Network coding is a generalization of routing in which nodes can generate output data by encoding and thus allows information to be "mixed" at a node. Looking forward, the synergistic development of theory and practice of network coding shall provide the driving force for continuing the advances in each side at an unprecedented pace, toward a fundamental understanding and practical developments of significant impact. The 2011 International Symposium on Network Coding (NetCod2011) to be held from July 25 to 27, 2011 in Beijing, China, aims to provide a forum for an in-depth coverage of the research developments of neTwork coding up to date and will continue the tradition established by the International Workshop on Network Coding since 2005.
       Submitted papers must be original and should not be currently under review for any other publication.
