unique beauty, while the Sporades Archipelago islands are within a short high speed boat ride from Volos port.

Its purpose is to be a forum for technical exchange among scientists and engineers working on fundamentals of networking and/or other areas of information theory, and, in particular, to promote cross-fertilization between those with interests primarily in networking and those with interests primarily in other parts of information theory.

There will be both invited and contributed sessions. Papers are solicited for, but not limited to, the following areas:

Topics in networks:
Coding
Delay-distortion
Security
Algorithms
Stability
Peer-to-peer systems
Cross-layer optimization
Game theory
Biology

Other Information Theory:
Coding theory and practice
Communication theory
Cryptography
Detection and estimation
Information theory and statistics
Multi-terminal information theory
Pattern recognition and learning
Shannon theory
Source Coding

Contributions spanning networks and other areas of information theory are particularly encouraged, and authors not ordinarily attending information theory conferences are especially welcome.

The camera ready version submission deadline is April 13, 2009
