Computer scientists have invented a highly effective, yet incredibly simple, algorithm to decide which items to toss from a web cache to make room for new ones.

The DETMAX algorithm of Mitchell (1974a) is very commonly used for computer-generated optimal design. Although it is not the default search method for the OPTEX procedure, you can specify that it be ...

This example illustrates the use of the DP and HTRACKS= options to control the routing of the arcs connecting the nodes. The project is a simple construction project with the following data. A ...

That's the question asked by a provocative piece of performance art by Goldsmiths, University of London MFA student Helen Knowles, in which a computer algorithm goes on trial for manslaughter.

Peter Shor, a computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains why he devised an algorithm for a quantum computer that could unravel our online data encryption. Celeste ...

In the paper that describes the algorithm, researchers say that the technology could one day be used to preserve the handwriting of people whose ability to write was damaged by a stroke or perhaps ...

Computers are great a processing large amounts of data very quickly. What computers aren’t nearly as good at (though the ...

YouTube is about to turn 20. An unusual research method is unveiling statistics about the platform that Google would rather keep hidden.
