[DMANET] 24th Cumberland Conference, May 12-14, 2011: second announcement

This announcement is being sent to multiple mailing lists; apologies
to those who receive duplicate copies of it.

The 24th Cumberland Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and
Computing will be held at the University of Louisville from Thursday,
May 12 through Saturday, May 14, 2011. At this point we are pleased to
announce a new development: travel and lodging expenses may be
provided by the National Science Foundation, for participants without
federal support, students, and attendees from traditionally
underrepresented groups; please consult the conference website for
further details and a reimbursement form. The reimbursement form must
be received by Friday, April 15th in order for us to fully consider
the support request.

The program has also been revised and expanded to include details on
plenary addresses and a reception on Friday, May 13th, sponsored by
the University of Louisville Logistics and Distribution Institute, at
the Kentucky Derby Museum.

This annual conference has brought together combinatorial
mathematicians and computer scientists from the southeastern and
midwestern United States since 1988. The conference features four
hour-long plenary addresses by invited speakers and 60 twenty-minute
contributed talks. Plenary addresses this year will be presented by:

* Maria Axenovich (Iowa State University): "Unaviodable Patterns in
Colorings"

* Jeno Lehel (University of Memphis): "From the irregularity strength
of graphs to the degree irregularity of random hypergraphs"

* Dhruv Mubayi (University of Illinois at Chicago): "Coloring Simple
Hypergraphs"

* William T. Trotter (Georgia Institute of Technology): "Planarity for
Partially Ordered Sets"

Abstracts for these addresses and further information on the financial
support available are on the website at:
< http://www.math.louisville.edu/Cumberland/ >

Registration and abstract submission are available via the
website. The deadline for abstract submission is Friday, April 8,
2011, or when all speaking slots are filled.

This message is being sent on behalf of the organizing committee for
the 24th Cumberland Conference: Csaba Biro, Adam Jobson, Andre Kezdy,
Ewa Kubicka, Grzegorz Kubicki, Susan White, and Jake Wildstrom.
