[DMANET] Workshop on "Discrete, Computational and Algebraic Topology" in Copenhagen

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


*************************************************************************

Workshop on

"Discrete, Computational and Algebraic Topology"
November 10-14, 2014,
at U Copenhagen, Denmark

http://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/conferences/2014/dcat2014/

*************************************************************************



Scope of the workshop:
----------------------

The computation of algebraic invariants and other structural information
is at the heart of

* Discrete Topology/Topological Combinatorics (in theory)

as well as of

* Computational Topology (in applications).

In this workshop, we aim at bringing together researchers with synergistic
research interests from both areas to foster interaction and to exchange
ideas on

- homology calculations,
- discrete Morse theory,
- persistent homology,
- complexity issues,
- random and structural aspects

of simplicial/cell complexes of a theoretical origin or from applied
topological data.
