The "theory-edge" mailing list is for informal, collegial
discussion of the latest research advances, and especially
newsworthy cutting-edge or breakthrough developments, in the
hardest problems in algorithmics. FREE! Try it out now!

We're particularly seeking elite scientists, academics,
researchers, and practitioners such as PhDs and
graduate students. We have a few "mini-celebrities" currently
on the list.
Past traffic is diverse. 1st priority items of interest are
recent news reports or media coverage on fresh advances or
breakthroughs in these areas and subscriber reaction/commentary
to them. Its a gift economy--please post them when you run into
them! And more and more, we've already heard and discussed
the cool news *before* it hits the mainstream outlets!

Next, we're extremely interested in cutting-edge advances in
computational methods, both on the applied and theoretical sides.
A strong scientific component emerges from engaged and active
subscribers. We've now had three major "open science", *world-class*
research projects and collaborations on the list. Its an exciting
treat to hear daily notes sent by researchers at the cutting edge!

Other interesting theory-edge topics routinely pop up on the list.
Lots of cyber-synchronicity and synergy occurs among people's
backgrounds when you get a lot of really intelligent and articulate
researchers in the "same room"!

The greatest scientists have always spurred the greatest
controversy. We're into discussing the work of any, alive or
passed, to advance or consider the state of the art. And we
absolutely dont tolerate fluff or hype!

When nothing else is going on, there's always something else
to muse about or write a mini-essay on, to shed some new
light on the subject! A scientific society for the 21st century!
