BFA 2026

The 11th International Workshop on

Boolean Functions and their Applications (BFA)

September 7-11, 2026, Karaköy Minerva Han Communication Center, Istanbul

Organised by the Selmer Center and Sabancı University

Boolean functions and more generally all the discrete structures used in error-correcting coding, cryptography or communications, are highly active research areas. The workshop Boolean Functions and their Applications (BFA) provides a forum for researchers who are working on discrete functions and structures, particularly on Boolean functions and related topics, to exchange ideas and interests in open problems, and to further explore their applications in cryptography, error correcting codes and communications.
