21st century paradigm shifts, DELIVERED DAILY! The "theory-edge" mailing list is for informal, collegial discussion of the latest research advances, and especially newsworthy cutting-edge or breakthrough developments, in the hardest problems in algorithmics. FREE! Try it out now!
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theory-edge/ FAQ: http://www.geocities.com/vznuri/faq.html 3 YEARS OLD ** EST.MAY 1998 ** 700+ SUBSCRIBERS ** 4500+ MSGS openly browsable/searchable archives ** ~7 msgs/day average We're particularly seeking elite scientists, academics, researchers, and practitioners such as PhDs and graduate students. We have a few "mini-celebrities" currently on the list. Past traffic is diverse. 1st priority items of interest are recent news reports or media coverage on fresh advances or breakthroughs in these areas and subscriber reaction/commentary to them. Its a gift economy--please post them when you run into them! And more and more, we've already heard and discussed the cool news *before* it hits the mainstream outlets! news media fields comp sci ---------- ------ -------- wired algorithmics modelling slashdot comp sci simulations new york times mathematics experiments cnn comp bio cellular automata MIT tech review comp neurosci machine learning new scientist bioinformatics artificial intelligence sci. american proteomics artificial neural networks science week econophysics genetic algorithms science daily statistics evolutionary software artificial life cryptography Next, we're extremely interested in cutting-edge advances in computational methods, both on the applied and theoretical sides. A strong scientific component emerges from engaged and active subscribers. We've now had three major "open science", *world-class* research projects and collaborations on the list. Its an exciting treat to hear daily notes sent by researchers at the cutting edge! computing forms computational science & --------------- complexity research QM computing ---------- -------- light/optical computing P vs NP vs Pspace conferences nanocomputing NP (complete) problems workshops dna computing transition point new papers biochips boolean circuits writing papers logic gates/transistors satisfiability problem graduate students reconfigurable computing davis putnam algorithm masters thesis distributed computing resolution PhDs parallel computing hard instances dissertation supercomputers benchmarks electronic publishing beowulf clusters validation peer reviewing regular expressions style/etiquette finite state machines funding/grants turing machines philosophy undecidability psychology diagonalization kuhn's paradigm shifts oracles/relativization popper's falsifiability symmetries recursion Other interesting theory-edge topics routinely pop up on the list. Lots of cyber-synchronicity and synergy occurs among people's backgrounds when you get a lot of really intelligent and articulate researchers in the "same room"! software mathematics physics -------- ----------- ------- packages unprovability quantum mechanics libraries factoring/primes local hidden variables computer languages graphs analog computing open source games bell's theorem groups agent complexity AI advances chaos ----------- open problems fractals robotics ------------- levy distributions face recognition riemann conjecture 1/f noise speech recognition collatz conjecture fractional brownian auto theorem proving goldbach conjecture motion turing test odd perfect numbers nonlinear dynamics fermat's last theorem protein folding academia & busy beaver problem universities ------------ prizes & awards santa fe institute --------------- princeton institute clay math prize problems for advanced study wolf prize dimacs institute turing award fields medal The greatest scientists have always spurred the greatest controversy. We're into discussing the work of any, alive or passed, to advance or consider the state of the art.
