Proceedings of Workshop honoring Prof. Bob McEliece on his 60th birthday

Information, Coding and Mathematics is a classic reference for both professional and academic researchers working in error-correction coding and decoding, Shannon theory, cryptography, digital communications, information security, and electronic engineering. The work represents a collection of contributions from leading experts in turbo coding, cryptography and sequences, Shannon theory and coding bounds, and decoding theory and applications. All of the contributors have individually and collectively dedicated their work as a tribute to the outstanding work of Robert J. Mc Eliece. Information, Coding and Mathematics covers the latest advances in the widely used and rapidly developing field of information and communication technology.
