The Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science
(DIMACS) was founded as one of America's first class of National
Science Foundation Science and Technology Centers. Based at Rutgers,
it is a consortium of Rutgers and Princeton universities and AT&T
Labs-Research, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, the Cancer Institute of New
Jersey, NEC Laboratories America, and Telcordia Technologies, with
partners at Avaya Labs, Georgia Institute of Technology, HP Labs, IBM
Research, Microsoft Research, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and
Stevens Institute of Technology. DIMACS offers workshops, seminars,
and tutorials; hosts postdoctoral fellows and graduate students; runs
precollege and undergraduate programs to address topics of scientific
importance; and runs multidisciplinary research projects. It also
hosts the Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence
CCICADA, the Command, Control, and Interoperability Center for
Advanced Data Analysis. Recent sample topics at DIMACS include
communication security and information privacy, computation and the
socio-economic sciences, information processing in biology, discrete
random systems, computational and mathematical epidemiology,
algorithmic foundations of the internet, hardness of approximation,
algorithmic decision theory, container inspection at ports, and sensor
management for nuclear detection.
