Algebraic Coding Theory for Networks, Storage, and Security (Dagstuhl Seminar 18511)

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 18511 "Algebraic Coding Theory for Networks, Storage, and Security". The ever increasing traffic in networks and the growth of distributed storage systems require advanced techniques based on algebraic coding to meet user demand. Private access to such services is a major concern for consumers and is still a new field in the context of distributed storage. The topics of this workshop are very relevant for a number of emerging industrial research fields concerned with efficient and reliable storage and transmitting large files through large networks
