                        GENERAL CALL FOR PAPERS:
                        Proceeding for Workshop D1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


During May 01 - May 06, Workshop D1 "Groebner Bases in Cryptography,
Coding Theory, and Algebraic Combinatorics" was held, within the framework of the
Special Semester on Groebner Bases at RICAM and RISC, Linz-Austria
(see www.ricam.oeaw.ac.at/srs/groeb/).

The workshop was divided into three consecutive sessions: Coding
(chaired by M. Sala), Cryptography (chaired by L. Perret) and Algebraic Combinatorics
(chaired by M. Klin), and started with an introductory lecture on Groebner bases by
Bruno Buchberger himself.

The conference included tutorials/surveys, research talks and poster
presentations.
The audience consisted of more than 120 researchers arrived from all
over the world.


The proceeding for the conference will be published through three
different media:

1) a volume of the RISC Book Series, covering the Algebraic Combinatoric
   contributions;

2) a special issue of Journal of Symbolic Computation, covering research
   results for the Coding and Crypto parts whose authors plan to publish as full
   journal papers (Managing Editor: L. Perret);

3) a volume of the RISC Book Series, including any contribution from the
   Coding and Crypto sessions, either in a short-note version or in a
   long-paper version (Managing Editor: M. Sala).


Separate open calls for 1), 2) and 3) will appear soon.
All of them will accept also contributions by experts that have not
attended the workshop, however there will be scope restrictions which
will be clarified in any call.
