Information Theory in
the Benelux:
An overview of WIC symposia
1980 – 2003
The symposium on
“Information Theory in the Benelux”, organized in 1980 in Zoetermeer, the
Netherlands, signals the informal naissance of the WIC (an abbreviation of what
literally translated means “Working Community for Information and Communication
Theory”).
The purpose of
the WIC is to coordinate and stimulate the work of professionals in the field
of Information and Communication Theory in the Benelux (Belgium, the
Netherlands, and Luxemburg), and to further the application of information and
communication theory. One of the activities of the WIC is its symposium, a
two-day event that has been organized annually ever since 1980.
On the occasion of the 25-th symposium in 2004, a group of WIC experts has written a jubilee book that aims to provide an overview of technical results and developments presented at the 24 previous symposia. In addition to reflections on the development in the field, each of the eight chapters briefly discusses all published papers of the past symposia in the area. The reference list of the book contains 114 “general” references, and all 641 contributions to the WIC symposia.
