ITaS 2015 - Information Technologies and Systems 2015 (ITaS 2015)

Since 2007, the Institute for Information Transmission Problems (IITP), one of
leading Russian centres of research in computer science, is organizing the
series of meetings Information Technologies and Systems (ITaS). Defined as
“Conference and School”, the ITaS series is designed to gather mature as well as
young scientists at an event that has both research and educational value.
Every year a dozen of outstanding scientists in the hottest research areas
within the ITaS scope, as well as chief officers and leading engineers of world
industry leaders (EADS/Airbus, 2011; Intel, 2011, 2014; Huawei, 2014; Yandex,
2010, 2014) and innovation companies address the ITaS audience with keynotes and
tutorials on the latest developments in their research fields.
Keynote speakers of the 2015 edition are:
(to be extended)
* Prof. Giuseppe Bianchi, Tor Vergata, Italy
* Prof. Bela Bollobas, University of Cambridge, UK
* Prof. Vadim Gladyshev, Harvard Medical School, US
* Prof. Philipp Khaitovich, Skoltech, Russia
* Prof. Enno Mammen, University of Mannheim, Germany
* Prof. Sergey Nuzhdin, University of South Carolina, US
* Prof. Alexandre Proutiere, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
* Prof. Vladimir Spokoiny, Humboldt-Universitaet, Germany
* Prof. Anatoly Vershik, St Petersburg Dept of Steklov Institute
of Mathematics, Russia
We invite the researchers to present their recent results, which will be
published as regular papers in the conference proceedings. Being a School, we
also invite M.Sc./Ph.D. students and postdocs to exchange their research
experience, to present their results, and to obtain feedback from senior
colleagues.
The key feature of ITaS is interdisciplinarity with a core in computer science.
To address the hot topics of computer and information sciences, we organize
four platforms, including (i) mathematical aspects of complex systems science,
(ii) telecommunications, coding, and information theory, (iii) data science,
and (iv) bioinformatics.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
Mathematics and Physics:
* Mathematical theory of information and control
* Stochastic systems with many components
* Algebraic geometry and number theory
* Combinatorial and probabilistic aspects of representation theory
* Modal logics
* Integrable systems
* Statistical and quantum field theory
Future Internet:
* Next generation networks and their architectures
* 5G wireless networks
* Multihop wireless networks (MANET, VANET, mesh, DAWN, sensor)
