This book contains a selection of papers presented at a Symposium on coding theory: "3 Journees sur le Codage," held November 24-26, 1986, in Cachan near Paris, France. It gives an account of the state of the art of research in France on Coding, ranging from rather theoretical topics like algebraic geometry and combinatorial coding to applications like modulation, real-space decoding and implementation of coding algorithms on microcomputers. The symposium was the second one of this type. With its broad spectrum, it was a unique opportunity for contacts between university and industry on the...

This volume presents the proceedings of the first French-Soviet workshop on algebraic coding. The papers fall into four categories: applications of exponential sums, covering radius, constructions and decoding.

This volume is the proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms and Error-Correcting Codes (AAECC 10), held in Puerto Rico, May 1993.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms and Error-Correcting Codes, AAECC-11, held in Paris, France in July 1995.
The volume presents five invited papers and 32 full revised research papers selected from a total of 68 submissions; it is focussed on research directed to the exploitation of algebraic techniques and methodologies for the application in coding and computer algebra. Among the topics covered are coding, cryptoloy, communication, factorization of polynomials, Grobner bases, computer algebra, algebraic...

This book presents a selection of the papers presented at EUROCODE '90, the symposium on coding theory held in Udine, Italy, November 1990. It gives the state of the art on coding in Europe and ranges from theoretical top- ics like algebraic geometry and combinatorial coding to applications like modulation, real-space decoding and VLSI implementation. The book is divided into eight sections: - Algebraic codes - Combinatorial codes - Geometric codes - Protection of information - Convolutional codes - Information theory - Modulation - Applications of coding. Five of the sections are introduced...

Presenting the proceedings of the 1st French-Israeli Workshop on Algebraic Coding, held in Paris in July 1993, this volume contains papers on convolutional codes and special channels, covering codes, cryptography, sequences, graphs and codes, sphere packings and lattices.

"Bridge Is a Conversation" is a guide to bridge fundamentals for players who already have an understanding of the basics of the game and the desire to improve their competitiveness at the bridge table. The goal is not to teach how bridge systems are built, nor to describe their content, but rather to clarify how to use them the way the best players in the world do and to offer an alternative to simply "playing by the book." You will find the game much more interesting, challenging, and enjoyable than you ever dreamed it could be. The principles in this book are valid regardless of the bidding...
