Sommario/riassunto |
|
For newly hired young engineers assigned to their first real 'project', there has been little to offer in the way of advice on 'where to begin', 'what to look out for and avoid', and 'how to get the job done right'. This book gives this advice from an author with long experience as senior engineer in government and industry (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Exxon-Mobil). Beginning with guidance on understanding the typical organizational structure of any type of technical firm or company, author Plummer incorporates numerous hands-on examples and provides help on getting started with a pro |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Symposium on Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms and Error-Correcting Codes, AAECC-17, held in Bangalore, India, in December 2007. The 33 revised full papers presented together with 8 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 61 submissions. Among the subjects addressed are block codes, including list-decoding algorithms; algebra and codes: rings, fields, algebraic geometry codes; algebra: rings and fields, polynomials, permutations, lattices; cryptography: cryptanalysis and complexity; computational algebra: algebraic algorithms and transforms; sequences and boolean functions. |
