Coding and Quantization
This volume contains the proceedings of the DIMACS/IEEE workshop on coding and quantization. The theme of the workshop was the application of discrete mathematics to reliable data transmission and source compression. These applications will become more significant in the coming years, with the advent of high capacity cellular networks, personal communications devices, and the ``wireless office''. The articles are written by experts from industry and from academia. Requiring only a background in basic undergraduate mathematics, this book appeals to mathematicians interested in multidimensional Euclidean geometry (especially lattice theory), as well as to engineers interested in bandwidth efficient communication or vector quantization.
DNA Based Computers
This volume presents the proceedings of a conference held at Princeton University in April 1995 as part of the DIMACS Special Year on Mathematical Support for Molecular Biology. The subject of the conference was the new area of DNA based computing. DNA based computing is the study of using DNA strands as individual computers. The concept was initiated by Leonard Adleman's paper in Science in November 1994.
Set Theory
This volume presents the proceedings from the Mid-Atlantic Mathematical Logic Seminar (MAMLS) conference held in honor of Andras Hajnal at the DIMACS Center, Rutgers University (New Brunswick, NJ). Articles include both surveys and high-level research papers written by internationally recognized experts in the field of set theory. Many of the current active areas of set theory are represented in this volume. It includes research papers on combinatorial set theory, set theoretictopology, descriptive set theory, and set theoretic algebra. There are valuable surveys on combinatorial set theory, fragments of the proper forcing axiom, and the reflection properties of stationary sets. The book also includes an exposition of the ergodic theory of lattices in higher rank semisimpleLie groups-essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand much of the recent work on countable Borel equivalence relations.
Groups and Computation II
The workshop "Groups and Computations" took place at the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS) at Rutgers University in June 1995. This and an earlier workshop held in October 1991 was aimed at merging theory and practice within the broad area of computation with groups. The primary goal of the previous workshop was to foster a dialogue between researchers studying the computational complexity of group algorithms and those engaged in the development of practical software. It was expected that this would lead to a deeper understanding of the mathematical issues underlying group computation and that this understanding would lead, in turn, to faster algorithm...
Codes and Association Schemes
This volume presents papers related to the DIMACS workshop, "Codes and Association Schemes". The articles are devoted to the following topics: applications of association schemes and of the polynomial method to properties of codes, structural results for codes, structural results for association schemes, and properties of orthogonal polynomials and their applications in combinatorics. Papers on coding theory are related to classical topics, such as perfect codes, bounds on codes, codes and combinatorial arrays, weight enumerators, and spherical designs. Papers on orthogonal polynomials provide new results on zeros and symptotic properties of standard families of polynomials encountered in coding theory. The theme of association schemes is represented by new classification results and new classes of schemes related to posets. This volume collects up-to-date applications of the theory of association schemes to coding and presents new properties of both polynomial and general association schemes. It offers a solid representation of results in problems in areas of current interest.
Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (Series Formelles et Combinatoire Algebrique), 1994
Because of the interplay among many fields of mathematics and science, algebraic combinatorics is an area in which a wide variety of ideas and methods come together. The papers in this volume reflect the most interesting aspects of this rich interaction, and will be of interest to researchers in discrete mathematics and combinatorial systems.
Discrete Mathematical Problems with Medical Applications
This volume presents selected papers from a three-day workshop held during the DIMACS special years on Mathematical Support for Molecular Biology. Participants from the world over attended, giving the workshop an important international component. The study of discrete mathematics and optimization with medical applications is emerging as an important new research area. Significant applications have been found in medical research, for example in radiosurgical treatment planning, virtual endoscopy, and more. This volume presents a substantive cross-section of active research topics ranging from medical imaging to human anatomy modeling, from gamma knife treatment planning to radiation therapy, and from epileptic seizures to DNA screening. This book is an up-to-date resource reflecting current research directions.

Geometric and Computational Perspectives on Infinite Groups
This book contains the proceedings of two workshops on computational aspects of geometric group theory.
Algebraic Coding Theory and Information Theory
In these papers associated with the workshop of December 2003, contributors describe their work in fountain codes for lossless data compression, an application of coding theory to universal lossless source coding performance bounds, expander graphs and codes, multilevel expander codes, low parity check lattices, sparse factor graph representations of Reed-Solomon and related codes. Interpolation multiplicity assignment algorithms for algebraic soft- decision decoding of Reed-Solomon codes, the capacity of two- dimensional weight-constrained memories, networks of two-way channels, and a new approach to the design of digital communication systems.
