Abstract
The principles underlying this report can be summarized as follows: 1. A strong theoretical foundation is vital to computer science. 2. Theory can be enriched by practice. 3. Practice can be enriched by theory. 4. If we consider (2) and (3), the value, impact, and funding of theory will be enhanced. In order to achieve a greater synergy between theory and application, and to sustain and expand on the remarkable successes of Theory of Computing (TOC), we consider it essential to increase the impact of theory on key application areas. This requires additional financial resources in support of theory, and closer interaction between theoreticians and researchers in other areas of computer science and in other disciplines. The report does not make a detailed assessment of the overall state of theoretical computer science or fully chronicle the achievements of this field. Instead, it has the specific objective of recommending ways to harness these remarkable achievements for the solution of ...
