How do you check if a point is inside a triangle That s easy, you look What if you are given a set S with 1,000,000 points in dimension 500

Some freshmen actually believe that a b p a p b p, but most of them know that it is false, but wished that it were true. Nevertheless, if you

Day 1 will feature Historical Encryption Caesar to early 1900s and Encryption Analysis how to attack ciphers mathematically to start the program As part of encryption analysis we will discuss the history of the Enigma Machine and bring a real German Enigma machine out of the vault at West Point

The growing prevalence of cloud computing and other forms of outsourced computation has made protecting computations executed over untrusted platforms or by untrusted agents a central focus of cryptography Examples include secure distributed computation secure database and memory access secure delegation of computation secure software distribution and leakage and tamper

I will explain how I used a photo of a sunset on Lake Michigan to measure the diameter of the Earth.

Software defined networking SDN has fundamentally changed the way in which we organize operate and design computer networks The ability to control the network in software gives rise to many new opportunities but also many new challenges The networking research community in both academia and in industry has in the

The issues facing the planet call for a new type of workforce trained in multidisciplinary and multi national communication and collaboration To function in this rapidly changing world math students will need to appreciate the most important concepts at the interface between their discipline and others They will need to

The recent Ebola outbreak in West Africa reminded us that the world is ill prepared for a severe disease epidemic or for any similar global sustained public emergency The risk of future global severe infectious disease outbreaks in an increasingly connected world is greater than ever In the developing world

This mini symposium is associated with the DIMACS Workshop on Modeling of Infectious Diseases with a Focus on Ebola Because of the importance of local engagement in making workshops in foreign countries succeed this mini symposium at the University Cheikh anta Diop of Dakar will offer participants in our program

Since its introduction at the turn of the millennium network coding has evolved from a simple idea to a mature interdisciplinary filed with a solid body of knowledge generated by a diverse group of researchers Over the years network coding techniques have had significant impacts and benefits in throughput reliability

The Internet revolution enabled private users to send and receive messages from around the world Coupled with cryptographic techniques like public key encryption and digital signatures this gave rise to the development of the World Wide Web e commerce and many other technological innovations that quickly became part of daily

Citizen Science has been defined as public participation in scientific research It is an increasingly important field involving thousands of volunteers who practice scientific activities collect scientific data and disseminate scientific information without being officially scientists The presence of citizen science impacts naturally public policies since it enhances the capacity

The issues facing the planet call for a new type of workforce trained in multidisciplinary and multi national communication and collaboration To function in this rapidly changing world math students will need to appreciate the most important concepts at the interface between their discipline and others They will need to

In the recent years the field of sublinear algorithms has led to new theoretical developments in algorithms for massive data processing The goal of this workshop is to discuss recent work and new challenges in sublinear algorithms and how they relate to Big Data and massively parallel computing Among multiple
