[DMANET] Celebrating Robert Jamison's 65th birthday with special sessions in Boca (March 3-7, 2014)

A track of special sessions on "Structured Families of Graphs:
Mathematical and Algorithmic Aspects" will be organized at the 45th
Southeastern Conference of Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Computing
(Boca Raton, March 3-7, 2014). See website:
http:/www.math.fau.edu/cgtc/cgtc45 We will also take this opportunity to
celebrate the 65th birthday of Robert Jamison at our sessions.

Invited 35 minute talks will be given by
Derek Corneil, Martin Golumbic, Pavol Hell, Robert Jamison,
Ortrud Oellerman, Jerry Spinrad, Ann Trenk and Tom Trotter,

AND there is an open call (below) for a larger number of 15 minute contributed
talks, to be submitted in the usual Boca Conference tradition, spanning areas
related to Robert's research and the theme of the special track.

We're also happy to report that Maria Chudnovsky and Noga Alon have
accepted Fred Hoffman's invitation to be plenary speakers on Wednesday of the
general conference this year.

For some of us, the Boca Meeting has been off-our-radar-screen for a
while. We hope that this year will be an opportunity for many of us to get
together for research discussions and joint work, and to honor Robert.

Best wishes, Derek Corneil and Marty Golumbic
