Abstract:

In this talk we will give an overview of the research at TCS and the current problems being addressed. TCS is looking to increase its collaborations with academia, and with such goal we are visiting a number of UK universities looking for long range research programs in areas of interest to TCS . We are looking for collaborations, each of the form of a joint activity between a research group at a university and a group in the company. We have a number of such collaborations between groups in TCS and academic partners in different countries and are seeking to extend them further.
