International Workshop on
Finite Fields Constructions of Combinatorial Arrays
April 21-27, 2013 --
Florianópolis, Brazil
This workshop focuses on the interplay between finite fields
and combinatorial structures such as arrays and designs.
- Arrays: orthogonal arrays, packing and covering arrays, Costas arrays,
permutation arrays, Latin squares, Sudoku squares, etc.
- Finite fields related to arrays and designs.
- Combinatorial constructions using sequences, LFSR, polynomials and functions over finite fields,
etc.
- Other related topics such as combinatorial designs, codes, sequences.
