Foremost experts in their field have contributed articles resulting in a compilation of useful and timely surveys in this ever-expanding field. Each of these 12 original papers covers important aspects of design theory including several in areas that have not previously been surveyed. Also contains surveys updating earlier ones where research is particularly active.

                                  Following a brief introduction to combinatorial design theory, in which the authors standardize notation, this volume contains a series of detailed surveys which examine specific areas of design theory. Papers are included which provide updates to earlier surveys.
