Sequences, Subsequences, and Consequences, SSC 2007

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Workshop of Sequences, Subsequences and Consequences, SSC 2007, held in Los Angeles, CA, USA, in May/June 2007.

The 16 revised invited full papers and 1 revised contributed paper presented together with 3 keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected for presentation in the book. The theory of sequences from discrete symbol alphabets has found practical applications in many areas of coded communications and in cryptography, including: signal patterns for use in radar and sonar; spectral spreading sequences for CDMA wireless telephony; key streams for direct sequence stream-cipher cryptography; and a variety of forward-error-correcting codes. The workshop permits leading researchers on sequences from around the world to present their latest results and recent developments in this important field.
