Algebraic Decoding of Error Correcting Codes

Error correcting codes
(ECC) are a practical mean to store or transmit
information with the desired robustness notwithstanding the presence of
receive or read/write imperfections in non ideal conditions. The
theoretical limits predicted by information theory can not be
approached without considering ECC and they are included in any
standard of digital communication or storage.
In the last years we have been carrying research on this topic both for communication systems as example as external codes in concatenated schemes, and for data storage, as example in flash, i.e. non volatile semiconductor memories.
