There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

ARC presents “The Power of Randomness in Computation Workshop”, co-sponsored by the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) at the University of Minnesota.
This workshop will be held at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Klaus Building room 1116, 266 Ferst Drive, NW, Atlanta, GA 30332-0765.
This workshop will bring together researchers from a variety of fields to highlight new results broadly related to the use of randomization in algorithm design.
Talks will highlight new results in the area of randomized algorithms and probabilistic tools for algorithm design. The workshop will also include recent successes in derandomization and problems where there are efficient deterministic algorithms but not yet randomized versions, such as Weitz's approximate counting approach and recent extensions of it.
The workshop will attempt to bring various experts interested in this general theme and identify challenging open problems and discuss ways to approach and attack them.
