Tutorial Workshop on Mathematical Foundations for the Internet
Monday, 17 September 2007
The London Mathematical Society
This event forms part of an LMS initiative of activities at the
interface between Mathematics and Computer Science. The event will
showcase a range of mathematical topics that are helping to build our
understanding of how the Internet behaves and how the protocols that it
uses can be designed to perform better. The LMS especially welcomes
participation by research students from both the Computer Science and
Mathematics communities.
