A new, simple and fast algorithm finds a sequence of nested minimum cuts of a bipartite parametric flow network. The talk models how this new method can solve a number of interesting real-world problems.

Viewpoints Research Insitute recently began a five-year project to reinvent programming and interaction with computers.

Now that the IT industry is urgently facing perhaps its greatest challenge in 50 years, and computer architecture is a necessary but not sufficient component to any solution, this talk declares that computer architecture is interesting once again.
