This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms and Error-Correcting Codes, AAECC-13, held in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA in November 1999.
The 42 revised full papers presented together with six invited survey papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 86 submissions. The papers are organized in sections on codes and iterative decoding, arithmetic, graphs and matrices, block codes, rings and fields, decoding methods, code construction, algebraic curves, cryptography, codes and decoding, convolutional...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Practice and Theory in Public Key Cryptography, PKC'98, held in Pacifico Yokohama, Japan, in February 1998.
The volume presents four invited contributions together with 18 revised full papers selected from 30 submissions. The papers address all current issues in research and design in the area including digital signature schemes, digital payment systems, electronic commerce, cryptographic protocols, as well as foundational issues like integer factorization, elliptic curve aspects, hash functions, finite...

The abstracts and papers in this volume were presented at the Fifth Annual International Computing and Combinatorics Conference (COCOON 99), which was held in Tokyo, Japan from July 26 to 28, 1999. The topics cover most aspects of theoretical computer science and combinatorics pertaining to computing. In response to the call for papers, 88 high-quality extended abstracts were submitted internationally, of which 46 were selected for presentation by the p- gram committee. Every submitted paper was reviewed by at least three program committee members. Many of these papers represent reports on...
