Funded Activity Summary

Stochastic Construction of Error Correcting Codes with Application to Digital Communications. Modern society would be unrecognisable without error correcting codes; mobile telephones, storage devices such as DVD's and high speed data communications simply would not exist. Yet most theoretical results on error correcting codes are asymptotic in nature and ignore computational complexity issues, that is, they are not representative of many real life situations. By building on recent breakthroughs in statistics and stochastic optimisation, this project will develop algorithms for designing optimised error correcting codes subject to realistic finite data length and computational complexity constraints. Successful outcomes will lead to enhanced data communications and storage, greatly benefiting industry and consumers alike.
