Algebra for Secure and Reliable Communication Modeling

This volume contains the proceedings of the CIMPA Research School and Conference on Algebra for Secure and Reliable Communication Modeling, held from October 1-13, 2012, in Morelia, State of Michoacan, Mexico. The papers cover several aspects of the theory of coding theory and are gathered into three categories: general theory of linear codes, algebraic geometry and coding theory, and constacyclic codes over rings. The aim of this volume is to fill the gap between the theoretical part of algebraic geometry and the applications to problem solving and computational modeling in engineering, signal processing and information theory. This book is published in cooperation with Real Sociedad Matematica Espanola (RSME).
