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.
