SYSU Workshop on Network Information Theory and Coding

The Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) Workshop on Network Information Theory and Coding went well in the University’s Guangzhou South Campus in Guangzhou, China on September 26, 2020. This workshop was organized by the IEEE Information Theory Society Guangzhou Chapter, co-sponsored by Sun Yat-sen University and the Chinese Institute of Electronics Information Theory Society . More than 50 scholars and industry partners from mainland China participated the Workshop. A few others from Hong Kong, including the first speaker Raymond Yeung of CUHK, participated online due to travel restrictions. The Guangzhou Chapter experimented resuming the first onsite conference after the outbreak of COVID-19. We were pleased it went well.
