The 2016 Workshop on Network Coding and Applications (NetCod 2016) will be held in Washington, DC in conjunction with Globecom 2016. We invite original, previously unpublished papers in the broad area of network coding. Both mature and early-stage results are welcome.

Topics of interests include (but not limited to) the following:

• Information theory and fundamental limits of network coding
• Network code constructions and algorithms
• Architectural design and optimization aspects of network coding
• Cross layer paradigms in network coding
• Robustness, energy, feedback, or delay aspects of network coding
• Security and codes for network error correction
• Index coding
• Coded caching
• Codes for streaming
• Codes with locality
• Physical layer network coding
• Codes for distributed storage
• Network coding for wireless communication
• Applications of network coding
• Implementation and deployment aspects of network coding
• Standardization efforts and network coding in 5G
• Network coding for computing and compression

Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their manuscripts for review. Submitted papers will be reviewed by experts in the field and must be no longer than 6 pages, using the standard IEEE style for conference papers. The proceedings will appear in IEEE Xplore.

The symposium will feature a Student Paper award.
