Information Theory and Applications: Third Canadian Workshop, Rockland, Ontario, Canada, May 30 - June 2, 1993. Proceedings / Edition 1

by T. Aaron Gulliver, Norman P. Secord

Overview

This volume contains a selection of refereed papers from the 1993 Canadian Workshop on Information Theory, held in Rockland, Ontario, May 30 - June 2.

The workshop provided a forum for Canadian and international researchers to gather and discuss new results in the areas of information theory, algebraic coding, digital communications, and networks.

A number of novel approaches to research problems are presented, and seminal works by several renowned experts are included in the volume.

The papers have been loosely grouped into four parts: coding and cryptography, coding and modulation of fading channels, decoding techniques, and networks and information theory.
