Theory and Applications of Models of Computation: Third International Conference, TAMC 2006, Beijing, China

In several practical circumstances we have to solve a problem whose instance is not a priori completely known. Situations of this kind occur in computer systems and networks management, in financial decision making, in robotics etc. Problems that have to be solved without a complete knowledge of the instance are called on-line problems. The analysis of properties of on-line problems and the design of algorithmic techniques for their solution (on-line algorithms) have been the subject of intense study since the 70-ies, when classical algorithms for scheduling tasks in an on-line fashion [22] and for handling paging in virtual storage systems [11] have been first devised. In the 80-ies formal concepts for analyzing and measuring the quality of on-line algorithms have been introduced [40] and the notion of competitive analysis has been defined as the ratio between the value of the solution that is obtained by an on-line algorithm and the value of the best solution that can be achieved by an optimum off-line algoritm that has full knowledge of the problem instance. Since then a very broad variety of online problems have been addressed in the literature [14, 19]: memory allocation and paging, bin packing, load balancing in multiprocessor systems, updating and searching a data structure (e.g. a list), scheduling, financial investment, etc.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Theory and Applications of Models of Computation, TAMC 2006, held in Beijing, China, in May 2006. The 75 revised full papers presented together with 7 plenary talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 319 submissions. All major areas in computer science, mathematics (especially logic) and the physical sciences particularly with regard to computation and computability theory are addressed.

YouTube: An Insider's Guide to Climbing the Charts
Let me begin by making an observation that the authors are too humble to make for themselves: This book will change your life. But more on that in a moment. First I’m going to do something prototypically YouTubian: I’m going to talk about myself.

Like most people, I got to know YouTube as
