Algorithms & Randomness Center and ThinkTank (ARC ThinkTank)

The ARC ThinkTank brings together faculty from the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, along with Math and ISyE to find algorithms and algorithmic models for real-world problems across the sciences and, in the process, seeking new directions and techniques for the emerging theory of algorithms.

The Algorithms and Randomness Center Think Tank conducted a series of three distinguished lectures on Friday, November 10th 2006. For more information, go here.
