The 2000 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory will be held
at the Conference Center of the Sorrento Palace Hotel, Sorrento, Italy,
from Sunday, June 25, through Friday, June 30, 2000.
Papers presenting contributions to the following areas are solicited:
* Coded modulation * History of information theory
* Coding theory and practice * Multiuser detection
* Communication complexity * Multiuser information theory
* Communication systems * Pattern recognition and learning
* Cryptology * Quantum information processing
* Data compression * Shannon theory
* Data networks * Signal processing
* Detection and estimation * Source coding
Papers will be reviewed on the basis of an extended summary of sufficient
detail to permit reasonable evaluation. The deadline for submission is
September 15, 1999, with notification of decision by February 1, 2000.
In view of the large number of submissions expected, multiple submissions
by the same author will receive especially stringent scrutiny. Abstracts
of the papers presented at the Symposium will appear in the Proceedings.
{\em Four copies} of extended summaries should be mailed to the program
co-chair:
Professor Thomas Ericson
Link\:opings Universitet
ISY, Datatransmission
SE-581 83 Link\:oping (Sweden)
It is expected that a small number of grants for the partial reimbursement
of travel costs may be available for the authors of accepted papers
whose resources would not otherwise enable them to attend the Symposium.
Detailed information on the technical program, special events, accommodations,
travel arrangements, excursions and applications for travel grants will
be posted to the Symposium Web site:
