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

Research Fellow in Coding Theory, University of Tartu, Estonia

Call for participation: DIMACS workshop on "Network Coding: the Next 15 Years", Rutgers University, New Jersey, December 15-17, 2015. The workshop is organized by Michael Langberg (SUNY Buffalo), Emina Soljanin (Bell Labs), and Alex Sprintson (TAMU).
