Abstract

This volume contains 19 journal refereed papers devoted to coding, related topics and applications. These papers are the full journal versions of a selection of the communications presented at the 3rd International Castle Meeting on Coding Theory and Applications (3ICMCTA2011) held at Cardona Castle in Catalonia (Spain) on September 11–15, 2011. After the revision of the Program Committee, 43 extended abstracts were selected for presentation at the workshop together with four invited talks. The authors of the presented papers were in turn invited to submit full versions of their papers to the Designs, Codes and Cryptography journal. Each of these submissions were again refereed by at least two reviewers. This special issue is the final result of all this process. We are grateful to the reviewers for their hard work, which contributed to guarantee the high level of these papers. We would like to thank all the authors and all the participants of the 3ICMCTA for making the conference a highly enjoyable event. We also thank some institutions for their financial support: IEEE Information Theory Spanish Chapter, Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, Ingenio Mathematica (i-math), and Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. Algebraic Coding Theory has been one of the topics with more papers. Bernal and Simon study the relationship between two different constructions of information sets: one for every abelian code by means of its defining set; and another one for binary two-dimensional cyclic
