About DIMACS
DIMACS, the NSF Science and Technology Center for Discrete Mathematics, is a consortium of Rutgers and Princeton Universities, AT&T Labs - Research, Bell Labs, NEC Research and Telcordia Technologies. DIMACS education programs include the Leadership Program in Discrete Mathematics (currently focused on K-8 teachers), the Young Scholars Program in Discrete Mathematics (for high school students) and Research Experience for Undergraduates (college students).
Research activities at DIMACS include implementation challenges, tutorials, and programs called Special Years which focus on emerging topics in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. Topics currently underway include:
- Computational Geometry and Applications
- Computational Information Theory and Coding
- Computational and Mathematical Epidemiology
- Computational Molecular Biology
- Data Analysis and Mining
- Mathematics and the Foundations of Computer and Information Science
- Next Generation Networks Technologies and Applications
