These are mostly guided by my interests in compression and mathematics, evolutionary algorithms and artificial life, artificial intelligence, robotics and financial modeling. You will also find useful pointers to research centers, universities and professional organizations.

Compression and Multimedia

• One can access the geometry center at the University of Minessota.
• For sources of data compression algorithms ftp garbo.uwasa.fi and get the file lds_11.zip. You can also try ftp.gwdg.de and look for the file epic.tar.gz .
• For good explanation of JPEG look here.
• Get the most recent version of the Wavelet package .
• Look at the excellent Stanford Computer Graphics home page.

• People and Groups
  
  • Cognitive Computer Science Research Group at UC San Diego (Rik Belew)
  • The Adaptive and Evolutionary Systems Group at COGS, University of Sussex.
  • MIT's media lab .
  • Gregory J. E. Rawlins of the Indiana University Computer Science Department
  • Santa Fe Institute's homepage.
  • L. Darrell Whitley.

• MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
• Intelligent Software Agents
• Look also at the Agent Programming and Communication Languages
• Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research

• Berkeley
• Cal Tech Robotics Lab Home Page
• Columbia
• MIT AI Lab Home Page
• University of Rochester Vision and Robotics Lab
• For the Stanford Robotics Lab home page try this pointer.

Several universities, companies and research centers have useful home pages.

• Take a look at the general Stanford University home page.
• The U. of Washington server has interesting computer science stuff.
• So does the Information Science Institute at USC. The university also has a cool Entertainment Technology Center.
• You can also look for vision related stuff at NASA.
• For Terry Winograd's group at Stanford look at the PCD server.
• From the professional organizations SIAM (the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics has a useful gopher service.
• The MIT Press
• National Science Foundation
• Computer Science Technical Reports Archive Sites
• Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
• American Mathematical Society (AMS)
• Mathematical Association of America (MAA)
• You might want to check what is going on at SRI International.
• Los Alamos National Laboratory's and the Center for Nonlinear Studies are great places to look at.

These include references to local and other information resources.

• For research on commerce on the Internet you can look at Commerce.net
• Palo Alto Weekly is also online.
• San Jose Mercury News have hypelinks in articles.
• Wired is always fun to read.
• Britannica Online is an interesting site.

My hobies are travel, bridge, skiing and flying.

• Great mountains and chiles to enjoy in New Mexico.
• For information on Bulgaria and Bulgarians abroad look here.
• If you plan a trip oversees you can check out the currency converter for the purchasing strength of the dollar in the country you are going to.
• Watch the Space Shuttle Endeavour .
• Good site in France is INRIA .
• For information about jujitsu and the Stanford club where I spent a lot of my evenings for more than 3 years look here.
• The Stanford Bridge Club where I used to play often also have a home page.
