Abstract

PI: James Crowley Proposal Number: CCR-0085700 The Workshop on Challenges for Theoretical Computer Science will be held on Saturday, May 20, 2000 at Portland State University during the Symposium on the Theory of Computing. In this workshop, the participants will survey the many challenging directions open to theoretical computer science at the beginning of the 21st Century. What are the areas in which theory can have, is having, might have an impact? The Workshop will cover a full range of opportunities, from gaining new understanding of the fundamental mechanisms and limitations of computing to impacting science, information technology, and commerce. A report of the deliberations at the workshop will be prepared and distributed to the theoretical computer science community and interested scientists and engineers.
