Goals
  • Identify broad research themes within theoretical
    computer science (TCS) that have potential for a
    major impact in the future,
  • Distill these research directions into compelling
    nuggets that can quickly convey their importance
    to a layperson.
  • Help CCC others argue for the importance of
    fundamental (T)CS research to nonspecialist
    audiences.

Organization
  • Initiated by SIGACT Committee for Advancement of
    Theoretical Computer Science funded by
    Computing Community Consortium (CCC).
  • Organizers Bernard Chazelle, Anna Karlin,
    Richard Ladner, Dick Lipton, Salil Vadhan
  • Workshop at UW before STOC 08 much follow-up
    work to produce nuggets.
  • 32 participants

Imagine an Internet that automatically and
securely carries out complex computational tasks
for geographically dispersed users, serves
their rich personalized data requests, and
provides seamless group communication. How do we
model this new paradigm to enable algorithms that
are secure, efficient, robust, and energy aware?

Plans
  • Final nuggets to be posted on www.theorymatters.or
    g
  • Wiki also has pages on funding, postdoc
    positions, etc.
  • Will also provide to CCC, NSF, possibly CACM
  • Feel free to use the nuggets yourself.
  • More efforts like this encouraged!
