International Conference on
SequEnces and Their Applications (SETA) 2008


University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY - Sept. 14-18, 2008

Call For Papers

The fifth International Conference on Sequences and Their Applications (SETA'08) will be held from September 14th to 18th, 2008, in Lexington, Kentucky, USA.  Previously unpublished papers on all technical aspects of sequences and their applications in communications, cryptography, and combinatorics are solicited for submission to SETA'08. Topics include:
•    Randomness of sequences
•    Correlation (periodic and aperiodic types) and combinatorial aspects of sequences (difference sets)
•    Sequences with applications in coding theory and cryptography
•    Sequences over finite fields/rings/function fields
•    Linear and nonlinear feedback shift register sequences
•    Sequences for radar distance ranging, synchronization, identification, and hardware testing
•    Sequences for wireless communication
•    Pseudorandom sequence generators
•    Correlation and transformation of Boolean functions
•    Multidimensional sequences and their correlation properties
•    Linear and nonlinear complexity of sequences

Invited Speakers
