The interface between computer science and the mathematical sciences

ON 28–29 APRIL 2000, THE BOARD ON MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES AND THE COMPUTER SCIENCE AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS BOARD OF THE NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL COSPONSORED A WORKSHOP ON THE INTERFACE BETWEEN THE mathematical sciences and three areas of computer science: network traffic modeling, computer vision, and data mining. The workshop’s goal was to identify some open research questions in the mathematical sciences whose solutions could contribute to important unsolved problems in those computer science disciplines. The 48 participants engaged in lively discussions and identified at least 36 research challenges of a mathematical, statistical, or probabilistic nature.
