GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ADDICTION
*******************************************************

ADDICTION is the second international event organised by the Inria
AMICI International Partnership (http://team.inria.fr/bamboo/amici/).

Its focus is on:
- smart data structures;
- algorithm engineering and experimental algorithms;
- probabilistic algorithms;
- (M)ILP approaches simple and enumerative.
On the application side there will be a special interest in computational
biology. The School is addressed to young researchers at the PhD
student or postdoc level, but may, depending on space, greet other
interested participants. The scope of ADDICTION is international.

COURSES AND LECTURERS
***********************************

The school features the following four lecturers:

* Friedrich Eisenbrandt (EPFL, Switzerland)

* Giuseppe Italiano (University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Italy)

* Kurt Melhorn (Max-Planck-Institute für Informatik at
Saarbrücken, Germany)

ADDICTION will be held at the Olissippo Marquês de Sá hotel,
in Lisbon, Portugal. The hotel is a 2-minutes walk away from the

Situated on the west coast of the country, where the Tagus river
meets the Atlantic Ocean, Lisbon is the western-most capital in
mainland Europe. It is known as the white city, thanks to its unique
luminosity. The light, the atmosphere and the climate offer
marvelous walks all over the city. Lisbon is extremely lively,

nightlife. A huge selection of restaurants is available, featuring
Portuguese and international cuisine.

Lisbon can be easily reached by daily direct flights from major
international cities.
