2015 North American School of Information Theory
The School of Information Theory will bring together over 100 graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and leading researchers for four action-packed days of learning, stimulating discussions, professional networking and fun activities, all on the beautiful campus of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and in the nearby beach town of La Jolla.
Workshop on Sensing and Analysis of High-Dimensional Data (SAHD 2015)
Workshop on Sensing and Analysis of High-Dimensional Data
The fifth workshop on Sensing and Analysis of High-Dimensional Data (SAHD 2015) will be hosted by Duke University on July 27-29, 2015. All attendees are invited to present original research.
The sensing and analysis of high-dimensional data is a multidisciplinary research area that includes compressed sensing, high dimensional statistics, and machine learning. This workshop will bring together world-class researchers working in this area from the fields of mathematics, statistics, engineering, and computer science.

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.

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.
