Announcement of, and call for contributions to, the Workshop on Methods of Information Theory in Computational Neuroscience at CNS*2018, Seattle, USA, July 17-18, 2018.

The purpose of this award is to recognize outstanding achievement in research and teaching by young scholars in the Information Theory community. The award is named in honor of James L. Massey, who was an internationally acclaimed pioneer in digital communications and a revered teacher and mentor to an entire generation of communications engineers. He was one of the outstanding researchers and leaders of the IEEE Information Theory Society over a period of 50 years.

The IEEE Information Theory Society Thomas M. Cover Dissertation Award, established in 2013, is awarded annually to the author of an outstanding doctoral dissertation contributing to the mathematical foundations of any of the information sciences within the purview of the Society including, but not limited to, Shannon theory, source and channel coding theory, data compression, learning theory, quantum information theory and computing, complexity theory, and applications of information theory in probability and statistics.

A joint project between University College Cork (UCC) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was about understanding the impact of George Boole's ideas and Shannon's remarkable work on modeling switching using Boolean algebra.
