The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers interested in design theory, finite geometry, graph theory, algebraic combinatorics and their applications to communication and cryptography, especially to codes (error-correcting codes, quantum codes, network codes, etc.). The conference will give the opportunity to research faculty and young researchers in discrete mathematics to learn about the latest developments in combinatorics and its contemporary applications in communication theory and information security, and to explore new directions for their future work.
