Information
and Coding Theory Symposium

Brief Description
The community of information and coding theory has witnessed several
revolutions in the past decade. First, codes constructed based on graphical
presentations and decoded iteratively have achieved the capacities of various
channels. Second, information and coding theory for multi-terminal and
networked systems has rose as new exciting directions that may potentially
shape the future of communications over wireless media and Internet.
Third, the application of modern coding ideas have emerged from the
channel-coding regime to source-coding and multi-terminal and networked systems
as well as to security and other application areas from signal processing to
pattern recognition. Finally, new fundamental insights have been continuously
developed for various classical communication and compression problems as well
as new settings arising in the modern world. The ChinaCom2008 Information and Coding
Theory Symposium aims to provide a forum for researchers in information and coding theory to
discuss novel results, rising challenges and new applications centered on these
modern paradigms.
