From the Editor

We have one major upcoming event this month. The Centre for Networked Intelligence (CNI) is organising the third annual CNI summer school during July 10-14, 2023. This is 5 days in-person summer school, where we will study mathematical tools to solve dynamic resource allocation problems in communication networks. We have over 100 registered participants for this event.

Upcoming Events

Welcome to this month's CNI events!

We are excited to present a series of informative talks delivered by highly experienced researchers. While two of these talks will take place exclusively in-person, we are pleased to announce that the rest of the presentations will be streamed online, making this knowledge-sharing opportunity accessible to a broader audience. Get ready to be inspired by the latest advancements and discoveries from the comfort of your own space!

Past Events

We had one in-person seminar last month. We had two major events last month. The [14th annual JTG/IEEE Information Theory Society summer school] was conducted in the ECE department at IISc from June 19-23. Apart from this, we had the bi-annual Cisco-IISc day on June 27.

Prof. Manuj Mukherjee from IIIT Delhi discussed Multiparty Interactive Coding over Networks of Intersecting Broadcast Links. Networks involve multiple broadcast channels converging at a single party, with random bit-flip noise affecting individual receivers. Manuj proposed interactive coding schemes to enable computations in these noisy networks while reducing communication overhead compared to noiseless computations.

Cisco-IISc day

During this year’s Cisco-IISc day, CNI PhD scholars visited the Cisco Campus in Bangalore and presented their research work, along with two associated CNI faculty. Our CSR partner Cisco also presented their research at this event.
