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研讨会“编码：从实践到理论”，将在西蒙斯计算理论研究所举行。该研讨会是信息理论计划的一部分，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代数和组合学的深入成果，这些成果产生了有效的代码，分布式系统中安全存储、分发、共享和压缩数据的新范例，以及与移动的设备、深空探测器和低功耗计算有关的技术考虑。研讨会将加强数学、计算机科学和工程界之间的交流。研讨会将向所有可能的与会者开放，研讨会的结果（包括发言录像带）将分发给公众，供其发表意见和参与。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
