Applications of Combinatorial Mathematics

In the last thirty years, combinatorial mathematics has found itself at the heart of many technological applications. The aims of the conference on which this book is based were to stimulate combinatorial mathematicians to pursue new lines of research of potential practical importance, and to uncover the breadth of applications of the subject. Topics covered include neural networks, cryptography, radio frequency assignment for mobile telecommunications, coding theory, sequences for communications applications, interconnection networks, data types, knot theory, radar, parallel processing, network reliability, formal specification of programs and protocols, and combinatorial optimisation.
