It is with great sadness that we share the news that Professor Sir David MacKay, General Chair of ITW 2016, lost his battle against cancer and passed away on the 14 April 2016. There is an
announcement on the IT society website and an obituary here.
Please consult the workshop twitter account.
The IEEE Information Theory Workshop (ITW) covered all topics broadly related to information theory. In addition to its traditional scope, the 2016 edition also focused on the intersections of information theory, machine learning, and compressed sensing. The conference took place at Robinson College, the youngest of the Cambridge colleges founded in 1979, offering modern dedicated conference facilities in a cosy residential setup and easy access to the sights and attractions in central Cambridge that lie within a 10 minutes walk of the college.
We enjoyed having you all in Cambridge on September 11 to 14, 2016! Thank you for attending! The conference chairs. You may want to also attend the following events around ITW 2016:- International Symposium on Turbo Codes and Iterative Processing taking place the preceding week in Brest, France
- London Workshop on Sparse Signal Processing taking place just after the workshop.
