This National meeting aims at reuniting the European IT Community and providing the opportunity to young and senior researchers to share recent results in network information theory. In particular, the meeting welcomes contributions in the areas of, but is not limited to caching and data storage, index coding, Gaussian channels and secrecy, energy harvesting in communications, source-channel coding and finite length analysis. To this end, researchers and students from communications, electrical engineering, computer sciences, statistics and applied mathematics are very welcome to attend. Industry also has an important place in this meeting and thus, researchers from different companies are also invited to attend.

in a broad range of areas in electrical and computer engineering including devices, communications, networking, signal processing, big data analysis, and energy systems; and the areas of computer architecture/embedded systems, data science, and networking, for joint hiring with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Submissions solicited for a special issue of Int. J. of Information and Coding Theory on "Information and Coding Theory for Data Storage". Important dates: Submission of manuscripts: March 1, 2016 Notification of decision: June 1, 2016 Publication: late 2016

The 2016 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory seeks tutorial proposals, which should provide clear and focused teaching material covering new and emerging topics within the scope of the conference.

Up to two postdoc positions are offered at the Mathematics Department, at University of Campinas – Unicamp, Brazil, for young researchers in Coding Theory and Discrete Geometries.

There is a non-zero chance that Google will honour Shannon’s 100th birthday with one of their animated “doodles” -- we need your ideas!

In conjunction with the 2015 launch of the IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications (http://www.comsoc.org/tmbmc) and the IEEE Globecom Conference in San Diego (December 6-10, 2015), we are holding a workshop on Communications, Inference, and Computing in Molecular and Biological Systems. It will be a 1 ½ day event between Thursday and Friday, December 3-4, 2015. The workshop will be held on the University of Southern California campus in Los Angeles with easy access to Los Angeles International Airport, train and metro service.

The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia is offering a full PhD scholarship. Applications close 30 November 2015.

Postdoctoral researcher position in the areas of privacy and security in cyber-physical systems, particularly for smart metering applications in smart grids. Previous research experience and a strong track record in information theory, signal processing, and optimisation theory is required. The position is in the Intelligent Systems and Networks Group within the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department of Imperial College London.
