Composed objects arise very naturally in hierarchical/modular modeling of physical/computer systems. In essence the interfacing of layers (modules) corresponds to function composition.
In this talk, we show how to efficiently carry out several fundamental computations (in computer algebra) on composed objects, taking advantage of their composition structures.
In particular, we will illustrate this idea for two fundamental computer algebraic objects: Subresultants and Groebner basis.
Similar interpolation problems can be posed for functions of several complex variables, leading to open questions. New methods in functional analysis provide answers, but those come in terms of a theory of Hankel operators in product spaces (e.g., in the polydisk) that is surprisingly different to that in one variable (e.g., in the disk).

Computing with Composed Objects
A composed object is the one that is made of several objects. For example, let A(x,y), B(x,y) and C(x,y) be function objects. By composing of A with B and C, we obtain the composed object: A'(x,y) = A(B(x,y),C(x,y)).

Cora Sadosky
Interpolation in the Disk and the Polydisk
The classical problems of interpolation and approximation by analytic functions were posed and solved at the beginning of the century by Pick, Nevanlinna, Caratheodory, Fejer and Schur. These same problems and others admit unified solutions through operator theoretic methods that allow their generalizations to matrix-valued analytic functions of one variable. Such an improvement provides important applications to signal processing and control theory, and accounts for the current interest in the study of Hankel operators.

Logic and Mathematics---from Cantor to Shelah
I discuss the role of logic in mathematics in the light of both
classical and recent advances in mathematical logic. The concepts and
methods of logic have helped us to understand, for example, why
Cantor's Continuum Hypothesis, and algorithmic solution of Diophantine
equations (Hilbert's 1st and 10th problems), are hard or impossible to
solve. On the other hand, the logical analysis of mathematical
structures has uncovered a rich general theory of classes of
structures with a so called complete first order axiomatization. The
most beautiful manifestation of this is S. Shelah's Classification
Theory, the most famous result of which can be summarized as follows:
Classes of structures with a complete first order axiomatization
always contain either maximally many structures, which are moreover
indistinguishable from each other, or rather few structures, all
easily distinguishable from each other.
