The Information Theory Society Paper Award is given annually for an outstanding publication in the fields of interest to the Society and appearing anywhere during the preceding two calendar years.

The Joint Communications Society/Information Theory Society Paper Award recognizes outstanding papers that lie at the intersection of communications and information theory.

The IEEE Information Theory Society Thomas M. Cover Dissertation Award is given 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 Information Theory Society

The deadline for submission to the conference track has been extended by one week until November 28

This is just a quick reminder about upcoming deadlines for award nominations.

The 3rd Iran Workshop on Communication and Information Theory (IWCIT) will take place at Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran on Wednesday May 6th and Thursday May 7th, 2015.

This is the eighth in a series of conferences that aims to bring together the leading researchers in the areas of information theory, quantum information theory, and cryptography. ICITS covers all aspects of information-theoretic security, from relevant mathematical tools to theoretical modeling to implementation. Papers on all technical aspects of these topics are solicited for submission

The manuscript submission deadline has been extend to October 20, 2014
