  This year, 2019 we celebrate 30 years of our friendship between Asian and
European scientists at the AEW11 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Many of the
1989 participants are also present at the 2019 event. This year we have many
participants from different parts of Asia and Europe. It shows the importance
of this event. It is a good tradition to pay a tribute to a special lecturer in
our community. This year we selected Hiroyoshi Morita, who is a well known
information theorist with many original contributions.
