The São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (SPSAS-ACO) will be held from 18 to 29 July 2016, at the University of São Paulo, Brazil.
http://sp-school2016.ime.usp.br
The school is aimed at Master's students, PhD students, and young researchers. Exceptional undergraduate students may also qualify.
COURSES:
- Robert Kleinberg (Cornell), Combinatorial stochastic search and selection
- Yoshiharu Kohayakawa (USP), The regularity method and blow-up lemmas for sparse graphs
- Alexandr Kostochka (UIUC), Coloring sparse graphs with few colors
- Daniel Král' (Warwick), Graph limits and their applications in extremal combinatorics
- Cláudio L. Lucchesi (UFMS), The perfect matching polytope, solid bricks and the perfect matching lattice
- Flávio K. Miyazawa (UNICAMP) and Fernando Mário de Oliveira Filho (USP), Geometric packing
- Rob Morris (IMPA), The method of hypergraph containers
- Sinai Robins (USP), Harmonic analysis on polytopes and cones
- Levent Tunçel (Waterloo), Semidefinite programming techniques in combinatorial optimization
- Eli Upfal (Brown), Sample complexity and uniform convergence
- David Williamson (Cornell), Recent progress in approximation algorithms for the traveling salesman problem (to be confirmed)
Additionally, there will be a series of talks on advanced research topics and participants will be invited to present their work in poster sessions. The school will provide a congenial environment for participant interactions.
Participants may choose the courses they will attend, but are expected to stay for the whole duration of the school (arrival date: 17 July; departure date: 30 July). We expect to have around 85 students and young researchers.
COSTS AND FELLOWSHIPS:
Local expenses of all participants will be fully covered. Help towards travelling expenses will also be provided to most participants.
APPLICATION:
Funding applications sent by March 28 will receive full consideration.
An online application form will soon be available at http://sp-school2016.ime.usp.br
SPONSOR
The school is financed by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), under the SPSAS program: http://espca.fapesp.br/home
