🚀 Announcing the “Workshop on the Information Theory of Future Networks” at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
📅 [March 2nd to March 4th, 2026] • 📍 [Karlsruhe, Germany]
The next generation of communication systems—6G, IoT, satellite constellations, and AI‑driven networking—will be built on the foundations of information theory. To spark new ideas, foster collaborations, and chart the research agenda for the future, we are bringing together a distinguished line‑up of invited speakers for a three‑day deep‑dive workshop.
The topics of interest will include:
1️⃣ Approximate Message Passing (AMP) & Statistical Physics – tools that turn high‑dimensional inference into tractable algorithms for communications and machine learning.
2️⃣ New Frontiers in Information Theory for Communications – finite‑blocklength analysis, ultra‑reliable low‑latency (URLLC), multi‑access, integrated sensing‑communication, and non‑terrestrial networks.
3️⃣ Information‑Theoretic Foundations for Statistical Learning – how AI/ML can be rigorously integrated into wireless system design.
Program
The detailed program will be available on shortly
Social events
There will be a joint dinner at Hoepfner Burghof on Tuesday, March 3rd
