Coding: From Practice to Theory

这个项目是为了支持加州大学伯克利分校为期一周的“编码：从实践到理论”研讨会，该研讨会将在Simons计算理论研究所举行。该研讨会是信息论项目的一部分，该项目将于2015年1月13日至5月15日举行。研讨会的知识基础包括产生高效代码的代数和组合学的深入结果，分布式系统中安全存储、分发、共享和压缩数据的新范例，以及与移动设备、深空探测器和低功耗计算相关的技术考虑。该研讨会将加强数学、计算机科学和工程界之间的交流。研讨会将向所有潜在参与者开放，研讨会成果（包括演讲录像带）将向公众分发，以征求意见和参与。我们将支持学生参加研讨会，并将积极招募来自不同背景的科学家，为广泛的应用做出贡献

This project is in support of a week-long workshop at UC Berkeley on "Coding: From Practice to Theory", to be held at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing. The workshop is part of a program on Information Theory which will take place from January 13 to May 15, 2015. The intellectual roots of the workshop include deep results in algebra and combinatorics that yield efficient codes, new paradigms for securely storing, distributing, sharing and compressing data in distributed systems, and technological considerations related to mobile devices, deep space probes and low power computing.The workshop will enhance communication among the mathematics, computer science and engineering communities. It will be open to all potential participants and the workshop findings (including videotapes of presentations) will be distributed to the public for comments and engagement. We will support students to attend the workshop, and will actively recruit scientists from a diversity of backgrounds to contribute to a wide range of application
