The 2013 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, from Sunday July 7th through Friday July 12th, 2013. Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and the cultural, economic, and financial center of the country. The city is a bridge between two continents as well as between cultures and traditions. In its long history, Istanbul has served as the capital of the Eastern Roman and Ottoman empires, whose legacy still survives in the city’s architecture and culture.

Interested authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished contributions from a broad range of topics related to information theory, including (but not limited to) the following areas:

Coding theory and practice
Communication theory
