Abstract
Constrained codes are a kev component in the digital recording devices that have become ubiquitous in computer data storage and electronic e ntertainment applications. This paper surveys the theory and practice of constrained coding, tracing the evolution of the subject from its o rigins in Shannon's classic 1948 paper to present-day applications in high-density digital recorders. Open problems and future research dire ctions are also addressed.
