Conference "Algebraic Combinatorics and Applications"

该奖项支持将于2015年8月26日至30日在密歇根州霍顿的密歇根理工大学举行的代数组合学及其应用会议。代数组合学中研究的各种结构，如组合设计、有限几何和图形，已被应用于设计纠错码，以提供可靠的数字数据传输，并保持记录在CD、DVD、硬盘驱动器和闪存设备上的数据的完整性。本次会议的目标是将对代数组合学及其在通信、纠错码、密码学和信息安全中的应用感兴趣的研究人员和研究生聚集在一起，以促进新的联系和合作。会议将为研究人员和研究生提供机会，了解这些领域的最新发展，并探索未来工作的不同愿景。演讲者名单将包括来自理论和应用社区的代表；与应用社区的专家的互动将被证明对专门从事离散数学领域的教师和研究生特别有益，他们希望更多地了解代数组合学的当代应用。会议的网页是：www.math.mtu.edu/~tonchev/aca015.htm

This award supports a conference on algebraic combinatorics and applications, to be held at Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan, during August 26-30, 2015. Various structures studied in algebraic combinatorics, such as combinatorial designs, finite geometries, and graphs, have found applications in designing error-correcting codes that provide for reliable transmission of digital data, and for maintaining the integrity of data recorded on CDs, DVDs, hard drives, and flash memory devices.The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers and graduate students interested in algebraic combinatorics and its applications to communications, error-correcting codes, cryptography, and information security, in order to promote new linkages and collaborations. The conference will provide opportunities for research faculty and graduate students to learn about the latest developments in these areas, and explore different visions for future work. The list of speakers will include representatives from both the theoretical and applied communities; the interactions with experts from the applied communities will prove particularly beneficial for faculty and graduate students specializing in the area of discrete mathematics, who wish to learn more about the contemporary applications of algebraic combinatorics.The conference webpage is at www.math.mtu.edu/~tonchev/aca015.htm
