DESCRIPTION:Prof. Shlomo Shamai Shitz\, Technion\nIn an extended preview o
 f the 2011 Shannon lecture\, a subjective overview of selected topics in I
 nformation Theory\, Communications\,\nand Signal Processing will be presen
 ted taking an Information-Estimation perspective.  We first review basic i
 nformation-estimation (I-MMSE) relations and properties in Gaussian additi
 ve channels  and then address via this framework specific problems and res
 ults in: \n* Nonlinear optimal filtering\;\n* Constrained signaling\;\n* M
 ulti-terminal models  touching upon broadcast  interference  wiretap  and 
 cognitive settings as well cellular networks of the Wyner type  and novel 
 aspects of interference alignment\;\n* Efficient codes for point-to-point 
  interference and relay channels\;\nA statistical physics view of I-MMSE r
 elated relations  is shortly mentioned. So are  time permitting  different
  other applications motivated by incremental channel decompositions  namel
 y deterministic and random vector Gaussian channel settings  and the broad
 casting strategy (variable-to-fixed channel coding). Based on the overview
 ed framework  we point out some new observations  and emphasize specific r
 esearch challenges motivated by the information-estimation perspective. We
  conclude with an outlook examining general channels and network informati
 on theoretic concepts. Prof. Shamai's homepage
