		If they are not, then NP-complete problems are problems that are provably hard.
		Importance: This problem is fundamentally equivalent to scheduling instructions in a superscalar computer, and to scheduling parallel tasks systems optimally in a multiprocessor with 3 processors.

		Computational complexity is the study of the quantitative laws that govern computing and it classifies computational problems by the needed computational resources to solve them.
		It will be seen that the well know computational complexity classes, P, NP and P-SPACE, are directly characterized by the computational complexity of checking correctness of proofs, finding of proofs, and the possibility to convince somebody with high probability that a proof of a theorem exists, even if it is far too long to read.
		Since the relations between P, NP and P-SPACE are still unsolved problems in computer science, it links the complexity of doing mathematics to some of the most important unsolved problems in computer science and mathematics.

	CVwiki:Introduction - Computer vision
		Computer vision is the science (some say art) of programming a computer to process, and ultimately understand, images and video.
		Computer Vision is one of the ultimate unsolved problems in computer science, and solving it, or even small parts of it, creates exciting new possibilities in technology, engineering and even entertainment.
		The area of Computer Vision is too broad (touching computer science, optics, engineering, mathematics and even biology and psychology) and has too many applications for one person to know.

	USS Clueless -- Unsolved problems in Computer Science
		The problem is that if the physical distance from emitter to collector is sufficiently short, and if the field on the base is sufficiently low (though still "off") then electrons can temporarily borrow enough energy to cross the barrier anyway.
		The problem is that we only have the most primitive ideas of how to program such a beast, except when taking on problems which are fundamentally parallel anyway.
		This is the great problem for computer science in the first half of the twenty-first century.

		For the computer science major, we have to be able to recruit from within the entering class, rather than count on students coming into college as computer science majors.
		For the computer science minor, we are breaking with the tradition of a “one size fits all” minor.
		Other areas that we are considering for the development of new minors are cognitive science, with the psychology and philosophy departments; scientific computing, with the physics and chemistry departments; and computational biology, with the biology department.

		The goal of the field of machine learning is to build computer systems that learn from experience and are able to adapt to their environments.
		Although elements of computer graphics are covered (e.g., two- and three-dimensional transforms), the main focus is on image processing techniques.
		The main objective of the course is to convey basic intuitions behind the unsolved and solved problems and to introduce some of the techniques that provided solutions to some of the problems.

		This collection of original essays by distinguished computer scientists celebrates the achievements of research and speculates about the unsolved problems in computer science which require future investigation.
		The book's purpose is to show that long-term research in computer science is crucial and that it must not be driven solely by commercial considerations.
		Thus the book also represents a broad overview of much of the current state of knowledge and future expectations of computer science, illustrating that it is much more than a technology and is now a fully-fledged and growing intellectual discipline with its own engineering principles and its own scientific concepts and models.
