Special issue algebraic coding theory and applications

This issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation is a follow-up to the “Soria Summer School on Computational Mathematics: Algebraic Coding Theory” supported by the group SINGACOM of the University of Valladolid, held at the Campus Duques de Soria of the University of Valladolid in Soria, July 2-11, 2008 and the Special Session “Computer Algebra and Coding Theory 2008”, hosted at ACA 2008 held ...

Special issue on network coding

Future networks are expected to depart from traditional routing schemes in order to embrace network coding (NC)-based schemes. These have created a lot of interest both in academia and industry in recent years. Under the NC paradigm, symbols are transported through the network by combining several information streams originating from the same or different sources. This special issue contains th...

Special issue on database theory

This issue of the JCSS contains seven invited papers on database theory. The papers are representative of the latest and most promising research on advancing the state of the art in data management. The following process was used. First, eight papers were carefully selected from among the best research projects published in the top data management conferences during the first half of 2005 (the ...

Special issue on image and video coding beyond standards

Today’s visual information coding standards or de facto adopted methods are the fruits of a tremendous evolution, over the past decades, in several converging (elds, from information theory to signal processing and computer science. Major milestones like arithmetic coding or wavelet theory have paved the way to e,cient coding methods. The optimality of the so-called classical coding methods can...
