Call For Participation

Sde-Boker; January 7 -- January 11, 2013.

We would like to invite you to participate in the "What is Information" workshop, to be held in Sde Boker, Israel, January 7-11, 2013.

This interdisciplinary workshop is meant to explore all facets of the notion of information as it appears in classical and quantum information theory, thermodynamics, cosmology and high energy physics, machine learning, computer science, biology, cognitive science, networks and complexity theory among others.

The workshop is fashioned to resemble the first "What is Information" workshop which was held a decade ago at the same venue with great success. The venue, Sde Boker is located in a magnificent desert setting. The workshop will include 4 days of talks and a 1-day jeep tour of the nearby Ramon crater. In addition we will have a conference dinner and a visit to the local spa. The program will provide ample time for informal discussions.

We will provide room and board, free of charge for participants, based on availability. Please register, by sending email to: ebachmat at cs.bgu.ac.il

Please specify title, affilation and area of interest. If you are not planning to stay for the entire conference, please inform us about the dates in which you need room and board. The number of rooms avaliable is limited and therefore we may not be able to accept all requests. Notification will be provided, 2-3 weeks before the workshop.
