The internet is abuzz with stories about a purported proof that the class P is not equal to the class NP. The author of the proof is Dr. Vinay Deolalikar, a Principal Research Scientist at HP Lab. Professor Richard Lipton’s blog provides some interesting comments and reflections on this manuscript.
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.
