GoingToMeet

The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers from all aspects of finite fields: theory, computation and applications.

Previous meetings have been in Las Vegas (USA), Glasgow (Scotland), Waterloo (Canada), Augsburg (Germany), Oaxaca (Mexico), Toulouse (France) and Melbourne (Australia).

As in previous years we intend to publish conference proceedings with one of the major scientific publishers.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Theory: additive and multiplicative structure, polynomials, curves, varieties, character sums, function fields.
• Computation: polynomial factorisation, decomposition and irreducibility testing, finding primitive and other special elements of finite fields, algorithms for polynomials, codes, curves, varieties, and other objects over finite fields.
• Applications: cryptography, codes, information theory, combinatorics, quantum information science.
