Preface
The second Symposium on Stochastic Algorithms, Foundations and Applications (SAGA 2003), took place on September 22–23, 2003, in Hatfield, England. The present volume comprises 12 contributed papers and 3 invited talks. The contributed papers included in the proceedings present results in the following areas: ant colony optimization; randomized algorithms for the intersection problem; local search for constraint satisfaction problems; randomized local search methods for combinatorial optimization, in particular, simulated annealing techniques; probabilistic global search algorithms; network communication complexity; open shop scheduling; aircraft routing; traffic control; randomized straight-line programs; and stochastic automata and probabilistic transformations. The invited talk by Roland Kirschner provides a brief introduction to quantum informatics. The requirements and the prospects of the physical implementation of a quantum compu
