Outreach Roadshow

This workshop is organized under the auspices of the NSF ITR-funded ALADDIN Center, in which this is the second meeting of a PROBlem-oriented Exploration (or PROBE) on the topic. Network Design with its many variants is one of the most active mathematical research areas involving researchers from Theoretical Science, Graph Theory, Operations Research, Discrete Optimization, Game Theory and Information Theory. In addition, new problems in this area are constantly propounded by practitioners working in various aspects of network design such as construction, routing and staged deployment. Furthermore, many new design paradigms such as ATM, Ad Hoc and Wireless networking add rich new flavors to existing problems. The goal of this PROBE is to focus on this active area of applications of algorithms to understand current trends, identify understudied areas, and formulate new directions for further investigation. To this end, the PROBE will solicit participation from a sufficiently eclectic mix of experts from real-world network design and deployment, graph algorithms, network coding, algorithmic mechanism design applied to pricing problems in networks, and configuration and routing of networks.

This workshop is currently in the planning stage; details will be published on this Web site as they become available.
