Remembering Rajeev Motwani

This session is a homage to Rajeev Motwani; a brilliant researcher who made fundamental contributions to many areas including randomized algorithms, computational complexity, approximation algorithms, data mining and mathematical modelling of the world-wide web. Rajeev was a great teacher too; he has co-authored two books, one on randomized algorithms and another on theory of computation which have taught these two subjects to students all over the world.
