PARAMETERIZED COMPLEXITY: NOT-ABOUT-GRAPHS!

August, 2011 Charles Darwin University (CDU), Northern Territory, AUSTRALIA
===============================================================
DESCRIPTION
To date, much of the work in parameterized algorithmics has been
focused in the area of graph algorithms. However, computational
complexity is an issue that arises everywhere.
The focus of the workshop is on reporting new advances regarding the
parameterized computational complexity of problems in algebra, number
theory, analysis, topology, game theory, geometry - anything that
takes the field into new and unexplored directions of relevance. It is
also focused on identifying and promoting the key unsolved problems in
these new directions.
Following the workshop, there will be a publication outcome to be
published by CDU Press. We expect the discussions and presentations to
be rich with possibilities for further development of entire research
areas, and programmatic themes that can be developed into future
research proposals. Please let us know if you would like to give a
presentation.
There will be a website devoted to open problems, progress on which we
would like to see reported at the workshop, and that will in any case
serve to collect and publicize key open problems to promote these new
directions of parameterized complexity research.
DATES: Weekend of 5-8 August 2011 for Darwin Workshop plus extra days
9-13 August for a Problem-Solving (and touring) Session. The weekend
Workshop starts at 6 pm on Friday evening, August 5, and ends at noon
on Monday, August 8 at Charles Darwin University in Darwin (Casuarina
campus).
For those who wish to stay on after, following the workshop will be
several days of problem-solving "Barbados-style," possibly on
flip-charts out in the bush. We will depart Darwin on the morning of
August 9 on a bus or van to visit areas of interest, such as Katherine
Gorge. Distances are vast, so we will arrange lodging (although we may
ask for a donation). Families are welcome. We will work, but also
enjoy the serenity and excitement of the Northern Territory. We will
return to Darwin on Saturday August 13.
Remember, that Australia is a day ahead, so if you are leaving Darwin
on Sunday, you will arrive in US or Europe on Sunday, "time starts
here".
