Organizer(s)
Elwyn Berlekamp, Joe Buhler, Dave Forney, Abraham Lempel, Gadiel Seroussi (co-chair), Sergio Verdu (co-chair), Andy Viterbi, and Marcelo Weinberger
To apply for funding, you must
register by Mon, Dec 10 2001.
This workshop will focus on the exciting current developments in source and channel coding, as well as such new areas in information theory as quantum error correction and bioinformatics. Sergio Verdu will be visiting MSRI for the Spring Semester as Hewlett Packard Visiting Research Professor. Efforts will be made to expose some of the topics at a level suitable for a broad audience of mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers. Computational and algorithmic themes permeate this area and will figure prominently. There will be a discussion of current open problems.

Funding
Students, recent Ph.D.'s, women, and members of underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged to apply. Funding awards are made typically 6 weeks before the workshop begins. Requests received after the funding deadline are considered only if additional funds become available.
