Stochastic Algorithms: Foundations and Applications - Second International Symposium, SAGA 2003, Hatfield, UK, September 22-23, 2003, Proceedings (Paperback, 2003 ed.)

The second Symposium on Stochastic Algorithms, Foundations and Applications (SAGA 2003), took place on September 22 23,2003, in Hat?eld, England.The present volume comprises 12 contributed papers and 3 invited talks. The contributed papers included in the proceedings present results in the following areas: ant colony optimization; randomized algorithmsfor the intersection problem; - cal search for constraint satisfaction problems; randomized local search methods for combinatorial optimization, in particular, simulated annealing techniques; probabilistic global search algorithms; network communication complexity; open shop scheduling; aircraft routing; traf?c control; randomized straight-line programs; and stochastic - tomata and probabilistic transformations. TheinvitedtalkbyRolandKirschnerprovidesabriefintroductiontoquantuminf- matics. The requirements and the prospects of the physical implementation of a qu- tum computer are addressed. Lucila Ohno-Machado and Winston P. Kuo describe the factors that make the an- ysis of high-throughput gene expression data especially challenging, and indicate why properly evaluated stochastic algorithms can play a particularly important role in this process. John Vaccaro et al. review a fundamental element of quantum information theory, source coding, which entails the compression of quantum data. A recent experiment that demonstrates this fundamental principle is presented and discussed. Our special thanks go to all who supported SAGA 2003, to all authors who subm- ted papers, to the members of the program committee, to the invited speakers, and to the members of the organizing committee.
