Sequences, subsequences, and consequences

Více o knize

These proceedings document the Workshop on Sequences, Subsequences, and Consequences held at the University of Southern California from May 31 to June 2, 2007. The event featured three keynote lectures, 16 invited talks, and one contributed paper. The theory of sequences from discrete symbol alphabets has practical applications in coded communications and cryptography, including radar and sonar signal patterns, spectral spreading sequences for CDMA wireless telephony, key streams for direct sequence stream-cipher cryptography, and various forward-error-correcting codes. The workshop aimed to gather leading researchers in the field to present their latest findings, exchange information, and inform a broader audience of faculty, researchers, scholars, and students about recent developments. Invited speakers hailed from Canada, China, Germany, India, Israel, Norway, Puerto Rico, and South Korea, alongside participants from the USA. The workshop received generous support from the Office of the Dean of the Viterbi School of Engineering, the Center for Communications Research (CCR-La Jolla), and the United States National Science Foundation (NSF), for which we express our gratitude.
