This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms and Error-Correcting Codes, AAECC-18, held in Tarragona, Spain, in June 2009.
The 22 revised full papers presented together with 7 extended absstracts were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. Among the subjects addressed are block codes, including list-decoding algorithms; algebra and codes: rings, fields, algebraic geometry codes; algebra: rings and fields, polynomials, permutations, lattices; cryptography: cryptanalysis and complexity; computational algebra: algebraic algorithms and transforms; sequences and boolean functions.
