  The one-day workshop, held prior to the "ZIF Workshop on Information Theory
and Related Fields", provided an excellent opportunity for in-depth discussions
on several topics within the field of post-Shannon theory. The agenda covered
deterministic and randomized identification, focusing on various methods and
algorithms for identifying data or signals deterministically and through
randomized processes. It explored the theoretical foundations and practical
applications of these techniques. The session on resources for increasing
identification capacity examined the different resources and strategies that
can be utilized to boost the capacity for identifying information. This
included discussions on both hardware and software solutions, as well as
innovative approaches to resource allocation and optimization. Participants
delved into common randomness generation, essential for various cryptographic
protocols and communication systems. The session highlighted recent
advancements and practical implementations of common randomness in secure
communications. The workshop concluded with a detailed look at the development
and practical deployment of identification codes. Experts shared insights on
code construction techniques, implementation challenges, and real-world
applications in various communication systems. We extend our thanks to the
esteemed speakers for their valuable contributions: Caspar von Lengerke, Wafa
Labidi, Ilya Vorobyev, Johannes Rosenberger, Jonathan Huffmann, and Pau
Colomer. Their presentations and insights significantly enriched the workshop.
Additionally, we are grateful to all the participants whose active engagement,
constructive comments, and stimulating discussions made the event a success.
Your involvement was crucial in fostering a collaborative and intellectually
vibrant environment.
