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

Computing Science & Systems division Professor Vijay Vazirani recently co-organized an NSF-sponsored workshop at Princeton University, and will host another in March at Caltech.

(December 22, 2006)--College of Computing Professor Vijay Vazirani recently co-organized a theoretical computer science workshop at Princeton University, concentrating on biology, neuroscience, nanotechnology and ecology. Vazirani will host a second workshop series at Caltech in March, focusing on economics, quantum computing, statistical physics, high energy physics and control theory.

"Broadly, the theme is how algorithms, and more generally theoretical computer science can lead to fundamental insights into other sciences," says Vazirani. Both workshops are funded by the National Science Foundation, and will result in a 25-page report by Vazirani and the organizing committee.
