This is the first volume of a two-volume text on design theory. Since the first edition, there
has been extensive development of the theory. In particular, the growing importance of …

1.1 A balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) is a pair (V, B) where V is a v-set and B is a
collection of bk-subsets of V (blocks) such that each element of V is contained in exactly r …

Optimal Experimental Design with R introduces experimenters to the philosophy of
experimentation, and the need for good design and data collection for experiments. It gives …

The performance of traditional RAID Level 5 arrays is, for many applications, unacceptably
poor while one of its constituent disks is non-functional. This paper describes and evaluates …

Publisher Summary This chapter will explore the practical motivation for, optimality
requirements of, and combinatorial assignment properties in, experimental situations with …

Symmetry often appears in real-world constraint satisfaction problems, but strategies for
exploiting it are only beginning to be developed. Here, a framework for exploiting symmetry …

We consider strongly regular graphs Γ=(V, E) on an even number, say 2 n, of vertices which
admit an automorphism group G of order n which has two orbits on V. Such graphs will be …

There exists a wide variety of applications in which data availability must be continuous, that
is, where the system is never taken off-line and any interruption in the accessibility of stored …

The essential theme of this article is the exploitation of known configurations in projective
planes in order to construct pairwise balanced designs. Among the results shown are (q2+ …
