Abstract
We are now in the age of digital Information and processing. Digital information has become an asset not only to the business community, but also in all of society. The entire economy and the daily lives of people are more and more dependent on data provided by computers or microprocessors, the digital audio played by compact-disk players and over the internet, the digital television signals broadcast from satellites, etc.. Just as there are techniques on how best to handle physical commodities, there are also efficient methods to manage, transmit, store and retrieve digital information. Among these techniques, no one need be reminded of the importance, not only of the speed of transmission, but also of the accuracy of the information- transfer process. Error-control mechanisms are now an integral part of almost all information-transfer processes. This text addresses the issues of error-control coding in modern digital electronic systems and data networks.
