U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar Information Theory

该奖项支持美国科学家和学生参加将在夏威夷举行的美日科学家信息论联合研讨会。联合组织者是檀香山夏威夷大学的Marc Fossorier教授和日本大阪城市大学的Ikuo Oka教授。信息论是一个具有深刻国际性的研究领域，它的许多最强大的贡献者来自美国和日本。它已经成为一个领域，其中丰富的和不断发展的概念和数学结构正在不断地与当今的系统约束和应用需求相结合。该领域的许多最著名的研究人员都以他们对实践和理论的贡献而闻名，这两者通常是密切相关的。电气和电子工程师学会(IEEE)的信息理论(IT)学会的日本分会是迄今为止最大的分会。IEEE IT协会理事会建议，应特别努力发展美国和日本在这一领域的合作。因此，建议举办这个研讨会，选择夏威夷是因为它的地理位置。会议的目的是促进科学进步、理解和传播学会感兴趣的领域的研究成果，这些领域包括“编码、通信和通信网络、复杂性和密码学、检测和估计、学习、香农理论和随机过程的理论和某些应用方面”。联合组织者在该领域拥有互补的科学专业知识。这使他们能够评估并吸引最好的科学和数学家研究人员参与。研讨会组织者特别努力，让博士后和研究生既作为参与者，又作为观察员。与该领域的日本专家交换想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进他们自己的工作，并将为未来的合作项目奠定基础。研讨会结束后，组织者计划建立一个研讨会网页。会议记录将在本网站上公布。

0508025FossorierThis award supports the participation of American scientists and students in a U.S.-Japan joint workshop for scientists on information theory to be held in Hawaii. The co-organizers are Professor Marc Fossorier at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu and Professor Ikuo Oka at the Osaka City University in Japan. Information theory is a profoundly international field of study and many of its strongest contributors have come from the US and Japan. It has become a field where the rich and ever evolving conceptual and mathematical structure is being constantly combined with the system constraints and application demands of today. Many of the best-known researchers in the field are known for both their contributions to practice and to theory, and the two are usually closely related. Japan's chapter of the Information Theory (IT) Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is by far its largest chapter. The Board of Governors of the IEEE IT Society suggested that particular efforts should be made to develop collaborations between the US and Japan in this field. Therefore, this workshop was suggested and Hawaii chosen because of its geographical location. The purpose of the meeting is to promote scientific advancement, understanding, and the dissemination of research results in the fields of interest of the Societies that embraces "theoretical and certain applied aspects of coding, communication and communication networks, complexity and cryptography, detection and estimation, learning, Shannon theory, and stochastic processes." The co-organizers have complementary scientific expertise in the field. This enables them to evaluate and attract the best science and mathematician researchers to participate. The seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve postdocs and graduate students as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in the field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Following the seminar the organizers plan to establish a workshop web page. Conference proceedings will be published on this web site.
