Interference is one of the distinguishing features of wireless communication. Because of this effect, links in a wireless network are never isolated but instead interact in seemingly complex ways. On the one hand, this facilitates the spread of information among users in a network; on the other hand, it can be harmful by creating unintended interference among users. This one day workshop brings together experts in the field of network information theory to discuss recent advances in interference management for wireless networks. One key goal is to foster discussion centered around open problems and challenges. The workshop conveniently precedes ISIT 2012 (MIT, July 1-6) and will be held at nearby Boston University.
