FUN with Algorithms (FUN 2001)
Isola d'Elba, Italy, May 29-31, 2001
... pleasure has probably been the main goal all along.
But I hesitate to admit it,
because computer scientists want to maintain their
image as hard-working individuals
who deserve high salaries. Sooner or later society
will realise that certain kinds of hard
work are in fact admirable even though they are more
fun than just about anything else. (D.E. Knuth)
This is the second conference dedicated to the use, design, and analysis of algorithms and data structures, focusing on results that provide amusing, witty but nonetheless original and scientifically profound contributions to the area.
