DIMAP Summer School on Approximation and Randomized Algorithms
http://go.warwick.ac.uk/dimap-summer-school-10
University of Warwick
July 12 - 16, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------
A summer school on approximation and randomized algorithms is
organized from July 12 till 16, 2010, by the Centre for Discrete
Mathematics and its Applications (DIMAP) and the Department of
Computer Science at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom.
The aim of this summer school is to bring together young researchers
interested in the area of approximation and randomized algorithms,
and to introduce them to the newest advances in the field through
courses delivered by three excellent invited speakers.
Program
-----
Three invited speakers each will give two 90-minute lectures,
each followed by a 90-minute exercise session. The distinguished
speakers are
* Prof. Uriel Feige, Weizmann Institute of Science
"Algorithmic Applications of Spectral Graph Theory"
* Prof. Anupam Gupta, Carnegie Mellon University
"Stochastic Optimization"
* Prof. Roger Wattenhofer, ETH Zuerich
"Distributed Algorithms"
Location
--------
The summer school will be hosted by the Centre for Discrete
Mathematics and its Applications (DIMAP) and the Department of
Computer Science at the campus of the University of Warwick,
United Kingdom. The campus is located in the "Heart of England"
less than half an hour from Coventry and Birmingham, and is
easy to reach from most places in the UK (about 2 hours by
train or coach from London). It is also close to Birmingham
International Airport, which has flights to other cities in
the UK, Europe, and further abroad.
Contributed Talks
----------------------------------
Participants (particularly PhD students) also will have an
opportunity to give talks.
Registration
------------
The registration fee is GBP 100. It covers the attendance at
the lectures, lunches and coffee breaks during the meeting,
and an excursion (including dinner). The registration fee
does not cover accommodation, and a list of recommended
accommodation options will be available at the summer school's
web page in May.
The deadline for registration (via the web page at
http://go.warwick.ac.uk/dimap-summer-school-10 will be one day
after England is eliminated from the 2010 FIFA World Cup;
which will be sometime between June 26 and July 12.
