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.
The IEEE Information Theory Workshop (ITW) covers all topics broadly related to information theory. In addition to its traditional scope, the 2016 edition will also focus on the intersections of information theory, machine learning, and compressed sensing. The conference will take 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.
Important Dates:
- Final Paper Submission: 31 July 2016
- Papers without an associated registration will be deleted from the programme and from the proceedings
- 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.
