Welcome to the 2022 IEEE Communication Theory Workshop (IEEE CTW 2022).
Due to the evolution of the pandemic, and the prospects for a rapid improvement over the next few months, we decided to move this year’s workshop to the fall, with the hope of being able to celebrate an in-person event as opposed to yet another online one. What makes CTW such a special event is, above all, its interactive nature, much of which simply cannot be reproduced in an online fashion.
The workshop will be held on October 2–5, 2022, in Marbella, Spain, in the Mediterranean coast of southern Spain: the most exclusive tourist destination on the Costa del Sol.
The continued success of this workshop lies in its informal and highly interactive atmosphere, in contrast to more formal conferences. As always, the workshop will be single track with technical sessions, plenary speakers, panel discussions, and a hot-topics submitted poster session. The technical sessions will consist of invited lectures given by leaders in both academia and industry.

Call for Participation
Authors are invited to participate in the IEEE Communication Theory Workshop through a regular poster session.
Call for Posters
The technical program committee is soliciting contributions for the poster session devoted to recent results in the general area of communication theory. We especially encourage students and junior researchers to participate. There will be no published proceedings. Extended abstracts (2 pages maximum, double column, IEEE style file) for the poster session should be submitted with CTW 2022 in the subject to: David Morales at dmorales@ugr.es and Mahnoosh Alizadeh alizadeh@ucsb.edu.
Electronic submissions must be in the Adobe PDF format, and of sufficient detail to permit careful review.
Abstract submission deadline: July 15, 2022.
Acceptance notification: August 15, 2022.
Please note that the maximum poster size should be A0 and in portrait.
