Colloquium

I will describe the 2nd generation Onion Routing* system, Tor,which is freely available from http://freehaven.net/tor/. I will give backround on anonymous communication in general and on related systems.

In order to enable computers to understand and use natural language, a massive amount of knowledge, linguistic and otherwise, must be amassed.

Models for the processes by which ideas and influence propagate through a social network have been studied in a number of domains,including the diffusion of scientific and technological innovations,the sudden and widespread adoption of various strategies in game-theoretic settings, and the effects o

The Internet is a network of competing networks. Independent network operators have access to the proprietary details of their own networks, but neither researchers nor network operators have had access to the detailed, global picture of the Internet needed to find and correct network vulnerabilitie

Most classification algorithms were originally designed for fixed-size vectors.

One of the main reasons for the success of the internet is its service model that emphasizes flexibility. While this freedom enabled the widespread deployment of the applications popular today such as email and Web, it has also greatly complicated the task of administering these networks.

The frameworks of game theory and mechanism design have exerted significant influence on formal models of multiagent systems and electronic markets by providing tools for designing and analyzing systems in order to guarantee certain desirable outcomes.

In real life we seamless interact with others. Humans have strong interpersonal skills that enable them to utilize many subtle cues to coordinate their actions and communication. Now introduce computers to the mix.
