Proving you can always do more in less, these proceedings of the March 2006 conference includes the papers of the technical sessions and abstracts of the posters. Topics of representative session papers include a source coding theory for sets, new lower and upper bounds on the expected length of optical one-to-one codes, efficient quantizer designs for robust distributed source coding and a practical approach to joint network-source coding, optical prefix codes for some families of two-dimensional geometric distributions, fast compression of scientific floating-point data without loss, low density codes that achieve the rate distortion bound, compression by the suffix tree, vector quantization with model selection, optical index assignment for multiple description of lattice vector quantization, a fast and low complexity image condec based on the backward coding of wavelet trees and a methods of making the correct mistakes.
