Workshop on Mathematical and Statistical Research Opportunities from Computer Science

National Academy Of Sciences, Washington DC

Investigators

Abstract

The National Research Council's Board on Mathematical Sciences (BMS) and Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) are planning a 1.5-day workshop to explore the actual and potential breadth and depth of their fields' mutual interface. The goals of the planned workshop are to demonstrate the potential for additional cooperation between the mathematical sciences and computer science and to begin building some new research collaborations. The workshop is planned for April 28 (afternoon) and all day on April 29, 2000. It will be held at an NRC facility in Washington, D.C. At least 25-30 researchers will be invited to (1) share research interests that are of interest to both fields, and (2) discuss whether further steps by the NRC are necessary to encourage collaborations between the fields. This activity will be funded jointly by the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, and the Division of Computer and Computation Research of the Computer, Information Sciences and Engineering Directorate.
