Applications of the ITS Codes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Ettore Majorana International Science Series ((EMISS,volume 38))

Abstract

The structure and operation of the ITS system was discussed in an earlier lecture. Supporting documentation cited in that discussion contains even more information on the subject. Here, we will concentrate on applications of the member codes.
