Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms and Error-Correcting Codes: 15th International Symposium, AAECC-15, Toulouse, France, May 12-16, 2003, Proceedings

TheAAECCsymposiumwasstartedinJune1983byAlainPoli(Toulouse), who, together with Roger Desq, Daniel Lazard, and Paul Camion, organized the ?rst conference. The meaning of the acronym AAECC changed from "Applied - gebra and Error Correcting Codes" to "Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms, and Error Correcting Codes." One reason for this was the increasing importance of complexity, particularly for decoding algorithms. During the AAECC-12 s- posium the conference committee decided to enforce t...
