Book Description

This volumecontainstherefereedproceedingsoftheSixth International Conf- ence on Sequences and Their Applications (SETA 2010), held in Paris, France, September 13-17, 2010. The previous ?ve conferences were held in Singapore (RepublicofSingapore),Bergen(Norway),Seoul(SouthKorea),Beijing(China) and Lexington (USA). Topics of SETA include: – Randomness of sequences – Correlation (periodic and aperiodic types) and combinatorial aspects of - quences (di?erence sets) – Sequences with applications in coding theory and cryptography – Sequences over ?nite ?elds/rings/function ?elds – Linear and nonlinear feedback shift register sequences – Sequences for radar distance ranging, synchronization, identi?cation, and hardware testing – Sequences for wireless communication – Pseudorandom sequence generators – Boolean and vectorial functions for sequences, coding and/or cryptography – Multidimensional sequences and their correlation properties – Linear and nonlinear complexity of sequences The Technical Program Committee of SETA 2010 refereed 56 submitted - pers. Each paper was reviewed by at least 2 referees (at least 3 when an author was a TPC member) and the TPC selected 33 papers to be presented at the conference. In addition, we had 4 invited papers, byRobert Calderbank(Prin- ton University, USA), James Massey (retired from ETH Zurich, Switzerland), Jong-Seon No (Seoul National University, South Korea) and Arne Winterhof ¨ (Osterreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Austria). TheCo-chairsoftheTPCwereClaudeCarlet(Universit´ eParis8,France)and Alexander Pott (Otto-von-Guericke-Universit¨ at, Magdeburg, Germany).
