Entropy 2021: The Scientific Tool of the 21st Century
the chair
The concept of entropy emerges initially from the scope of physics, but it is now clear that entropy is deeply related to information theory and the process of inference. Today, entropic techniques have found a broad spectrum of applications in all branches of science.
The conference will be organized into six sessions, which reflect the inter-disciplinary nature of entropy and its applications:
- Statistical Physics
- Information Theory, Probability and Statistics
- Thermodynamics
- Quantum Information and Foundations
- Complex Systems
- Entropy in Multidisciplinary Applications
The inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary nature of contributions from both theoretical and applied perspectives are welcome, including papers addressing conceptual and methodological developments, as well as new applications of entropy and information theory.
All accepted abstracts will be published in the proceedings of the conference. Moreover, participants are cordially invited to contribute with a full manuscript to Entropy Special Issue "Entropy: The Scientific Tool of the 21st Century".
Special Issue Submission deadline: 30 June 2021
Papers presented at the conference will be granted a 200 CHF discount!
The conference is sponsored by MDPI, the publisher of the open-access journal Entropy and follows the very successful meeting Entropy 2018: From Physics to Information Sciences and Geometry held in May 2018 in Barcelona, Spain.
We very much look forward to your participation.
Please feel free to download our Conference Poster.
