The aim of AAECC is to encourage cross-fertilization between different areas that develop algebraic methods and their applications. For AAECC these areas are mainly Error-Correcting Codes and Computer Algebra. The importance of complexity theory for these areas has been recognized for years in AAECC, and papers on this topic are strongly encouraged. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conference Board H.F.

Sakata (Tokyo) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics Gröbner bases are studied for themselves, but also in relation to Error-Correcting Codes. AAECC was the first Symposium to introduce Gröbner bases into the coding domain. Papers connecting Gröbner bases and Error-Correcting Codes are particularly encouraged. Preferred papers on applications are those involving some algebraic developments. * Error-Correcting Codes : Theory and Applications. * Advances in algebraic approaches to ECC (concatenated codes, multi-variate codes, algebraic-geometric codes, applications of Gröbner bases, etc.). * Applications of codes : trellis codes, turbo codes, adaptative codes and time-varying codes, modulation and codes, systolics and codes, etc. * Complexity in coding/decoding and finite field constructions. * Cryptography. * Algebraic algorithms and algebraic computation. * Computational methods in Commutative Algebra, Algebraic and Real Geometry, Differential Algebra. * Theoretical and practical complexity in algebra and geometry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Invited Speakers Our Invited Speakers (along with the titles of their talks are) : * Bank B. ("Optimization and real polynomial equation solving"). * Dumer I. ("Maximum likelihood decoding with presorting of error patterns"). * von zur Gathen J. ("Efficient exponentiation in finite fields : theory and practice"). * Glavieux A. ("Turbo communications : turbo-detection and turbo-equalization over frequency selective channel"). * Hoehold T. ("Order function and evaluation codes : AG-codes made easy"). * Jensen J. ("On the Q-ary image of cyclic codes"). * Lin S. ("Trellis structure and trellis-based decoding of linear bloc codes"). * Stetter H. ("Systems of polynomial equations and matrix eigenproblems"). Official language English is the only official language for the symposium and for the Proceedings. Publications As usual, it is intended to publish the Proceedings as a volume in the Springer series LNCS and to have them available at the meeting; also we intend to continue maintaining the same standards for publication as a journal. further in AAECC Conferences. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Conference information Please contact Prof. A.Poli, at the following e-mail address : poli@cict.fr. Tourism Participants will enjoy a one day trip, including the Toulouse-Lautrec museum in Albi, which has already been visited by the Emperor of Japan. We also will visit a tasting wine centre at Gaillac (near Albi), and finally the Middle Age famous town Cordes. Practical information on AAECC-12 (hotels, etc...) Practical and touristic information on Toulouse and on Albi. AAECC/IRIT lab homepage.
