Hi In order to avoid being off-topic, does anybody know any mailing list where people discuss just algorithms specifically? It doesn't need to be compiler construction-specific -- even though they're amongst the most interesting algorithms around.
I've recently devised an algorithm to produce user interfaces/paper forms for equipment inspection rounds. It eventually boils down to finding the largest continuous binary submatrix in a sparse binary matrix. Of course, it would be totally ridiculous is someone else described the algorithm already. I'd like to avoid that kind of embarrasment. The algorithm descends the problem's geometry stream in optimal order, and for each geometry searches the associated combinatorial stream. If someone knows of an interesting discussion place where people can verify each other's results, please let me know. Greetings Erik
