Abstract
It is unknown( [1], [2], [4] ) whether there exists a weighing matrix W(17,9) or not. The intersection number of W(17,9) is 6 or 8. We completed the classification of weighing matrices W(17, 9) having the intersection number 8. These matrices are classified into 925 non-equivalent classes. We shall show eight representative weighing matrices only together with their automorphism groups and g-distributions. Of these eight matrices, two have the same g-distribution.
