He asked whether what we now call the "Krull-SchmidtTheorem" holds for - tinianmodules. Theproblemremainedopenfor63years: itssolution, anegative answer to Krull's question, was published only in 1995 (see Facchini, Herbera, Levy and Vamos]). Secondly, we wanted to present the answer to a question posed by War?eld in 1975 War?eld 75]. He proved that every ?nitely p- sented module over a serial ring is a direct sum of uniserial modules, and asked...

This volume contains the Proceedings of an International Conference on Noncommutative Rings and Their Applications, held July 1-4, 2013, at the Universite d'Artois, Lens, France. It presents recent developments in the theories of noncommutative rings and modules over such rings as well as applications of these to coding theory, enveloping algebras, and Leavitt path algebras. Material from the course ``Foundations of Algebraic Coding Theory``, given by Steven Dougherty, is included and provides the reader with the history and background of coding theory as well as the interplay between...
