[DMANET] ODSA 2010

First Announcement

OPTIMAL DISCRETE STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS (ODSA 2010)

September 13-15, 2010, Rostock, Germany

http://www.math.uni-rostock.de/odsa/


The ODSA 2010 conference, to be held at the University of Rostock,
continues the ODSA series following previous conferences in 1997,
2000 and 2006.
The University of Rostock was founded in 1419 and is the oldest
university in Northern Europe. The old Hanse-town Rostock is located
about 200 km north of Berlin at the Baltic coast.

AIMS AND SCOPE

The conference aims at the interactions between several aspects of Discrete
Mathematics, Mathematical Optimization, Theoretical Computer Science, and
their applications. In particular, the scope of the conference includes
combinatorial optimization and algorithms on discrete structures, extremal
problems in posets, design theory, coding theory, and graph theory.

ORGANIZERS

A. Brandstädt and V.B. Le (Dept. of Computer Science),
K. Engel, H.-D. Gronau, R. Labahn and F. Pfender (Dept. of Mathematics).

INVITED SPEAKERS

Bela Bollobas (Cambridge, Memphis)
Michal Karonski (Poznan)
Kurt Mehlhorn (Saarbrücken)
Walter Wallis (Carbondale)
Peter Widmayer (Zürich)
Gerhard Woeginger (Eindhoven)
