Two PhD positions are now available in the Department of Electrical Engineering - Systems at Tel Aviv University, Israel, in the fields of information theory and interactive communications. Starting immediately for up to two years. Funded by the European Research Committee (ERC).

Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Information Theory Society Newsletter: call for contributions.

The James. L Massey award recognizes outstanding achievement in research and teaching by a Society member under 40 years of age in the Information Theory community. The award is given annually to a single recipient and includes a plaque and $1000 honorarium.

The Marconi Society was established in 1974 to honor Guglielmo Marconi, the Nobel laureate who invented radio (wireless telegraphy) Along with the annual Marconi Prize to a living scientist or scientists whose contributions in the field of information and communications science have benefited mankind, the Society recognizes young scientists and engineers with the potential to make game-changing contributions in the field of communications and the Internet. We are now seeking nominations for the 2015 Paul Baran Young Scholar Awards, which will be presented in London on Oct. 20th at the Royal Society. Young Scholars receive a $4000 cash prize plus $1000 in expenses to attend the event. This is an opportunity for them to gain well-deserved recognition, and meet and network with some of the industry's best-known scientists and engineers.

Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ offers the LaTeX class "Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­tran.cls" that provides the correct layout for Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­-style publications (both conferences and transactions). It also provides powerful math-typesetting tools like Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­eqnarray and similar. Unfortunately, there exist many tampered versions of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­tran.cls that result in a potentially very bad layout! Please make sure to use the official and current version of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­tran.cls!

Recently, a number of advances in the theory of computation have been made by using information-theoretic arguments (e.g., in communication complexity, streaming, and data structures lower bounds). Conversely, some of the most exciting ongoing work in information theory has focused on problems with a computational component (e.g., distributed function computation, relaying over a network, message-passing algorithms). The primary goal of this program is to explore the rich interplay between information theory and the theory of computation, and ultimately create new connections and collaborations between both scientific communities.
