Recent advances of communication and computing technologies provide fascinating opportunities for online commercial activities, business transactions and government services over open computer and communications networks. Such developments are only possible if communication can be conducted in a secure and reliable way. The theory and practice of coding theory and cryptography underpin the provision of effective security and reliability for data communication, processing and storage.
The theory of combinatorial designs originally deals with problems of arranging objects according to certain rules. Recently, it has found applications in computer science, statistics, digital communication and cryptography. On the other hand, problems arising from coding theory and cryptography also spur new advances in the study of difference sets and planar functions.
The aim of the program is to bring together academic researchers in coding theory, cryptology, combinatorial design theory, and related areas. The program will provide a joint forum for specialists in the theory and applications of these areas to present their results and exchange views, while it will also focus on emerging developments and discussion of open problems in the fields.
The program consists of two workshops and two weeks of informal discussions involving well-established experts as well as PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.
- Coding and Cryptology, informal discussions, 16 - 20 May 2011 (Venue: NTU, SPMS Offices and Staff Lounge)
- Workshop on Coding and Cryptology, 23 - 26 May 2011 (Venue: NTU, Lecture Theatre 4 - SPMS)
- Workshop on Combinatorial Designs, 27 May - 3 Jun 2011 (Venue: IMS Auditorium)
- Combinatorial Designs, informal discussions, 6 - 10 Jun 2011 (Venue: IMS Auditorium)
