This was a lively and productive conference, as bets a "Hot Topic". Perhaps the highlight, described in more detail below, was the discovery (through discussions among the participants) that Eliashberg could prove a theorem on capping off a symplectic 4-manifold with convex boundary

this feature of the Blogosphere, we could attempt to discover hot topics during a time interval. We present Kleinberg’s algorithm about finding bursty and hierarchical streams; we apply it on titles of blog posts to discover bursty terms and compare the results to that produced by Blogscope, an online system

Selected recent results and future prospects for the CLEO-c experiment at CESR are reviewed. The topics covered include measurements of leptonic and semileptonic charm decays made with data collected at the ψ(3770) resonance and results from a scan of the center-of-mass energy range from 3970

gases. We shall explain some of the results in this article, and describe the mathematics involved in understanding these phenomena. Topics include the ground state energy and the free energy at positive temperature, the effect of interparticle interaction on the critical temperature for Bose

loud computing has become a scalable-services consumption and delivery plat-form in the field of services comput-ing.1 It aims to share resources among cloud-service consumers and cloud partners and vendors in the value chain shown in Figure 1. The resource sharing at different levels results in various cloud offerings: infrastructure as a service (IaaS) focuses on hardware and IT in-frastructure management, platform as a service (PaaS) concentrates on middleware and design tools as a service, software as a service (SaaS) deals with traditional software applications such as customer relationship management or social networking as a service, and business process as

We present recent DØ results based on approximately 1 fb −1 of p¯p collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV recorded at the Fermilab Tevatron. Preliminary results on a search for the flavor changing neutral current process D + → π + µ + µ − , a measurement of the CP violation parameter in B mixing, ǫB, and a two sided limit on the Bs oscillation frequency ∆ms are presented. The limits on ǫB and B(D + → π + µ + µ − ) are the world’s best limits. The two sided bound on ∆ms is the first direct indication by a single experiment that ∆ms is bounded from above.

The most precise current determination of the Unitarity Triangle angle φ3 is presented. It is obtained using the decay B + → D (∗) K +, with Dalitz plot analysis of the subsequent D → KSπ + π − decay. The result is φ3 = 68 ◦ +14◦ −15◦(stat) ± 13 ◦ (syst) ± 11 ◦ (model). 1
