Algebraic Topological Methods in Computer Science

该奖项为2001年7月30日至8月3日在斯坦福大学举行的计算机科学代数拓扑方法会议的参与者提供部分支持。近年来，人们对代数拓扑的潜在应用越来越感兴趣。拓扑学现在已经成为计算几何中的一种有价值的工具，也是研究算法和组合学中各种问题的一种方法。本次会议将涵盖几个不同的主题，包括计算几何中的拓扑，拓扑和算法，组合学中的拓扑，以及拓扑作为可视化辅助。演讲者包括该领域的许多领军人物，既有对计算问题感兴趣的数学家，也有以各种方式应用代数拓扑的计算机科学家。我们期待硅谷在这一领域工作的研究人员的大量参与。更多信息，包括邀请演讲者、演讲时间表和住房信息，可在http://math.stanford.edu和http://www.math.uwo.ca/~jardine/at-cs.html上获得

DMS-0106804Gunnar CarlssonThis award provides partial support for participants at a conference on Algebraic Topological Methods in Computer Science to be held at Stanford University, July 30 through August 3, 2001. There has been increasing interest in the potential applications of algebraic topology in recent years. Topology has now become a valuable tool in computational geometry, as well as a method for studying various problems in algorithms and combinatorics. This conference will cover several different themes, including topology in computational geometry, topology and algorithms, topology in combinatorics, and topology as an aid to visualization. The speakers include many of the leaders in this area, including both mathematicians with an interesting in computational questions as well as computer scientists who are applying algebraic topology in various ways. We expect substantial participation from researchers in Silicon Valley who ae working in this area. Further information, including invited speakers, schedule of talks, and housing information, is available at http:// math.stanford.edu and http://www.math.uwo.ca/~jardine/at-cs.html
