The conference Mathematical Methods in Computer Science (MMICS) was
held in the memory of Thomas Beth during December 17-19 in
Karlsruhe. The c- ference was meant to re?ect the many interests of
Thomas Beth. Even though these interests might seem diverse the
mathematical methods employed and - pecially algebra as a language
were the common denominator of all his scienti?c achievements. The
12 contributed talks reaching from t-designs to integrated circuits
were selected from 30 submissions from 14 countries. The
contributed talks were complemented by three invited talks. Teo
Mora gave a talk on "Decoding Cyclic Codes: The Cooper Philosophy"
embracing the areas of coding theory and symbolic computation.
These areas were especially appreciated by Thomas Beth, because
they combine algebra and algorithmics. Richard Jozsa lectured about
"Embedding Classical into Quantum Compu- tion" in the area of
quantum information. Quantum information was a focus of research of
Tomas Beth since 1993 when he co-organized one of the e- liest
workshops on quantum cryptography in Dagstuhl. Quantum information
became his passion in 1994 when the connection between the Fourier
transf- mation and breaking the RSA crypto system became apparent
via Shor's al- rithm, which can factor integers in polynomial time
on a quantum computer. The Fourier transform and cryptography were
topics that played an important role in Thomas Beth's research and
this connection, once again, justi?ed his broad view on computer
science.
