Associate Professor Sashank Varma co-organized a week-long seminar on resource-bounded problem solving at the Leibniz Informatics Center in Germany. This topic is important because problem solving, whether by humans or machines, is resource-bounded. As the complexity of a problem increases, so do the memory and time required to solve it. We can ask how systems respond to these increasing demands, and how they cope when these demands exceed their capacities. These questions are central to several disciplines. The seminar brought together 41 researchers from around the world in theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, and cognitive neuroscience to share ideas and to identify points of agreement and directions for future research. Dr. Varma discussed his research on flexible allocation of resources during mathematical problem solving. His co-organizers were Yll Haxhimusa (TU Wien, Austria), Iris van Rooij (Radboud University, Netherlands), and Todd Wareham (Memorial University, Newfoundland, CA). His travel was partially funded by an International Travel Grant from the University’s Global Programs and Strategy Alliance.
