Konstantinos Panagiotou, Thomas Sauerwald, Reto Spöhel and me (all MPI
Informatics, Saarbrücken) are teaching a block course (4 weeks,
September 12 to October 7, each week a different topic) on advanced
randomized topics in CS:
- Mastermind, Black-Box Complexity and Other Guessing Games (B. Doerr)
- The Power of Two Choices (R. Spöhel)
- Models for Complex Networks (K. Panagiotou)
- Randomized Rumor Spreading (T. Sauerwald)
The primary audience are PhD or Master students from Saarland
University, but participants from other places are equally welcome. A
strong theory background is mandatory. More details can be found at

If you have students who might be interested, please spread this rumor.
All the best
