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.

Orthogonal Factorizations of Graphs (B. Alspach, et al.). Conjugate-Orthogonal Latin Squares and Related Structures (F.Bennett & L. Zhu). Directed and Mendelsohn Triple Systems (C. Colbourn & A.Rosa). Room Squares and Related Designs (J. Dinitz & D.Stinson). Steiner Quadruple Systems (A. Hartman & K. Phelps). Difference Sets (D. Jungnickel). Decomposition Into Cycles II: Cycle Systems (C. Lindner & C.Rodger). Coverings and Packings (W. Mills & R. Mullin). Colorings of Block Designs (A. Rosa & C. Colbourn). Hadamard Matrices, Sequences, and Block Designs (J. Seberry &M. Yamada). Large Sets of Disjoint Designs and Related Structures (L.Teirlinck). One-Factorizations of Complete Graphs (W. Wallis). Index.
