Conference ''algebraic coding theory''
 March 2 and March 3, 2005 
In the tradition of the roughly every second year organized 
conference ''Representation theory around the channel'' 
the conference in march will be focused on methods linked and dealing with 
algebraic coding theory. There will be one-hour lectures during 
two days meant to introduce the problems to a non-specialist 
audience.
