Dear PODC community,
the last EATCS Bulletin of this year is now available:
It includes an interview with Monika Henzinger and a viewpoint column by Sophie Huiberts who examines how awards’ recipients are selected in our communities and how this relates to the status of women in our field.
Omer Reingold, in the theory blogs column, shares his thoughts on how to make a research environment supportive for young researchers, and talks about his “research life stories” project and experiences with starting several blogs.
In the logic column, an elegant proof is presented, accessible to the non-experts, about a fundamental result related to the question whether there is a logic that captures PTIME. We further have two interesting surveys in the algorithms and the complexity column (related to Taylor’s theorem, and about derandomizing space-bounded computation, respectively), an overview of current challenges and open questions in the area of robust clock synchronization (in the distributed computing column), and an assessment of interactive online learning systems (in the educational column).
I hope you enjoy the new Bulletin and I wish everyone a nice remainder of the year!
Stefan
