The 2016 Shannon Workshop will take place at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China, from December 14 - 16, 2016. A series of talks and activities will be held to commemorate the centenary of Dr. Claude E. Shannon (1916-2001), who is not only the father of information theory, but also made fundamental contribution to data compression, digital computers, cryptography, circuit complexity, flow networks, and juggling, as well as laying foundations of artificial intelligence and human computer interaction. The workshop will provide a platform for researchers in various areas to share their insight, experience, and latest progress together. The topics will be but not limited to Information Theory, Computational Biology, Communication, Computation, Networking, Game Theory and so on. We are calling interested researchers to participate in this event to make a better tomorrow of science and technology.
We have invited many top notch researchers from different areas to give talks. They are from world renowned universities and research labs, such as Cornell, UC Berkeley, Caltech, Stanford, NUS, CUHK, SYSU, SJTU, Huawei Lab and so on. Confirmed speakers include the winners of Turing Award, IEEE Information Theory Society Best Paper Award, IEEE Marconi Prize Paper Award, National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, etc. The tentative speaker list is: Prof. John Hopcroft, Prof. Douglas Zhou, Prof. Babak Hassibi, Prof. Vincent Tan, Prof. Ziyu Shao, Dr. Qun Huang, Prof. Jianwei Huang, Prof. Chandra Nair, Prof. Xiaohu Tang, Prof. Yang Yang, Prof. Sid Jaggi, Prof. Ayfer Ozgur, and Prof. Xiao Ma.
