15th International ITG Conference on Systems, Communications and Coding (SCC)

SCC 2027 is organized by the Information Technology Society (ITG) of the Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies (VDE). SCC aims at bridging the gap between theory, applications and various communities in the field of communications. Therefore, we encourage contributions from both academia and industry, theoretical work as well as applied research in various fields of communications.

The University of Bremen is a young and internationally oriented public research university in northern Germany, known for its strong interdisciplinary profile. It covers a wide range of research areas, including information technology, production engineering, materials science, aerospace, marine sciences, and the social sciences. A defining feature of the university is its close embedding in the industrial environment of the Bremen region and northwestern Germany. Long-standing collaborations with regional and global companies in sectors such as aerospace, maritime technologies, logistics, automotive systems, and artificial intelligence closely link research and real-world applications. Through this strong interaction between academia and industry, the University of Bremen acts as an important innovation hub that combines fundamental research with practical impact.

SCC is a biannual conference and organized by the Information Technology Society (ITG) of the Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies (VDE). The conference aims at bridging the gap between theory and applications as well as different communities working on communications.

The 15th SCC will take place in Bremen, Germany, from March 15th to 18th, 2027.

We encourage contributions from both academia and industry presenting original work in various fields of communications like:

• wireless communications (cellular, satellite, vehicular) 
• optical communications 
• sensor networks, Internet-of-Things (IoT) communications 
• industrial radio, low-latency & ultra-reliable communications 
• massive communications 
• cloud and fog-based RANs 
• distributed (storage) systems 
• communications and control

Topics of interest include but are not limited to

• information and coding theory 
• source and channel coding, semantic communications 
• ommunication theory, detection, and estimation
