This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Models of Computation, TAMC 2012, held in Beijing, China, in May 2012. The conference was combined with the Turing Lectures 2012, dedicated to celebrating Alan Turing's unique impact on mathematics, computing, computer science, informatics, morphogenesis, philosophy, and the wider scientific world. Eight Turing Lectures were given at the TAMC 2012. The 40 revised full papers presented together with invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 86 submissions. The papers...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th Annual Conference on Theory and Applications of Models of Computation, TAMC 2014, held in Chennai, India, in April 2014. The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 112 submissions. The papers explore the algorithmic foundations, computational methods and computing devices to meet today's and tomorrow's challenges of complexity, scalability and sustainability, with wide-ranging impacts on everything from the design of biological systems to the understanding of economic markets and social networks.

This book brings together contributions by leading researchers in computational complexity theory written in honor of Somenath Biswas on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. They discuss current trends and exciting developments in this flourishing area of research and offer fresh perspectives on various aspects of complexity theory. The topics covered include arithmetic circuit complexity, lower bounds and polynomial identity testing, the isomorphism conjecture, space-bounded computation, graph isomorphism, resolution and proof complexity, entropy and randomness. Several chapters have a...
