Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science
Mission
The Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS) is a collaborative effort of Rutgers and Princeton Universities, AT&T Labs - Research, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, Telcordia Technologies, NEC Laboratories America, and the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and their scientific personnel, as well as their colleagues nationwide, working together to play a national leadership role in the development, application and dissemination of discrete mathematics (dm) and theoretical computer science (tcs) by
- promoting and supporting high quality research within these fields, especially research areas that are poised for rapid advancement and have a potential for high impact;
- promoting and supporting the application of the methods and results of these fields in other areas of science, the mathematical sciences, and industry;
- encouraging and facilitating efforts of researchers in these fields to draw more of their research inspiration from other areas of science, the mathematical sciences, and industry;
- informing the broader mathematical community about the research currently taking place in the fields of dm/tcs and involving them in these fields; and
- promoting and facilitating the incorporation of contemporary mathematical ideas and techniques in these fields into classrooms at all levels.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
