Local coordinators:
Recent research efforts demonstrate that very interesting collective behaviors and phase transition phenomena exist in various distributed information systems, such as large constraint satisfaction formulas, low-density-parity-check codes, networks of neurons, peer-to-peer computer networks, and combinatorial optimization problems. The application of statistical physics methods to these system has lead to great progress in understanding the typical computation complexity of random constraint satisfaction/optimization problems, the solution space evolution and phase transitions of random combinatorial satisfaction problems, the performances of low-density-parity-check codes, ...... The interaction of statistical physics and computer/information science has also resulted in the invention of new efficient message-passing algorithms. The developed methods and ideas will also be very valuable for studing the equilibrium and out-of-equilibirum properties of disordered and frustrated systems.

These pioneer research practices of computer scientists, mathematicians, and physicists have created a new interdisciplinary field that is growing fast. Being a satellite meeting for STATPHYS-24, the 2010 Beijing workshop will be a platform for communicating latest research results, for presenting challenging problems, and for open-minded discusses of new research directions. The topics of this workshop will include (but not limited to) the following:
  • Phase transitions in combinatorial satisfaction/optimization problems
  • Reconstruction of neural and gene-regulation networks from correlation measurements
  • Message-passing algorithms
  • Glassy dynamics of search processes
