Introduction

2004 and 2005 have been remarkable years for CIRCA.

We began 2004 welcoming new research staff (Murray Elder, James Mitchell, and Colva Roney-Dougal) to work on our EPSRC grants (awarded in 2003) in Symmetry and search, Computational semigroup theory and Combinatorics, and were joined during the year by Ian Miguel and Sophie Huczsynska, who chose to bring their personal research fellowships to the Centre. Building on this success, 2004 also saw the progress of our “Critical Mass” grant application (funding a substantial expansion of our multidisciplinary research over five years), from outline application (in March) through final selection panel (the most nerve-wracking presentation I’ve ever done) in December, to confirmation of our success just in time for the CIRCA Christmas party. At the same party we were also celebrating Colva’s appoinment to a lectureship and James and Sophie’s Academic Fellowships. One way and another the medium and long-term futures of interdisciplinary research and computational algebra seem very secure. 2004 also saw us entertaining visitors, organizing conferences and, of course, doing and publishing research in a wide range of areas as detailed in the rest of this report.

2005 saw the Critical Mass project actually begin in September, following a summer of recruiting support staff (John McDermott and Angie Miguel) and researchers (Alan Cain, Beth Holmes and Tom Kelsey) and trying to work out how to organize and manage the new, much expanded CIRCA. The summer also saw the Groups St Andrews conference return very successfully to St Andrews for the first time since 1989, and the success of another large grant application, this time in the European arena: “SCIEnce: Symbolic Computation Infrastructure for Europe” aims to bring together a number of groups developing (pure) mathematical software to make their systems more modern and more composable as well as promoting and supporting use of symbolic computation in European research. This project will start in April 2006. Also in 2005 our “license” from the University to exist as a Centre was renewed for another five years.

Ending my introduction to our 2002/3 “annual” report I said “The Centre enters 2004 larger and stronger than ever before, with more staff and students pursuing a broader range of exciting research projects and fruitful collaborations than ever before.” I’m delighted now to be able to say that as we enter 2006, the same claims can still be made.

Grants

Major New Grants in 2004 and 2005:

  1. Multidisciplinary Critical Mass in Computational Algebra and Applications (2005-2010), EPSRC, £1,098,897
    Linton, SA, Gent, IP, Miguel, I, Ruskuc, N, Quick, M, Robertson, E, Mackenzie, A, Leonhardt, U.

The problem addressed by this proposal is the development, implementation and especially the application of algorithms for computing in and with, algebraic objects such as groups, rings and monoids, that is, to compute with symmetry in its most general sense.

There are exciting interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary challenges at three stages of this: the development of new algorithms; the design of a system to allow them to be effectively implemented and combined; and their application to problems either in mathematics, or in a separate target discipline such as artificial intelligence or solid-state physics.

 

We propose an integrated programme to address the fragmentation of Europe’s symbolic computation software infrastructure. This is vital infrastructure for research in a wide range of scientific disciplines, and European groups have developed many leading systems which are widely used in research, but are not composable, duplicate development effort and are failing to track relevant developments in underpinning Computer Science. We will address these issues by jointly undertaking a program of networking, software development and research, complemented by a programme of trans-national access to the world-leading Centre of Expertise at RISC-Linz.

Conferences Organised

SymNet Workshop (2004)

The first Symmetry & Search Network (SymNet) Summer School was held at St Andrews from Monday 28th June to Friday 22nd July 2004. The topics covered included: Symmetry in Planning, Symmetry breaking in Constraint Programming, an introduction to ECLiPSe, an introduction to Computational Group Theory, GAP programming, an introduction to Boolean Satisfiability, Model Checking – symmetry detection in models of concurrent systems, Graph Theory, Design Theory, and Proof Complexity – symmetry gaps and complexity. The speakers were: Derek Long, Barbara Smith, Ian Gent, Karen Petrie, Warwick Harvey, Steve Linton, Igor Markov, Alastair Donaldson, Brendan McKay, Jan Degraer, Leonard Soicher, and Soren Riis.

SAT (2005)

From the proceedings of SAT 2005:

The 8th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiablility Testing was held in St Andrews from June 19th-June 23rd 2005. The 2005 SAT Solver Competition and 2005 QBF Solver Evaluation took place along with the conference. SAT 2005 provided an international forum for the most recent research on the satisfiability problem (SAT). SAT is the classic problem of determining whether or not a propositional formula has a satisfying truth assignment. It was the first problem shown by Cook to be NP-complete. Despite its seemingly specialized nature, satisfiability testinghas proved to be extremely useful in a wide range of different disciplines, from from a practical as well as a theoretical point of view. For example, work on SAT continues to provide insight into various fundamental problems in computation, and SAT solving technology has advanced to the poitn where it has become the most effective way of solving a number of practical problems.

The SAT series of conferences are multidisciplinary conferences intended to bring together researchers from various disciplines who are interested in SAT. Topics of interest include , but are not limited to: proof systems and proof complexity; search algorithms and heuristics; analysis of algorithms; theories beyond the propositional; hard instances and random formulae; problem encodings; industrial applications; solvers and other tools.

SARA (2005)

From the proceedings of SARA 2005:

The 6th Symposium on Abstraction, Reformulation and Approximation 2005 was held in Airth Castle near Falkirk from July 26th to July 29th 2005. This was just prior to the IJCAI 2005 conference in Edinburgh. This was the first time that the symposium was held in Europe.

Abstractions, reformulations and approximations (AR&A) have found applications in a variety of disciplines and problems, including constraint satisfaction, design, diagnosis, machine learning, planning, qualitative reasoning, scheduling, resource allocation and theorem proving, but are also deeply rooted in philisophy and cognitive science. The papers SARA 2005 capture a cross-section of the various facets of the fieldand of its applications. One of the primary uses of AR&A is oriented to overcome computational intractability. AR&A techniques, however, have also proved useful for knowledge aquisition, explanation and other applications.

Groups St Andrews (2005)

Groups St Andrews 2005 ran from 30th July – 6th August and was held in St Andrews. This conference was the 7th in the series. The conference aims to cover all aspects of group theory. Lecture courses were given that aimed to be accessible to postgraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers in all areas of group theory. The principal speakers were:

Scottish Algebra Day (2005)

Scottish Algebra Day 2005 was held at Edinburgh University on the 6th May 2005. It involved talks on “Representing words in automorphisms groups” by John Truss (Leeds), “The geometry monoid of an algebriac law” by Patrick Dehornoy (Caen, France), “Localization theorems in modern algebra” by Dmitry Rumynin (Warwick), and “Algebras defined by homogeneous semigroup relations” by Jan Okninski (Warsaw, Poland).

The Copson Lecture (2005)

The first Copson lecture was held in November 2005. The school of Mathematics and Statistics received a generous endowment from the Copson family to fund a bi-annual lecture in memory of Professor Edward Copson, a former Regis Professor of Mathematics here at St Andrews, and Mrs Beatrice Copson. The Copson lecture will alternate with the Curle lecture, which was last held in 2004. The speaker for this first Copson lecture was Marcus du Sautoy (University of Oxford). The title of the lecture was “Music of the Primes”.
