<pre>Dear colleagues,<br /><br />You can find information about the <strong>CIMPA Research School and Workshop: Quasi-Cyclic and Related Algebraic Codes</strong> below.
Dates: :<strong> 27 August 2018- 7 September 2018
</strong>
Place :Middle East Technical University , Ankara, Turkey
Subject : <strong>Algebraic Coding Theory and Quasi-Cyclic Codes</strong>
Abstract : This school is an introduction to subjects of algebraic coding theory and quasi-cyclic codes. The purpose of this school is to introduce young mathematicians and students to the foundations of the study of error-correcting codes by means of algebra over finite rings and finite fields. Powerful decoding algorithms and connections with geometric codes will be emphasized when relevant. Applications to convolutional codes will be presented. All courses and talks will be in English.<br />
Application : People from Turkey can apply filling in the form on the website <a href="http://iam.metu.edu.tr/cimpa-2018" target="_blank">http://iam.metu.edu.tr/cimpa-2018</a> and sending it to <a href="mailto:kotal@metu.edu.tr">kotal@metu.edu.tr</a> or <a href="mailto:pcomak@metu.edu.tr">pcomak@metu.edu.tr</a>. <br />Deadline : Please note that the application deadline is <strong>April 22, 2018.</strong>
