Algebraic Coding: First French-Israeli Workshop, Paris, France, July 19 – 21, 1993. Proceedings

This volume presents the proceedings of the first French-Israeli Workshop on Algebraic Coding, which took place in Paris in July 1993. The workshop was a continuation of a French-Soviet Workshop held in 1991 and edited by the same board. The thoroughly refereed papers in this volume are grouped into parts convolutional codes and special channels, covering codes, cryptography, sequences, graphs and codes, sphere packings and lattices, and bounds for codes.
