Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Communication and compression, the two pillars of information and coding theory, have undergone a revolution in the past decade with the advent of new paradigms and challenges (e.g., the Internet of Things, molecular and biological communications, neural network compression, and perceptual compression). Furthermore, information and coding theory has evolved from a communication- and compression-centric research field to the driving force behind a myriad of new applications (including distributed storage, cloud computing, and data analysis, among others); in addition, it has shifted from focusing almost exclusively on efficiency-oriented performance metrics to encompassing security, privacy, and fairness considerations. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in information and coding theory as well as their broad impacts. It has been designed with a wide scope in mind and welcomes novel research contributions that involve information- and coding-theoretic analyses, concepts, methodologies, or applications. Areas of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) coding theory and applications, communication theory, emerging applications of information theory, coded and distributed computing, network coding and data storage, information-theoretic methods in machine learning, information theory in data science, security and privacy, network information theory, source coding, and data compression.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
