 The 2008 Analog Decoding Workshop  

The Analog Decoding Workshop is an informal, interactive forum dedicated to novel and efficient realizations of graph-based signal processing algorithms such as analog iterative decoders. This year the 7th annual workshop will be held at Utah State University, in the picturesque mountain setting of Logan, Utah. Topics will include but not be limited to: 

• Analog decoders: circuits, methodology and experimental results.
• Stochastic decoders.
• New and emerging applications of factor graph theory.
• Low-power realizations of factor graph algorithms.
