I am on the TPC for ITW 2015 in Jeju Island, South Korea.
The 2015 IEEE Information Theory Workshop will take place in Jeju Island, Korea, from October 11 to October 15, 2015. Jeju Island is the largest island in Korea and is located in the Pacific Ocean just off the south-western tip of the Korean peninsula. Jeju Island is a volcanic island with a mountainous terrain, a dramatic rugged coastline and spectacular watershed courses. The Island has a unique culture as well as natural beauty. It is a living folk village, with approximately 540,000 people. As a result of its isolated location and romantic tropical image, Jeju Island has become a favorite retreat with honeymooners and tourists. The tour programs of the conference will also provide participants with the opportunity to feel and enjoy some of the island’s fascinating attractions.
Special topics of emphasis include:
- Big data
- Coding theory
- Communication theory
- Computational biology
- Interactive communication
- Machine learning
- Network information theory
- Privacy and security
- Signal processing
An Ergodic Walk 
Do you need an assistant to accompany you to this conference? Perhaps someone to do all the hiking and sightseeing you won’t have time to do while you’re there and report back to you on what you missed while you were at the conference? I know someone who would take on this onerous job for you…
I don’t know if I will even make it! All of this conference travel is exhausting, and the paper I want to send there has a closer co-author…
