The fields of communication complexity and information theory form an interrelated domain that investigates the fundamental limits and efficiencies of distributed computation and data transmission.

Algorithmic complexity and information theory are foundational disciplines that intersect to elucidate how data is structured, transmitted and computed. At its core, algorithmic complexity seeks to ...

Many years ago, when supply chain management was simply called logistics, the mode of management was paper reports, faxes and telephones. Computers, particularly PCs, followed. They were so-called ...

Stellenbosch University provides funding as a partner of The Conversation AFRICA. Universities are complex, dynamic organisations which must adapt in ways that aren’t always planned or predicted. For ...

Physicists know about the huge chasm between quantum physics and the theory of gravity. However, in recent decades, theoretical physics has provided some plausible conjecture to bridge this gap and to ...

Selection in Assembly Space. (A) Pictorial representation of the assembly space represents the formation of combinatorial object space from building blocks and physical constraints. (B) Observed copy ...
