problems.
A description of these problems will also appear in the COLT
proceedings.
The write-up of an open problem should include the following:
  1. A clear, self-contained description of an open problem
  2. Motivation for the study of this problem
  3. The current state of understanding for this problem, including  
known partial solutions and citations of related published work
We especially encourage people to propose descriptions of new  
interesting research directions in areas that are currently outside  
the scope of COLT, such as bioinformatics, privacy and security, and  
vision, to name a few. Ideally, your open problems or research  
directions should include well-defined mathematical questions,  
nontrivial, and explainable without requiring too much specialized  
background knowledge in a 5-10 minutes talk. Monetary rewards for  
solving an open problem are encouraged but not required. Format and  
submission: The open problems should be 1-2 pages long in the COLT  
proceedings format.
Please submit them electronically to open@colt2010.org with subject line
"open problem for Colt2010". The submissions, in pdf or ps, should be  
attached to the email.
Deadline: March 13, 2010.
