Welcome to SETA 2012 (University of Waterloo, June 4-8, 2012)

 

SETA is the leading international conference in  the areas of sequences and their  applications to communication and cryptography. It has been held in various locations around the world in  Singapore (Republic of Singapore) 1998, Bergen (Norway) 2001, Seoul (South Korea) 2004, Beijing (China) 2006,  and Lexington (USA) 2008, and Paris (France) 2010. The conference provides a forum for the research communities of these domains, and covers all the fundamental, computational and implementation aspects of these fields. The SETA proceedings will be published by Springer.

  • Periodic and aperiodic correlation of sequences
  • Synthesis and analysis of nonlinear feedback shift register sequences
  • Linear and nonlinear complexity of sequences
  • Boolean and vectorial functions
  • Randomness properties of sequences
  • Sequences for radar systems, including Costas arrays
  • Sequences for OFDM, CDMA, and MIMO wireless communication
