  • Application of Information Theory
  • Multiuser Information Theory
  • Quantum Information Processing
  • Coding Theory and Practice
  • Coded Modulation
  • Data Compression and Source Coding
  • Communication Systems
  • Cooperative Communication
  • Cryptology and Data Security
  • Information Theory and Statistics
  • Signal Processing
  • Pattern Recognition and Learning
  • Sequences and Complexity
  • Multi-terminal Information Theory
  • Data Networks
  • Detection and Estimation
  • Cognitive Radio

Authors wishing to have papers considered for the workshop should electronically submit their full papers (maximum four pages) in PDF format by   January 15, 2011 through EDAS ( http://edas.info/index.php ) using the standard IEEE two-column format. Accepted papers will be published on IEEE Xplore website and in the proceedings of the workshop. Paper acceptance will be announced on March 15, 2011. Authors of papers accepted for the workshop will be requested to submit a four-page camera-ready paper no later than April 1, 2011.

For the first time, Canadian Society of Information Theory (CSIT) will sponsor a School of Information Theory immediately prior to or after the CWIT 2011. The goal of the School of Information Theory is to bring graduate students and senior researchers together to participate in a stimulating and informative tutorial program related to information theory and its applications.
