"Better Off Dead?": A discussion of the possibility of rational suicide

Suicide is the ultimate act of self-harm, and has never been promoted by any society in history. But suicidal acts in war or on behalf of one's family may be lauded, and a blind eye sometimes turned to desperate acts of the terminally ill. Looked at from the point of view of philosophy, psychiatry and everyday medical reality, can a case ever be made for being "better off dead?" The March seminar of the Clinical Unit in Ethics and Health Law will be presented by Peter Saul, Michael Hicks and Brian Kelly.

Workshop on Parameterized Complexity and its Applications

Parameterized Complexity is the rapidly advancing field of complexity and algorithmics with wide applications in almost every field dealing with algorithmics. The basic idea is that not all parts of a problem are created equal, and many instances of NP-complete problems are actually tractable, with practical algorithms, when various parts (parameters) of the input structure can be bounded. The Workshop includes Basic Introduction to the field, including some of the recent achievements and open problems. Tools and techniques for showing FPT or hardness, such as preprocessing and kernelization, iterative compression, and reductions. Applications to important fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Social Choice, Bioinformatics, Machine Learning, and Computational Complexity and Algorithmics.
