While high oversampling is a preferred technology in digital signal encoding, the advantages of redundancy
are far from clearly understood. Single bit quantization schemes such as Sigma-Delta Modulation are
intimately connected with number theory, dynamical systems, and stochastic processes. These methods are
also used in other applications such as halftoning. The workshop will bring together selected experts,
from a variety of scientific disciplines, whose work interfaces coarse quantization techniques. The focus
of the workshop will be to explain the benefits of redundancy in this setting and to describe the compelling
open problems.
A limited amount of funding for participants at all levels is available, especially for researchers in the early
stages of their career who want to attend the full program.
