[DMANET] "Efficient Algorithms in Optimization, Game Theory, and Data Science" in Aachen, 1st and 2nd of October

You are cordially invited to participate at the workshop
"Efficient Algorithms in Optimization, Game Theory, and Data Science"
next week in Aachen on Thursday and Friday, the 1st and 2nd of October.

The schedule for the talks is now finalized and given below. More
details on location, abstracts, etc. can be found on
www.oms.rwth-aachen.de/cms/OMS/Studium/~iumz/Workshop/lidx/1/

We kindly ask you to register until next Monday for organizatorial
purposes (like ordering enough coffee), even if you cannot attend the
entire workshop. There will be no registration fee.

We are looking forward to a nice and interesting workshop,
