Repost from sage-coding-theory, by Daniel Augot: This is great news! Is there any plan to implement semaphore codes in the > near future (see the book by Jean Berstel > <http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/399140.Jean_Berstel>, Dominique > Perrin <http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/926712.Dominique_Perrin>, > Christophe > Reutenauer > <http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/399139.Christophe_Reutenauer> on > "Codes and Automata")? This would be super useful! > Sorry, that's not in our road-map currently. The project will be centered around error-correcting codes, with a focus on algebraic coding theory. We'll also be touching upon the cryptographic applications (e.g. McEliece cryptosystem).
That is part of our road-map, but inside our road map, we have that we want to discuss and interact with people interested in coding theory in Sage, to identify various needs. It's open. But yes, most of our concerns will be centered around the algorithmic aspects of coding theory, be it for coding theory per se, cryptography (there is more than McEliece : proof of retrievability, proof of ownership, etc), theoretical computer science, math investigation. Concerning matroids, designs, sphere packings, lattices and other domains connected to coding theory, since we have man power, and time, we will try to be as much as possible consistent with the existing APIs or interfaces, to avoid users converting objects between different classes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
