You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing''' at the [[University of California, Berkeley]] is an institute for collaborative research in [[theoretical computer science]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://sinews.siam.org/Details-Page/berkeley-tops-competition-for-simons-institute-in-theoretical-cs|title=Berkeley Tops Competition for Simons Institute in Theoretical CS|website=SIAM News|language=en-US|access-date=2019-09-14))</ref>

==History==
Established on July 1, 2012 with a grant of $60 million from the [[Simons Foundation]],<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/01/science/simons-foundation-chooses-uc-berkeley-for-computing-center.html| newspaper=[[New York Times]]|title=California Chosen as Home for Computing Institute |last=Markoff|first=John|date=April 30, 2012))</ref> the Institute is housed in Calvin Lab, a dedicated building on the [[Berkeley campus]]. The Simons Institute brings together the leading researchers in theoretical computer science and related fields, as well as the next generation of outstanding young scholars, to explore deep unsolved problems about the nature and limits of computation.

[[Richard M. Karp]] was Founding Director of the Institute, and fellow [[Turing Award]] winner [[Shafi Goldwasser]] took over as Director on January 1, 2018.<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.dailycal.org/2017/10/13/goldwasser/| newspaper=[[The Daily Californian]]|title=Renowned computer scientist Shafi Goldwasser to join Simons Institute|date=October 13, 2017))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://cacm.acm.org/news/221776-shafi-goldwasser-appointed-director-of-the-simons-institute-for-the-theory-of-computing/fulltext|title=Shafi Goldwasser Appointed Director of the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing|website=cacm.acm.org|language=en|access-date=2019-09-14))</ref>

== Mission ==
The Institute aims to promote fundamental research on the foundations of [[computer science]], as well as to expand the horizons of the field by exploring other scientific disciplines through a ''computational lens''. This second and distinctive goal is motivated by the fact that natural phenomena in many scientific fields (including mathematics, statistics, physics, astronomy, biology and economics), or the models those fields have developed for these phenomena, are intrinsically computational in nature—from chemical processes in living cells to the self-organizing behavior of complex systems of interacting particles, to mechanisms governing human evolution and the collective behavior of competing agents in an economy. The insights gained from such explorations often reflect back to the theory of computation, opening new directions and advancing our understanding of fundamental issues in complexity theory and algorithms.

== Activities ==
The Institute's core activities revolve around a rotating sequence of programs; a program typically runs for one semester, and there will usually be two concurrent programs each semester.<ref>((cite web |title=Programs & Activities |url=https://simons.berkeley.edu/programs |website=Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing |access-date=28 October 2021))</ref> Run by a small group of organizers, a program typically includes 60-70 long-term participants (a mix of senior and junior researchers), with additional short-term visitors attending workshops during the semester. Junior participants are supported by the Fellowships program.

Program topics are intended to span all areas of theoretical computer science, as well as its connections to other scientific disciplines; the Institute particularly aims to identify programs that can potentially lead to substantial advances in the field, rather than promoting "business as usual".
