Workshop on Foundations of Algorithms in the Field

正在进行的技术革命不断带来新的研究挑战，计算机科学领域的无数研究社区通常会自行应对这些挑战。人们普遍认识到，我们需要在这些社区之间进行更紧密的合作：来自不同社区的研究人员“在该领域”共同工作，不断地相互通知，根据他们在该领域的经验在各自的领域进行发明，并锻造同时由算法和系统社区验证的系统和解决方案。这样的经验将产生既实用又强大的算法，以及高效的系统和应用程序，而无需努力使独立的研究线程在事后相遇。我们认为现在是讨论“现场算法”的时候了我们建议发起讨论和合作，了解算法基础在各个CS领域的挑战和前景，并在实践中进一步建立在这些领域中形成的算法基础的愿景。成功案例的发展将提高人们的意识，即跨子学科的合作应该是习惯的，而不是例外。研讨会的主要目标是为该领域的算法示例提供一个工作愿景，并为科学研究确定近期目标和方向的优先顺序。

Ongoing technological revolutions continually bring forth new research challenges and myriad research communities within Computer Science usually respond to them on their own. It has been generally recognized that we need tighter collaboration across these communities: researchers from different communities working jointly "in the field," constantly informing each other, inventing in their respective areas in response to their experience in the field, and forging systems and solutions that are simultaneously validated by both algorithmic and systems communities. Such an experience will produce algorithms that are practical as well as powerful, and systems and applications that are efficient and effective, without working to make independent research threads meet ex post. We believe that the time is appropriate for "Algorithms in the Field." We propose to initiate discussions and collaborations on understanding the challenges and promises of algorithmic foundations in various CS fields, and further establish the vision of algorithmic foundations forged in these fields in practice. The development of successful examples will increase awareness that collaborations across the subdisciplines should be customary, and not exceptional. The main goal of the workshop is to provide a working vision for such examples of Algorithms in the Field, and a prioritization of near term goals and directions for scientific investigation.
