Information and Entropy in Biological Systems Workshop
Ever since Shannon initiated research on information theory in 1948, there have been hopes that the concept of information could serve as a tool to help systematize and unify work in biology. The link between information and entropy was noted very early on, and it suggested that a full thermodynamic understanding of biology would naturally involve the information processing and storage that are characteristic of living organisms. However, the subject is full of conceptual pitfalls for the unwary, and progress has been slower than initially expected. Premature attempts at ‘grand syntheses’ have often misfired. But applications of information theory and entropy to specific highly focused topics in biology have been increasingly successful, such as:
• the maximum entropy principle in ecology,
• Shannon and Rényi entropies as measures of biodiversity,
• information theory in evolutionary game theory,
• information and the thermodynamics of individual cells.
Because they work in diverse fields, researchers in these specific topics have had little opportunity to trade insights and take stock of the progress so far. The aim of the workshop is to do just this.
Andrew J. Viterbi Distinguished Lecture in Communication : H. Vincent Poor

Algorithms, Radio, and Coding Workshop
The Algorithms, Radio, and Coding Workshop in honor of Prof. Robert Calderbank's 60th birthday will be held in La Jolla, CA on January 31, 2015 and February 1st, 2015. This is the weekend before the Information Theory and Applcations (ITA) workshop in La Jolla, CA
SP Coding and Information School
SPCodingSchool is a two week long school on coding and Information Theory, to be held in Brazil in January 2013. Leading researchers in the area will give both introductory courses (during the first week) and advanced courses (in the second one). The introductory courses are aimed to students that have consistent mathematical background but not necessarily acquainted with Coding and Information Theory.
Up to 90 selected students will be fully supported (flight ticket plus generous expenses) through a grant given by Fapesp, the Science Foundation of the State of São Paulo.
GlobalSIP 2014: IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing
The IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP) is a recently launched flagship conference of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. It is made up of a series of symposia and workshops. GlobalSIP 2014 will focus broadly on signal and information processing with an emphasis on up-and-coming signal processing themes.

Recent Innovations in Info-Metrics
A two-day conference with the goal to continue the study of the foundations of info-metrics and information processing across the sciences.
Biological and Bio-Inspired Information Theory Workshop
This BIRS workshop will explore the areas of biological and bio-inspired information theory, focusing on mathematical open problems that cut across the areas of:
Information theory and biochemistry (including information theory and intercellular communication);
Information theory and neuroscience; and
Information-theoretic analysis of biologically-inspired communication systems (including nanonetworking and design of biologically implemented information processing networks).
The main objectives of this workshop will be: to bring together the most prominent researchers in this field; to discuss and review the current state of mathematical research in this field; to promote cross-pollination among the various streams of research to find common problems; and to collectively identify key future directions or open problems that would bring the greatest impact to this field over the next few years.
Workshop on Physical-Layer Methods for Wireless Security - IEEE CNS Conference
The Physical-layer Methods for Wireless Security Workshop will take place during IEEE CNS 2014 in San Francisco, CA, on October 29, 2014. CNS is a spin-off of the IEEE INFOCOM conference and is an outstanding forum for cyber security researchers.
IEEE CNS workshop on Physical-layer Methods for Wireless Security
This workshop will focus on physical-layer methods for wireless security. It is part of the IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security to be held in San Francisco, CA.
ISITA 2014
ISITA2014 - the International Symposium on Information Theory and Its Applications - will be held in Melbourne, Australia from 26 to 29 October 2014. This biennial event, first held in 1990, is a leading conference in the information theory community. ISITA2014 features world-class speakers, plenary talks and technical sessions on a diverse range of topics within the field of information theory.
DIMACS Conference on Challenges of Identifying Integer Sequences
The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) began in 1996 with 10,000 sequences. The database was started by Neil Sloane in 1964 when, as a graduate student, he began collecting integer sequences on file cards, and was published by Academic Press in 1973 as A Handbook of Integer Sequences, containing 2372 sequences. The popularity of the Handbook eventually led to the publication of The Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences by Neil Sloane and Simon Plouffe in 1995, containing 5488 sequences. The website was created a year later and has continued to grow ever since.
This conference will invite participants to discuss the challenges and advances in research in the computational sciences that can be attributed to the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. Conference attendees will participate in discussions on the importance of having an easily accessible database and the difficulties of identifying and computing sequences. The conference will also celebrate three milestones: the 50th birthday of the database, reaching 250,000 sequences, and Sloane's 75th birthday.
