Thomas M. Cover and B. Gopinatb The papers in this volume are the
contributions to a special workshop on problems in communication
and computation conducted in the summers of 1984 and 1985 in
Morristown, New Jersey, and the summer of 1986 in Palo Alto.
California. The structure of this workshop was unique: no recent
results. no surveys. Instead. we asked for outstanding open prob
lems in the field. There are many famous open problems, including
the question P = NP?, the simplex conjecture in communication
theory, the capacity region of the broadcast channel. and the
two.helper problem in information theory. Beyond these well-defined
problems are certain grand research goals. What is the general
theory of information flow in stochastic networks? What is a
comprehensive theory of computational complexity? What about a
unification of algorithmic complexity and computational complex
ity? Is there a notion of energy-free computation? And if so, where
do information theory, communication theory, computer science, and
physics meet at the atomic level? Is there a duality between
computation and communication? Finally. what is the ultimate impact
of algorithmic com plexity on probability theory? And what is its
relationship to information theory? The idea was to present
problems on the first day. try to solve them on the second day, and
present the solutions on the third day. In actual fact, only one
problem was solved during the meeting -- El Gamal's prob. lem on
noisy communication over a common line."
