About Ten Years Ago, V.d. Goppa Found A Surprising Connection Between The Theory Of Algebraic Curves Over A Finite Field And Error-correcting Codes. The Aim Of The Meeting Algebraic Geometry And Coding Theory Was To Give A Survey On The Present State Of Research In This Field And Related Topics. The Proceedings Contain Research Papers On Several Aspects Of The Theory, Among Them: Codes Constructed From Special Curves And From Higher-dimensional Varieties, Decoding Of Algebraic Geometric Codes, Trace Codes, Exponen- Tial Sums, Fast Multiplication In Finite Fields, Asymptotic Number Of Points On Algebraic Curves, Sphere Packings.
