Third International Castle Meeting on Coding Theory and Applications, Barcelona, Spain
11 September 2011 - 11 September 2011
Spain
The Third International Castle Meeting on Coding Theory and Applications will take place from 11 to 16 September 2011 in Barcelona, Spain.
Coding theory is the study of the properties of codes and their fitness for a specific application. Codes are used for data compression, cryptography, error-correction and more recently also for network coding. Codes are studied by various scientific disciplines-such as information theory, electrical engineering, mathematics, and computer science-for the purpose of designing efficient and reliable data transmission methods. This typically involves the removal of redundancy and the correction (or detection) of errors in the transmitted data. There are essentially two aspects to coding theory: data compression and error correction.
The conference will look at such topics as:
- codes and combinatorial structures;
- algebraic-geometric codes;
- network coding;
- quantum codes;
- group codes;
- codes and applications.
This will be the third edition of the long-running series, with previous events being held in 1999 and 2008 in Valladolid, Spain.For further information, please visit: http://icmcta.uab.cat/(opens in new window)
